Owen Pornillos is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah. His research focuses on HIV biochemistry and structural biology, virus-host interactions, and innate anti-viral defenses. He integrates structural biology techniques (NMR, X-ray crystallography, cryoEM, cryoET), biophysics, biochemistry, and molecular virology in his work.
- B.S., University of the Philippines
- Ph.D., University of Utah
His lab investigates:
- Structural and functional analysis of HIV capsids during virion maturation
- Atomic-level modeling of viral assembly mechanisms
- Host innate immune response proteins like TRIM5α
- Development of experimental platforms using biochemical reconstitutions
- Applications of fluorescence microscopy and virus imaging
- Exploitation of viral mechanisms for novel delivery systems
The 2023-2011 publications highlight expertise in molecular switches, capsid dynamics, TRIM5-mediated defenses, and structural biology of retroviral processes. Awards and student mentorship details are not explicitly stated in the provided text.
