She applies knowledge of cell biology, molecular biology, and protein structure to study various aspects related to the biochemistry of the viral particle, the most emblematic structure of viruses. In the laboratory, she explores the diversity of viral particle shapes and functions, studies the mechanisms involved in viral particle assembly, and how to transform them into nanocarriers for therapeutic molecules with biotechnological applications. She also aims to understand how the mechanisms of protein translation control interfere with viral protein production and the assembly of viral particles within host cells.
