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.
Read our latest preprints, “Lachesin is a mosquito receptor for multiple arthritogenic alphaviruses” (1) and “Molecular basis for chikungunya virus recognition of a mosquito-specific receptor” (2).
Read our latest peer-reviewed paper, “Mechanisms of HSV-1 helicase-primase inhibition and replication fork complex assembly.”
