Explore the role of LDL related receptor proteins in viral infection through this 56-minute keynote presentation with live Q&A. Delivered by Dr. Gaya K. Amarasinghe, a renowned biochemist specializing in viral replication and host-pathogen interactions, the webinar delves into the intricate mechanisms RNA viruses employ to interact with host proteins. Discover how these interactions facilitate viral entry, immune evasion, replication, and spread. Learn about recent genome-wide 'omics studies that have identified crucial host factors in RNA viral infections, with a focus on the LDL family receptor's role in promoting vector-borne viral infections. Gain insights into the biochemical and structural studies defining how Lrp1 interaction with viral factors contributes to infection both in vitro and in vivo. Understand the implications of LDL related receptor use by bunyaviruses on tropism and dissemination. Participate in the live Q&A session to deepen your understanding of this cutting-edge research.
