Our lab is hosting another wonderful seminar on “The Evolutionary Paradox of Host-Virus Interactions” from Dr. Tzachi Hagai next Friday 6/17. Join! 🤗

Not sure if someone took a picture of me but here is Michel Tassetto presenting his work on RNA-based adaptive (!) immunity in 🦟. Loved this project 2 years ago when Raul presented it in Moscow 🥲💙 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Tomorrow! 😊

Free Cell Press webinar, New frontiers in #respiratory #viruses: from infection, host response to treatment, speakers Félix Rey Institut Pasteur, since 1887, Michaela Gack Cleveland Clinic Florida & Raul Andino UC San Francisco July 26 at 12 pm ET #CPWebinars hubs.li/Q01grct-0

Read our new paper! 😎 Magnitude and determinants of SARS-CoV-2 household transmission: a longitudinal cohort study. Charles Chiu CDC Michael Peluso, MD Miguel García Knight 💙 doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

We are at #ASV2022! 😄 #LoveVirology

With polio in the news (and the wastewater) I'm thinking about Raul Andino UC San Francisco & Andrew Macadam of @NIBSC_MHRA. With support from Gates Foundation created the first new oral polio vaccine in 50 years, to end ending vaccine-derived #poliovirus. npr.org/2022/04/15/109…

After being eradicated from the US nearly 50 years ago, how the hell is polio back? For The Guardian I look at the perfect storm of of virus mutations and anti-vaccine messaging that led to the current outbreak. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/a…

Our programmatic opinion is finally out. We believe aging is an adaptation evolved to control epidemics. We also stress problems of other hypotheses of aging. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Brilliant article detailing the impact of new polio vaccine developed by our long time collaborator Andino Lab - UCSF: 20+ years of basic science was used to design a safe vaccine now given to 450 million people. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

These researchers present longitudinal data on the magnitude, duration and decay rate of viral RNA and the magnitude and duration of infectious virus in nasal specimens from vaccinated and unvaccinated participants. Read their article here: plos.io/3BRm0GC

Congratulations Jibin Sadasivan Arabinda Nayak Marli Vlok, Amy Wang & Raul Andino UC San Francisco. Just out PLOS Pathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Great collaborative project with Chien-Ting on SARS-CoV-2 replication in nasal epithelial cells is finally out! Probably the most exciting discoveries we made during last crazy 3 years. . sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

David (Ming Te) is moving to Osaka University, Japan and will be setting up new Andino lab there. Thank you for all your work at UCSF and good luck in Japan, David!!

Evolution of aging, semelparity to transmissible cancers. An interesting and fun conversation with Peter Lidsky about the 'pathogen control strategy' to explain aging. Now available to watch --> youtu.be/eXvgSimumxQ #scicomm #AcademicYouTube #aging
