<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Structural Informatics Unit (SIU) seeks to elucidate the molecular architecture, function, and epitope diversity of viral proteins. The research program exploits 3D electron microscopy of viruses and protein
complexes to obtain structural information. Structural analyses are supported by other structural, biochemical, and immunological analyses in order to understand antigen-antibody interactions and aid in both structure-assisted immunogen and therapeutic designs
for infectious diseases. Our research program integrates structural, biochemical and immunogenicity studies with bioinformatics to facilitate a collaborative synergy between these disciplines in the context of the focus on structure-function studies of viruses
and viral proteins. A major focus is on the antigenicity, structure, and function of influenza virus and the development of both more effective seasonal vaccines and a universal influenza vaccine.

these areas: structural biology (cryo-electron microscopy or x-ray crystallography), computational biology/image or data processing. Also, candidates with backgrounds in areas such as immunology, virology, protein biochemistry, vaccine development and animal
studies are strongly encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
