"Together, our findings indicate that BQ and XBB subvariants present serious threats to current COVID-19 vaccines, render inactive all authorized antibodies, and may have gained dominance in the population because of their advantage in evading antibodies." cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Single #cancer cells separate from their #tumour and dissipate via the bloodstream. Early #detection can help physicians to intervene in time. Check out this article and learn more about Stavros Stavrakis' (deMello Group ) promising #diagnostic method: ethz.ch/en/industry/in…

Over the last several months the Molecular Medicine laboratory recruited PhD students Jiaxuan Fan Jess Cressida Harvey Cressida Harvey Amit Santhu Amit santhu and Master student Jannes Brender. Welcome aboard!! 👏D-CHAB Life Science Zurich

Where are the cellular entry points of viruses that could be targets for future #therapies ? Yohei Yamauchi Yohei Yamauchi , new Professor of Molecular Medicine D-CHAB is hot on the heels of #influenza - & #coronaviruses. Check out the video & article! chab.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

I highly recommend taking a look at "Catching the (viral) burglar", an engaging interview article written by Julia Ecker that effectively summarizes our research. chab.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev… D-CHAB

We are recruiting a permanent Technician in Cellular and Molecular Biology #MolecularMedicineLab at ETH Zürich jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_… yamauchilab.com

Life beyond the Pixels was a fantastic talk given by computational biologist Peter Horvath Peter Horvath BRC Biochem for the IPW seminar series hosted by Yohei Y. #AI #singlecell #MolecularMedicineLab D-CHAB Thanks Peter for your visit to ETH!!

A productive visit to EMBL Imaging Centre

I was lucky to guest edit a Special Feature: Virus Microscopy for the journal Microscopy. Review by S. Padilla-Parra (HIV-1 transmission); T. Noda (filovirus structure); Christian Sieben orthohantavirus imaging); U. Greber (label-free microscopy). See issue 👉 academic.oup.com/jmicro/issue/7…

We had a great annual #IPW institute BBQ in the ETH Hönggerberg forest!!

This works comes from a fantastic collaboration with Yohei Yamauchi at D-CHAB and Patrick Matthias at FMI science on understanding the role of branched Ub chains in viral infections. For this we need homogenous Ub chains to reconstitute the machinery that uncoats viral capsids.

now it is time for the next Inaugural Lecture, by Yohei Yamauchi, Yohei Yamauchi, Roger Schibli gives the introduction

Now we are off to a new universe - the universe of viruses. Yohei Yamauchi Yohei Yamauchi giving his inaugural lecture on “Decoding Virus Entry” enlightening the cell biology of virus entry.

a nice analogy on how viruses can enter the human body by Yohei Yamauchi, discovered during a hike in southern Switzerland

And here we go - this is how the entry of the influenza virus looks like. But the virus has even more stunning tricks - it uses, for instance, the host cell's waste disposal system to break down its capsid as Yamauchi Yohei Yamauchi explains.

Yamauchi Yohei Yamauchi presenting his #SARS -CoV-2 co-receptor study which was EU project of the month in Autumn 2020 and his more recent research on virus-inspired protein cages for cellular uptake to facilitate payload delivery in cells.

On Oct 25, Kjell Jorner's Kjell Jorner Digital Chemistry Laboratory & Yohei Yamauchi's Yohei Yamauchi inaugural lectures took place in the Auditorium Maximum ETH Zurich . In case you missed the event, check out the video recording 👇 video.ethz.ch/speakers/lectu…
