Research summary
AI-generated

Nikolai S. Prokhorov studies how viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages) recognize and attack their host cells, focusing on the molecular structures and machinery involved. Recent work also extends to human genetics, investigating rare disease-causing gene variants identified through clinical and newborn screening. The research combines structural biology, microbiology, and genomics.
