Erica Jacobs, Ph.D.

The Jacobs lab studies protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions, with a focus on the pathogen-host interface, using biochemical and bioanalytical techniques including mass spectrometry. Current projects include: developing antibodies targeting the Covid-19 virus spike protein, studying the structure and function of anti-tick vaccine proteins, and mapping the course of mRNAs as they are produced and transported out of the nucleus
