Roane has worked for three years as a research assistant in the
fields of molecular virology and three-dimensional cryo-electron
microscopy. By combining what he learned in these two fields Roane
was able to create some of the first known high-resolution images
of certain picornaviruses interacting with their human receptors.
His latest project has been the determination of the human receptor
footprint on the surface of the poliovirion capsid. He has published
reports on his research with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
at Brigham Young University, and with the Journal of Virology.
Roane is a registered patent agent, and has been with Bateman IP Law Group since August 2006.
