The retrovirus conference, #CROI will be held virtually due to increasing concerns that travel to a large group gathering is not advisable from a personal and public health perspective. A sound decision by smart infectious disease experts. #COVID19

The ‘London Patient,’ only the second person to be cured of H.I.V., steps forward to tell his story. Truly stirring, and a fantastic scoop by Apoorva Mandavilli nyti.ms/39Bn68S

#CROI puts up its webcast in #COVID19 to the public. Thank you, this is great! An amazing session to learn about this virus and the what the scientific community is doing in response. special.croi.capitalreach.com

Due to #SARSCoV2 we have decided to cancel the 2020 #HIV Mucosal Systems Meeting. We believe this is the right decision given the circumstances. We thank our colleagues, trainees and community for contributing to this meeting and look forward to seeing all of you in 2021.

All great ideas (comments too) & not only for graduate students, but also post docs and junior faculty!

Best put by our chair, Luisa Arispe, “change isn’t passive, it’s intentional, it requires purpose and perseverance”. CDB_NU fully supports #BLM and today we’re stepping away from science to reflect on how we can make meaningful changes to support this movement in STEM #ShutDownSTEM

This week, Shoaib, virtually presented his recent research on early cellular targets of SIV infection at AIDS2020! Social-distancing science at its best! #AIDS2020Virtual #sciencefromhome #Science

Join me as I describe ongoing work in HIV and efforts to adapt these approaches in overcoming #SARS-CoV2. Strategies combining science, technology, and public health initiatives in managing global pandemics will be discussed. #coronavirus event.on24.com/wcc/r/2556125/… soctwTomHope

PET/CT targeted tissue sampling reveals virus specific dIgA can alter the distribution and localization of HIV after rectal exposure biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Happy New Year, everyone! Please check out our newest preprint on bioRxiv bioRxiv Cell Biology on PET/CT targeted tissue sampling reveals virus-specific dIgA can alter the distribution and localization of HIV after rectal exposure! Thomas Hope @AnnMarieCarias #PET_CT #HIV

To memorialize Timothy Ray Brown’s life and #hivcure advocacy, they are launching an online fundraising campaign to fund a boulder in the AIDS Memorial Grove and a bench & plaque in The Wellness Center/Ruth Hardy Park in Palm Springs. Donate here: bit.ly/2YRqR65

A recent publication from Department of Cell & Developmental Biology's Thomas Hope, Laboratory of Dr. Thomas Hope - NU_CDB, NU_FSM, @forevertheuni on A New Generation of Functional Tagged Proteins for HIV Fluorescence Imaging in MDPI Viruses! Check it out! #Science #HIV doi.org/10.3390/v13030…

Roslyn Taylor, Laboratory of Dr. Thomas Hope - NU_CDB, NU_FSM and colleagues Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine use multiple imaging techniques to determine how #HIV travels throughout the colon once introduced into the body and how dIgA influences HIV movement in the rectum. buff.ly/2Ts0RPm

Thank you, Tahmina Sultana from Laboratory of Dr. Thomas Hope - NU_CDB, NU_FSM, for sharing your “Why I Got Vaccinated” story! “As a medical researcher, as a virologist, I think it’s very important to use all the miracles of medical science.” Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine #VaccinesWork youtu.be/ZaWhHBj5s2s

We are excited to finally get this out! Check out our publication on how Abs get to the vaginal vault! HINT: It takes ~1wk for IgG saturation of squamous tissues. Also, it's in a two-step phase: convective extravasation followed by epithelial differentiation!

Another day in the Hope Lab, another day of spinning mucus balls from Mark Becker #Science #SoCool

Fresh off the press from our Lab! Check it out! First author from Pat Madden with Sheepskin Shoaib Mark Becker @AnnMarieCarias Thomas Hope describing a crazy, cool probe to detect sites of #SARSCoV2 infection! #Science
