Adam Zlotnick studies how viruses build their protein shells (capsids), focusing especially on the hepatitis B virus (HBV). His work combines structural biology, physics, and molecular modeling to understand the step-by-step process of viral self-assembly and to identify drugs that disrupt it, offering routes toward new antiviral treatments.
Publication activity has been steady but somewhat variable, averaging about five papers per year over the last five years with no clear long-term increase or decline.
