Excited to share this program targeted to senior graduate students and early stage post-docs who are interested in academic careers. Please share.

New today in CID: expert panel update on antibody therapy with COVID-19 convalescent plasma. Important for our post-monoclonal antibody moment. academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar… Mike Thompson, MD, PhD, FASCO Michael Joyner Arturo Casadevall COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19) Registry @wusm_pathology @WashUID #COVID19CP #COVID19

Did you know that the iron in iron-sulfur clusters rapidly exchanges? Check out this beautiful work from the Suess group MIT Chemistry

Follow up study of participants in COVID-19 Convalescent plasma RCT associates post-COVID (long covid) with increased IL-6 and notes reduced symptoms at day 90 for those treated with CCP in first 5 days. Consistent with CCP antiviral effect medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #COVID19CP

No need to break the ice when visiting with the warm and talented scientists and trainees at UW-Madison MMI. Fascinating work on copper handling by fungi in the Nancy Keller Lab. Stimulating discussions, hospitality…and a souvenir! On, Wisconsin! TheKellerLab

Good news: U.S. FDA extended the EUA for COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) until 11/7/2023. This is important because with the impending end of the emergency, EUAs could also end, and CCP is the only antibody based therapy for the immunocompromised. fda.gov/regulatory-inf…

Approximately 50% of the SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing activity in COVID-19 convalescent plasma comes from antibody (Ab)-mediated hydrolysis of the spike protein. Key to showing this was separating Ab catalysis from Ab-binding interference using temperature. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Can anybody help Maarten van Smeden find this (or more related examples)? The literature contains many examples where the term "prediction" or "predictor" is used in a misleading manner, though not often so dramatically.

Thoughtful commentary by Jeff Henderson MDPhD on the mechanism by which the early administration of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) reduces post-COVID conditions: early reduction in inflammation may translate into reduced inflammation later. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…

We want to congratulate Katalin Karikó (Katalin Kariko) and Drew Weissman (The Drew Weissman Lab) today for winning the 2023 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine! Check out their work in JBC cited by the Nobel Committee: ow.ly/i1oF50PRV4b
