Virologists are on the move in December š¦šŗš³šæ. Letās talk about š¦ and create disease solutions. Two awesome meetings back -2- back in Victoria. avs2024.org and hendra30.com. Aust'asian Virology Dr Alison Peel Jennifer Barr Come join us- abstracts are open
New review out from our lab looking at the state of vaccine development for flaviviruses. The field still faces challenges developing these vaccines, and so is it time to look at different approaches? Read about it below. mdpi.com/2076-393X/12/8ā¦ Vaccines MDPI
Very happy to contribute to this publication, led by Mary Petrone of the Holmes lab, on the discovery of a GINORMOUS* flavi-like virus (*I think that's the accepted technical term). But how does it navigate the error threshold?!? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnā¦
