The fitness landscape of HIV-1 gag: advanced modeling approaches and validation of model predictions by in vitro testing.

Viral immune evasion by sequence variation is a major hindrance to HIV-1 vaccine design. To address this challenge, our group has developed a computational model, rooted in physics, that aims to predict the fitness landscape of HIV-1 proteins in order to design vaccine immunogens that lead to impair...
