Welcome to the Abraham Lab!
We use methods in molecular virology and structural biology to study how viruses interact with cellular receptors and how neutralizing antibodies can block these interactions. We also investigate how viral polymerases replicate or transcribe viral genomes once viruses infect cells.
We focus this work on viruses that cause lethal human diseases with limited treatment or vaccine options.
