Scholar-generated biography
Lara Grollo, affiliated with The University of Melbourne, focuses on the development of antiviral agents and immunogens targeting enterovirus 71 and influenza viruses. Her research explores the structural requirements for TLR2 ligand agonist activity, the antiviral potential of medicinal plant extracts, and the design of synthetic B-cell epitopes for cross-neutralizing antibodies. She also investigates the role of heparan sulfate in viral entry and the impact of heparin on gene expression in infected cells. Grollo's work emphasizes in vitro evaluation of antiviral compounds and the use of in silico approaches to identify neutralizing epitopes. Her contributions span vaccine design, molecular biology, and educational strategies in biomedical science.
