3-D Nanoscale Imaging of Coronavirus Analogues at Various Stages of Cell Infection

In the project, we will use an advanced microscope instrument, called a focused ion beam, to capture 3-D datasets of a coronavirus analogue and SARS-CoV-2 infecting cells to understand its biomechanical relationship at the cellular level. The intern will work on sample preparation, imaging of infection and turning those images into a computerized model to gain insights into the infection mechanism.
