Our next KIER (Knowledge, Inclusion and Equity in Research) book club will be on the 28th February, where we'll be discussing Medical Apartheid, a book about the non-consensual use of African American people in medical research You only get cake if you attend!

To get 2025 off to a good start, I'm delighted to share with you our study published today in @NatureMicrobiol 🎉 We studied the ability of the receptor-binding proteins (RBP) of >100 animal viruses to mediate entry into human cells. A short thread below. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Do you think you've had long-term GI problems since having Covid? We are performing a study examining the characteristics of viruses, specifically persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections, in stool samples. 1/3

Really incredible work, high-risk viruses are already circulating in wild and farm animals, including CoVs. This underscores the importance of pandemic preparedness research to stop future naturally occurring pandemics. 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper out @Nature - why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? sex chromosomes or hormones? Here we studied adaptation of human immune systems to gender-affirming…

It’s fair season, so before you and your family head to an agricultural fair, learn the actions you can take to keep everyone healthy and protected against #H5N1 #birdflu. More here: bit.ly/4czA2wz

RSV kills 20-30 babies in the UK every year and even milder cases are just miserable, as I know from 2x very sick babies of my own 😢 So great to hear that from 1st September, the UK will be offering an RSV vaccine in pregnancy to protect newborns! 🥳 gov.uk/government/pub…

Curious about many of the cell intrinsic blocks to infection of lentiviruses in our cells? We wrote a (fairly comprehensive) review to help guide you through on this decades-long literature dive. (credit to UW Ph.D. student Joy who did much of the heavy lifting here)

Delighted to be giving the first @VirologyWakate journal club! I'll be talking about a cool evolutionary arms race story between SARS-CoVs and bat immune systems I worked on with @WilsonLabCITIID during our time at the @CVRinfo! This Wed, 7pm Japan time, register below ⬇⬇⬇

We are inviting everyone, especially the young virologists worldwide, to join us for the very first journal club of Wakate Young Virologists Network. Our first speaker is Dr. Spyros Lytras @SpyrosLytras of @SystemsVirology Lab. Please repost! 🦠
