Projects

The mission of the Pittsburgh Center for HIV Protein Interactions (PCHPI) is to understand HIV maturation and the early cellular events of HIV infection by characterizing HIV-host cell protein interactions/complexes at a high-resolution, molecular level. "Early cellular events" include those that occur after engagement of cell surface receptors and membrane fusion through to genome integration. Current projects are focused on CA and capsid interactions, proteins involved in trafficking and nuclear import, retroviral intasome structure, and analyses of the HIV-1 pre-integration complex.
