Yi-Chih Lin Receives NIH Maximizing Investigators' Research Award

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Yi-Chih Lin, recipient of a five-year NIH Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA) grant titled, “Real-time structural and functional studies of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins." This $1.95M grant will support Dr. Lin's research in developing a cutting-edge structural imaging technique, high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), for real-time observations of spike proteins’ structural and functional dynamics in close-to-native environments at the single-molecular level.
