DESCRIPTION:Viruses have evolved mechanisms to transfer their genes into h
 ost cells in order to make copies of themselves and infect other cells. A 
 solution used by many pathogenic viruses is to assemble and leave the cell
  by budding through and wrapping itself in the host membrane. When infecti
 ng the cell\, these lipid-enveloped viruses attach to the surface of cells
  and then enter by fusing the virus membrane with host membranes. Focussin
 g on viruses such as influenza virus\, coronaviruses\, and retroviruses\, 
 this presentation describes the application of cryogenic electron microsco
 py (cryo-EM) to understand the protein architecture used by these viruses 
 to self-assemble and to fuse with target cells.\n\n\nTalks are priced at 
 £4 for non-Scientific Society members. Scientific Society members will ha
