Lucie Nepovímová is a Fulbright Visiting Scholar in Prof. Wright’s Lab. She joined the group in September 2025 from the Plevka Lab at CEITEC Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. With a background in Biochemistry from King’s College London and an MSc in Immunology from Masaryk University, Lucie has explored virus–antibody interactions using single particle Cryo-EM. During the Fulbright stay, she’s diving into the world of correlative microscopy and Cryo-ET to study enterovirus replication in situ— excited to expand her structural toolkit and to reveal the hidden choreography of viral replication!
