Preprint of our work using superinfection exclusion as a refractory mechanism against alphaviruses in Aedes aegypti. Arthropod Genetics Alphey Lab Christine Reitmayer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Saying goodbye to Lewis - it's been a pleasure to have you as part of the team for the past few years. Chocolate cake makes even a sad goodbye a little bit sweeter - especially if it's an educational cake and has the title page of our latest publication on it.

Excited to listen to our lab neighbour @MaringerLab speaking in a couple of hours. The Pirbright Institute #arboviruses

Paper finally out! 🎉 Great effort from the team Sebald Verkuijl Estela González 🏳️‍🌈 Michelle Anderson @jtopsch. In collaboration with Omar Akbari Lab A CRISPR endonuclease gene drive reveals distinct mechanisms of inheritance bias nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our latest work on improving gene drives in Aedes aegypti is out now in Nature Communications rdcu.be/c3PSp
