Expression of recombinant coat proteins and purification of assembled VLPs using sedimentation, ultrafiltration, and affinity- and size-exclusion chromatography
High-throughput screening of VLP disassembly under biochemical challenges with sequencing-based readouts of barcoded particles
Characterization of assembly and disassembly products using single-particle techniques, including interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT), negative-stain and cryo-electron microscopy (TEM/cryo-EM)
Design independent subprojects and contribute intellectually to the direction of the research, with growing autonomy over time

Publishing and Presenting 30%
