  • These suspects helped Novavax, Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland, produce genetically-modified recombinants of the avian, swine, and Spanish flu viruses, H5N1 and H1N1, nearly identical to the unprecedented Mexican virus that is allegedly spreading to the United States at the time of this posting.

  • The structural studies begun with analysis of recombinants in our lab by Greg Preston and Jin Sup Jung led to proposition of the hourglass model - a unique structure with four subunits each containing an individual aqueous pore formed from two hemi-channels oriented at 180° to each other that overlap within the bilayer.
