Walther

Walther Mothes, Associate Professor

I am fascinated by our ability to visualize viruses directly in living animals and to follow the dance of single HIV envelope molecules on the surface of infectious virions. Email

Pradeep

Pradeep Uchil, Post-doctoral Associate

I am studying the antiviral roles of various TRIM proteins. In addition I will concentrate more on the interface between basic and translational research. "Email

Xaver

Xaver Sewald, Post-doctoral Associate

The Mothes lab thought that it is cool to images retroviruses in HEK293 cells, but the relevance was unclear. Thus, I am happy to report that we can visualize virally infected cells directly in living animals. Email

Luis

Luis Agosto, Post-doctoral Associate

I joined the Mothes lab coming from UPenn with a background in HIV and I am working on therapeutic consequences of HIV's ability to efficiently spread between cells. Email

James

James Munro, Post-doctoral Associate

I have a Ph.D. in biophysics and I am thrilled to be able to apply single molecule FRET imaging to various aspects of the HIV life cylce including entry and assembly. Email

Fei

Fei Li, Graduate Student

I am the first Cell Bio student in the Mothes lab and study the biogenesis of virological synapses and the sorting of viral capsid proteins in polarized cells. Email

Christin
