Register for the February 25 Webinar: Seeing Bird Flu in 3D

Viruses represent major threats to global health. Historically, pandemics of influenza, polio, smallpox, and many other viruses have spread through populations numerous times, killing and maiming millions of individuals. Outbreaks of influenza A H5N1 are hitting poultry and dairy farms across the nation, with impact on the economy and public health.

Join our webinar to learn how to use RCSB.org tools to explore atomic-level 3D structures of influenza A H5N1 viral proteins that help us understand underlying molecular mechanisms of the virus life cycle. Researchers use these tools and open-access PDB structural data to find ways to block and fight viral infection.

Tuesday February 25, 2025
12–1:00 p.m. Eastern | 9-10:00 a.m. Pacific

Who Should Attend and Key Takeaways

This webinar will benefit public health experts, clinicians, researchers, educators, and students interested in exploring protein structure data for influenza viruses who want to

• Understand the basics of influenza A H5N1 virus
• Identify influenza-related PDB structures and Computed Structure Models for research
• Use Mol* to view structural interactions in 3D
• Learn how to align structures for analysis
• Search the PDB archive by structural motif
• Gain hands-on experience using RCSB.org tools
