🚨 #PhD #Opportunity We will be hiring a PhD student. #LZCI Information about our work: banerjeelab.ca Interested candidates: apply using the email information on our webpage. Send: (1) resume (2) a one page letter of motivation to join the Lab Please repost.

🚨Our new study out today in Nature Communications. Bats can asymptomatically host multiple viruses while remaining apparently healthy. Here we identify how interferon-mediated responses protect bats and identify molecular adaptations in GBP1. Link: nature.com/articles/s4146…

🚨Second study from the lab. Cell Reports SARS-CoV- and SARS-CoV-2-like viruses are found in insectivorous bats, but the antiviral responses in these bats remain less studied. Here we show how bat cells respond to SARS-CoV-2 and shed light on virus entry. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

🚨 New publication out today. Bats are over 1480 species. In this latest article, we discuss the diversity within bats and their immune systems. Elegantly led by the Becker and Frank laboratories. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny…
