'Developing novel antiviral fusion proteins for Zika virus'
Elliot Oram
Co-hosted by the University of Liverpool and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the Virology Seminar Series aims to foster collaboration across Liverpool. Each session will explore the latest advances in viral pathogenesis, immunology, and control strategies, whilst supporting early career researchers in their presentation skills. Each will feature a 20-minute talk followed by lively discussion!
Our speaker is Elliot Oram, a first year PhD student in Professor Julian Hiscox’s group at the University at Liverpool. Elliott studied Tropical Disease at the University of Liverpool and then completed an MRes in Infectious Disease at LSTM. At LSTM Elliot worked with Dr Aitor Casas-Sanchez on antiviral fusion proteins. Elliot has since formally established a collaboration involving Aitor and Professor Julian Hiscox. This collaboration allows Elliot to continue working on fusion proteins, while also applying the machine learning and bioinformatics tools to glycobiology. This talk will focus on work developing antiviral fusion proteins for Zika virus.
During the seminars, we are hoping to offer a slice of pizza (funding pending), providing an opportunity to network with fellow researchers, clinicians, and students.
We look forward to your participation in what promises to be an inspiring series of discussions and collaborations.
