Sriram Subramaniam, PhD (Damon Runyon Fellow '87-'90) and his team at the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Center for Cancer Research Laboratory of Cell Biology, Bethesda, were recently profiled in the NCI Cancer Bulletin. They are developing tools and strategies for high resolution imaging of cells and viruses, particularly HIV and cancer. His group recently won an award for the image of a melanoma cell and published 3D images of the structures HIV uses to enter cells, created with electron tomography. These novel imaging techniques will enable scientists to answer questions that they previously lacked the technology to address.
