DESCRIPTION:Enveloped viruses acquire their membrane coat from host cells 
 and rely on cellular machinery to facilitate envelopment and egress of vir
 us progeny. During my PhD\, I examined egress-related interactions between
  host cell factors and proteins of two viruses\, hepatitis D virus (HDV) a
 nd herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Using structural and biochemical techni
 ques\, I investigated the interaction between the large antigen of HDV and
  the trafficking protein clathrin. Only few interactions between HSV-1 and
  cellular proteins promoting  viral egress are known. Using unbiased scree
 ning\, I identified novel binding partners of the HSV-1 protein UL56.\n
