Packaging, Targeting, and Replication of Virus-derived RNA Replicons — NSF Award to University of California-Los Angeles (CA, $763
In order to better control and treat viral outbreaks such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to better understand on a molecular level the life cycles of RNA viruses – how they get into and out of their host cells, and how they replicate in those cells.

| Abstract | In order to better control and treat viral outbreaks such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to better understand on a molecular level the life cycles of RNA viruses – how they get into and out of their host cells, and how they replicate in those cells. This project focuses on three of the simplest and best characterized RNA viruses – ones, like SARS-2, whose genomes are single-stranded RNA that the target cell translates into viral proteins. This project aims to discover fundamen |
