How do scientists visualize the proteins involved in HIV infection? Recent Scripps Research alum Sharidan Brown, PhD, takes us inside one of the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) facilities on campus, where biological samples are flash-frozen, imaged and transformed into detailed molecular models. During her graduate studies, Brown used cryo-EM to study how antibodies bind to the HIV envelope glycoprotein, helping researchers better understand immune responses and inform the design of future vaccines. #ScrippsResearch #HIV #MolecularBiology #CryoEM #StructuralBiology
