A multidisciplinary team -- graduate student Abhijit Mishra, left; materials science and engineering professor Gerard Wong; and postdoctoral researcher Vernita Gordon -- has solved the mystery of how a stealthy HIV protein gets into cells. They are standing next to a small angle X-ray spectrometer. Their findings could improve the design of therapeutic agents that cross a variety of membrane types.
