His work uncovers how these assemblies work, and exposes routes to manipulate them to treat human diseases. This project will reveal the molecular interactions between viral and host proteins that allow for the integration of viral genetic information into the host genome. The resulting structures and biochemical data will provide a framework for understanding how these interactions cause infection and will reveal insights into how this process may be blocked. The findings could lead to new antiviral medications.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Lyumkis will provide scientific training to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as an introduction to structural biology and virology to high-school students through local outreach programs to inspire future careers in science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am incredibly excited to have been selected for this award, as it will enable my team to study both viral and host molecular machines and their interactions at the level of the genome,\u201d says Lyumkis, a member of Salk\u2019s Laboratory of Genetics and holder of the Hearst Foundation Developmental Chair. \u201cThis direction will establish important foundations for my lab and will have implications for a broad range of human diseases. Additionally, the funding will allow me to pursue numerous outreach endeavors, which I feel is so critical at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lyumkis has also received the National Institutes of Health Director\u2019s Early Independence Award and the George Palade Award.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[320],"disease-research":[366],"class_list":["post-29049","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry","faculty-dmitry-lyumkis","disease-research-infectious-disease"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Salk Assistant Professor Dmitry Lyumkis receives CAREER award from NSF - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/de\/news-release\/salk-assistant-professor-dmitry-lyumkis-receives-career-award-from-nsf\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk Assistant Professor Dmitry Lyumkis receives CAREER award from NSF - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014Assistant Professor Dmitry Lyumkis has received a Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
