This visit has been postponed.  Once we have a new date/time, we will readvertize.  We apologize for the cancellation.

Dr. Lindenbach will be visiting us from Yale School of Medicine, for further information regarding Dr. Lindenbach, visit the his website.

The Lindenbach lab uses molecular genetic, biochemical, and cell biological approaches to study the replication of flaviviruses (yellow fever virus, dengue virus, Zika virus, and others), hepaciviruses (hepatitis C virus (HCV) and others), and pestiviruses (bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and others).  This talk will discuss: 1) the role of the HCV and BVDV RNA helicase in packaging viral RNA within newly forming virus particles; 2) the mechanism by which flavivirus nucleocapsids are uncoated during virus entry.
