Wiley is considered an expert on Ebola

Bioterrorists couldn't live without the X-ray crystal structure of the Ebola virus. right.

He's proved that most viruses use a common mechanism to infect.

viruses also use similar trimer-of-hairpins proteins in infection, and a similar approach to inhibiting attachment might also work against them. "Work from our lab and from Don Wiley's lab has shown that the influenza and Ebola viruses use a similar mechanism, and we have recently shown that the human respiratory syncytial virus also uses the trimer-of-hairpins motif. All of these viruses are significant threats to human health, and we are hopeful that our approach to HIV inhibition can be broadly effective against them as well,"
