Research interests
Combining Experimental Virology and Artificial Intelligence
In the Grove Lab, we harness cutting-edge artificial intelligence alongside classical experimental virology to investigate the structure, function and evolution of viral proteins. Our focus is viral entry glycoproteins, but our combined computational and experimental approach is broadly applicable across molecular virology.
AI-Enabled Discovery
Artificial intelligence is revolutionising molecular virology, enabling us to predict viral protein structures, infer evolutionary relationships, and identify novel targets for vaccines or therapies. Our AI-driven research includes:
• Viro3D: A comprehensive database of virus protein structure predictions. >4,400 human and animal viruses, >85,000 structural models predicted using AlphaFold and ESMFold.
• A structural perspective on evolution: Mapping glycoprotein structures to reveal deep evolutionary relationships and novel fusion mechanisms.
• Revealing mechanism: Using predicted structures to investigate protein function, helping to characterise viral proteins with previously unknown mechanisms.
Good-old-fashioned Experimental Virology
Experimental virology research grounds our computational predictions in real-world biology. We apply a range of classical virological techniques to explore viral entry, host interactions, and evolution. Our investigations focus on:
• Evolution and Adaptation: Exploring how viral proteins evolve to adapt to host and evade immune responses, and how this relates to glycoprotein structure and function.
• Fundamentals of Virus Entry: Investigating how the structure and dynamics of viral glycoproteins relate to receptor interactions and function.
