Virus Structure and Assembly:
You have reached the Prevelige laboratory in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The lab studies virus assembly using a wide variety of techniques. More...

Experimental Systems and Approaches:
The lab studies the assembly of two different viruses, the Salmonella typhimurium bacteriophage P22 and HIV. The P22 system affords the advantages of being a well defined system in which genetic manipulations are straightforward. More...

Virus Based Nano-technology
Viral capsids represent symmetrical nanoscale platforms that are amenable to both genetic and chemical manipulation. In collaboration with labs at the University of Alabama and Montana State University we are using bacteriophage P22 as a platform for photo-catalysis and nano-medicine. More...

Mass Spectrometry of Macromolecular Complexes:
Mass spectrometry has become a powerful technique in structural biology as evidenced by the 2002 Nobel prize in Chemistry. More...
