  2. #introduction I am a staff scientist at Pasteur Institute in Paris where I study viruses using structural biology approaches, X-ray crystallography and now expanding to cryo-EM. I'm especially curious about the ancient viruses that like to linger and co-evolve with us #herpesviruses #foamyviruses #ERVs, and what we can learn from them in terms of entry mechanisms and origins of the proteins involved in entry. I also like to follow how deep learning methods can help structural biology.
