The project studies how actin cortex properties affect HIV-1, HIV-2, and HTLV-1 particle assembly, with the aim of addressing knowledge gaps and informing antiviral target identification and therapeutic development.

### Description

This project investigates how the cellular actin cortex relates to the formation of human retrovirus particle assembly sites, including the trafficking and assembly of Gag-genomic RNA complexes.
