Thank you very much @MoAlQuraishi for an outstanding keynote lecture and great discussions at the International #HBV meeting in #Chicago. @HepBFoundation @iannaconelab


Just a quick reminder that the abstract submission deadline for the international #HBV meeting hbvmeeting.org is June 28 (3pm EDT)! Please register and submit your abstracts! @iannaconelab @HepBFoundation and I are looking forward to welcoming you in #Chicago Please RT

Loke and colleagues quantify the relative and interactive contributions of genetic and environmental influences on heterogeneity in immune profiles and helminth susceptibility. Read it here: rdcu.be/dKPrZ nature.com/articles/s4159…

Babies born to a mother with #hepatitisB have a greater than 90% 📈 chance of developing hepatitis B if they're not properly treated at birth. 👩🏽‍🍼 🔊If your doctor is aware that you have #hep B, they can prevent transmission to your baby. Learn more 💻 hepb.org/treatment-and-…

Adults in the U.S. have very low rates of vaccination, primarily because many were born before the vaccine became a health care standard & mandated for school. 💉The #hepB vaccine is widely used with 1 billion + doses given & is one of the safest & effective vaccines in the 🌍

CRISPR is an amazing gene🧬-editing tool! And the @bsadamson Adamson lab is making it even better!! Read the explainer/press release about their major improvement to prime editing, published in Nature: molbio.princeton.edu/news/2024/adam…

It has been an immense privilege and honor to review with John MacMicking and Carl Nathan in @ScienceMagazine the past 40 years of IFN-gamma research, and reflect on its neglected and potential role as a medicine science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…


Please check out our newest study deciphering diff. in signaling strength betw type I&III #interferon receptors science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Outstanding work by @EmilyMesev + fantastic collaboration with the terrific @toettch ! Thanks to everyone involved! @PrincetonMolBio @Princeton


Thank you very much @RMedzhitov for an excellent, thought provoking seminar and insightful discussions during your visit @Princeton EEB and @PrincetonMolBio #immunology @CJEMetcalf @Grahammunology


Fantastic collaboration with @cambearon on the development of qCARMEN! Outstanding work by lead author @realbriankang aided by Jiayu Zhang, Michael Schwoerer, Amy Nelson and many others. @PrincetonMolBio @Princeton @PrincetonCHW

Really excited to share the first preprint from a project that started in my lab! We hope that others find this approach for scalable, multiplexed, CRISPR-based quantification of gene expression useful. See the thread from first author @realbriankang summarizing qCARMEN:

Our new work in ⁦@Nature⁩ to explain how retrotransposons synthesize the 2nd-strand DNA by a circularization process. Story: made some cool findings (we thought) -> actually scooped 40-yr ago by textbook knowledge -> textbook appear to be incorrect. nature.com/articles/s4158…


Our newest study is now online! #Hepatitis delta virus #HDV RNA decline post-inoculation in human NTCP transgenic mice is biphasic | mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Congratulations to @stephmaya8 Leeor & Fabian and everyone else involved! @PrincetonMolBio @LoyolaChicago @NO_hep

RNA is informant and agent. Controlled RNA export from cells could enable cell-cell delivery of functional and non-destructive tracking of cell dynamics. Our new paper, led by brilliant @FelixHorns, engineers RNA export for both capabilities: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

Excited to share our labs first @Nature paper! In collaboration with @VintherLab we show that hepatitis C virus #RNA is capped with FAD protecting it from innate immune sensing. rdcu.be/df8p5 Congrats Anna Sherwood and Lizandro Rivera-Rangel 👏🏻🍾 #HCV @UCPH_health
