I2BC / Département Virologie
Research team
The Virology Department is part of the Institute of Integrative Cell Biology (I2BC) and focuses its research on two main themes, the host-virus interaction and the determination of the atomic structure of macromolecular assemblages formed during an infection. viral.
More transversal themes also emerge from the department's activities:
- mechanism of the viral entry
- viral assembly and transport and intracellular transport of viral and subviral particles
- innate immunity.
This research is fundamental to identify new targets and put in place new therapeutic strategies against viral diseases
