Jolly Lab

We aim to understand the cell biology of HIV-1 infection and spread between T cells. Dissecting the molecular details of how these processes work will provide greater insight into HIV-1 pathogenesis and inform future antiviral strategies.

Our current research focuses on four main areas:

Characterising virus-host interactions that support successful HIV replication in T cells

Dissecting the molecular determinants and regulators of cell-cell spread at virological synapses

Investigating how viral proteins are trafficked in infected cells and how virus assembly is coordinated

Evaluating antiviral therapeutics and inhibitors

We have teamed up with the Towers’ lab to study SARS-CoV-2 and its interaction with host cells, read more about our research here:
