He hopes to pursue projects such as developing therapeutics with chemists, working with biophysicists to study protein conformational changes relevant to viral entry into the cell, and investigating
cellular trafficking pathways relevant to the viral life cycle in collaboration with cell biologists.
Examples of these include cell proliferation, intracellular targeting, cell polarity, membrane
traffic, cell migration, stem cell biology, chromatin regulation and function, differentiation, morphogenesis and biomechanics, and regeneration and
cellular homeostasis, as well as developmental roles of genes,
cellular structural dynamics, and signaling
pathways.
