Victoria D'Souza is a Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, focusing on the interactions and structural dynamics of retroviral RNA and proteins. Her research encompasses the mechanics of reverse transcription and translation in retroviruses such as HIV and Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV). Utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other biophysical methods, her lab investigates the complexities surrounding RNA-protein interactions critical to viral replication and infectivity. Current projects include detailed structural studies of tRNA and its interactions with retroviral components, aiming to shed light on the mechanisms driving viral RNA remodeling and translation readthrough. Victoria's research contributes to the understanding of fundamental processes in retroviral biology and potential strategies for therapeutic interventions.
