Project summary
Professor Harris seeks to achieve a comprehensive understanding of key events in the lifecycle of the hepatitis C virus, with the ultimate goal of developing new antivirals. The questions that underpin his vision involve defining in molecular detail the processes by which the virus genome is replicated and packaged into virus particles, and determining how these events are coordinated.
