Very happy to have played a minor role in one of the two back to back papers in Science showing that Neuropilin-1 facilitates SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. They provide a molecular pathway to understand its neurotropism and a new therapeutic avenue. science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

New pre-print out of Giger Lab @ U of M ! This work was a serious team effort. Special shoutout to my 3 other co-first authors, Choya Yoon, Lucas Huffman & Patrick Duncker. If you're interested in #neuroinflammation check this out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally years of hard work from the Giger Lab @ U of M comes to fruition! So honored to have worked with everyone involved, shout out to @CurrenAshley for keeping all of us and all the data together!

Pre-print from our collaboration with our old colleagues in the Giger Lab @ U of M! I didn’t work on this project directly, but I got to see a lot of the hard work that went into this publication and it’s progression in our joint lab meetings. Congrats, everyone!

We are so excited to share our pre-print! We thank all the wonderful people who made this possible including Choya Yoon, Lucas Huffman @CurrenAshley, Patrick Duncker, and many more! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another excellent paper out of Dr. Benjamin Segal with collaboration from Giger Lab @ U of M . It was amazing watching this story grow from the beginning and I enjoyed having a small part in helping this come together. nature.com/articles/s4159…
