Congrats to Drs. Scott Weaver & Nikos Vasilakis on a new Fogarty at NIH International Training Research Grant Award. Their new program will advance emerging disease research through multidisciplinary scientific & public health training for scientists at West African institutions.

We are looking to expand our work on #SARSCoV2 and #COVID19. Projects include both virus-oriented & host-oriented studies. See job ad for post-doctoral fellows: bit.ly/3xiZXoM Or research associates: bit.ly/3tr7TDb Contact PI for further information.

Excited to present my work on dengue and yellow fever at American Society for Virology conference in Madison! My poster will be up on July 17th (Exhibit Hall B, P6) and I will be available for discussion from 8:30-10:00pm! Looking forward to meeting fellow virologists!

UTMB Health past & present at #ASV2022 With close to 2% of the 1600+ attendees, it is clear our virologists will keep shaping the field now and well into the future.

I am thrilled to share that my K99 application has been funded by NIAID!! I am excited to continue my studies on host and viral factors affecting the transmission of arboviruses, and to have the opportunity to start my own lab.

At Nature Communications, we showed the kinetics of the humoral response to homologous or heterologous COVID-19 vaccines in Syrian hamsters for up to 9 months.💉🦠🐹 Led by Rafael Machado and a great team!!!
