Introducing the first GROUP podcast ever and video interview recorded at EUCYS! Poojan Pandya and Leo Takemaru won First and Best of Category Award in Microbiology and a ticket to EUCYS Sofia, Bulgaria at Intel ISEF this year. They investigated the role of the protein CCDC11 in the budding of HIV, implementing CRISPR-Cas9 technology. They found that cells lacking CCDC11 showed significantly less budding than normal cells, suggesting that CCDC11 is critical in the process. With their outstanding results, researchers may have a new potential target when creating antiviral medication to fighting HIV. At EUCYS the dream team won the First Prize of 7,000 Euros!
