“The investigations of Stephen Bell have strengthened our understanding of the origins of life. Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry and professor of biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, Stephen is a global leader in chromosome biology through his study of organisms living in extreme conditions.”
Door Pharmaceuticals, a company founded by MCB faculty member Adam Zlotnick, presented a paper at the International HBV Meeting (September 21, 2021). Members of the Door team showed that a small molecule that binds the HBV core protein could suppress HBV production. The Door team speculates that the molecule acts by inhibiting transcription of viral RNA.
A team from the Zlotnick lab, led by student Zhongchao Zhao, showed how a deliberately re-engineered capsid protein subunit could be used to control assembly and disassembly, even making “holey” capsids. In Zhao et al (2021) “Asymmetrizing an icosahedral virus capsid by hierarchical assembly of subunits with designed asymmetry.” Nat Commun. 12:589
