Professional Interests
Dr. Larue’s research interests include identifying novel interactions between host and virally encoded proteins, elucidating the role of cellular cofactors in guiding integration site selection of retroviral integrases, discerning structural determinates for interactions between host proteins, retroviral integrases and select chromatin marks, and investigating methods to improve gammaretroviral based vectors for human gene-therapy. His laboratory utilizes a combination of molecular, biophysical and biochemical approaches coupled with collaborations with experts in structural biology to address these intriguing research interests.
