PMVW01 - 5th International Conference on Packing Problems: Packing and patterns in granular mechanics

Insights into the geometric principles underpinning viral particles provide a key to uncovering the mechanisms by which viruses replicate and infect their hosts. Using novel geometric and topological descriptors of virus architecture in combination with stochastic simulations, I will demonstrate how viral geometry impacts on different aspects of a viral life cycle, including virus assembly and genome release. These results pave the way to innovation in antiviral therapy and virus nanotechnology.
