Incredible news for the Duke Human Vaccine Institute and colleagues across several School departments. Duke Human Vaccine Institute continues to lead and expand HIV vaccine research. corporate.dukehealth.org/news/federal-g…

“The beauty of mRNA is its ability to be adapted quickly and we can produce it in a timely manner to address new variants, which is important for HIV. We will now focus on how we can capitalize on the current science to eradicate infection.” - Dr. Guido Ferrari. Read more:

The DHVI's Wilton Williams, assoc. professor in surgery: "This grant enables us to do something current vaccine research is not funded to do – explore vaccines w/a mission to cure. Right now, it’s either prevention or cure, and we want to achieve a combination of those things.”

Great story Jason McLellan. Nice mention of Daniel Wrapp!

Great work by a talented group. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Out bioRxiv today! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We report the pre- and post-fusion structures of the Langya virus fusion (F) protein. Langya virus (LayV) is phlyogenetically distinct from Nipah virus and Hendra virus that, like LayV, also belong to the Henipavirus genus.

Our study on the Langya virus fusion protein structures (pre- and post-fusion conformations) now online JVirology Editors journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv… 1st author Aaron J May will be at the 3DEM Gordon Research Seminar this weekend. Be sure to stop by his poster!

Our paper on " SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB lineage spike structures, conformations, antigenicity, and receptor recognition" is now bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our paper on the "Conformational trajectory of the HIV-1 fusion peptide during CD4-induced envelope opening" led by Bhishem thakur is now online at Nature Communications: rdcu.be/emrTB Duke Center for HIV Structural Biology DHVI Structural Biology Duke Human Vaccine Institute Duke University School of Medicine Duke University
