Chaiken Research Group
We use a combination of chemical and biological approaches to investigate the fundamental nature of protein interactions in solution, viruses and cells, and their roles in disease pathogenesis. The current focus is to determine the interaction mechanisms of HIV-1 cell entry and to design mechanism-based HIV-1 envelope protein inactivators for AIDS prevention and treatment.
We currently receive research funding from National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, W. W. Smith Charitable Trust, and the Campbell Foundation.
We collaborate with research groups in 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ and 91ÖÆÆ¬³§, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, Dana Farber Cancer Institute – Harvard University, Yale University, Cornell University and the Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai.
