2005 Discovery of a B5 receptor advancing the understanding of Herpes simplex virus and the cells it attacks.

Fuller was a virologist, specializing in research of Herpes simplex virus as well as HIV/AIDS. Fuller and her research team discovered a B5 receptor advancing the understanding of Herpes simplex virus and the cells it attacks. Specifically, her lab studies the pathogenesis of herpes and HIV/AIDS viruses. She is interested in understanding the modes of action of viral cellular entry and early infection, such as membrane fusion mechanisms. Her lab is part of a collaborative effort with chemical engineering and human genetic researchers to develop microchip technologies for early, quick, and inexpensive methods of viral infection detection.
