An interview with Fleming Prize winner Professor Jane McKeating

摘要

My Fleming Prize was awarded for my work on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) glycoprotein diversity and its impact on virus entry and sensitivity to neutralising antibodies. I’ve always been interested in understanding how the apparent chaos of viral RNA genomes can affect viral persistence and pathology, and whether viral sequences can inform us about viral pathogenesis and lead to new therapies. This question is so timely as we are now living through the COVID-19 pandemic and everyone is suddenly interested in RNA viruses!.
