After 2 delayed flights I've made it to Madison for #ASV2022 can't wait to share my research at my first conference 🥳

Join us tonight at W25 - Innate Immunity II: Effector functions. We will be convening from 7:00-8:30pm in Ballroom C. #ASV2022

So excited to be attending #ASV2022! Couldn’t have a better group of mentors Jacob Yount Ashley Zani Parker J. Denz. If you are interested in innate immunity or SARS-CoV-2, stop by P24-2 tonight.

A great group of OSU/Nationwide Children’s colleagues at #ASV2022 !!🦠🔬🧫

My usual reminder that mBio publishes Minireviews on topics in microbiology or infection immunology. Email me if you have an idea. Here’s a great new example on temp in RNA virus infections. #SupportSocietyJournals journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Huge round of applause for MI&I’s Dr. Jacob Yount who received the 2022 Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award from College of Medicine’s Center for Faculty Advancement, Mentoring, and Engagement. Well-deserved recognition! #MIIproud Jacob Yount

Happy to be part of this team! MI&I🤎🍂 #2022Departmentalretreat #ohiostate

Fantastic OSU Virus-Host Interactions seminar this morning by Anice Lowen on factors affecting influenza virus reassortment. Also showed that this year's flu season started early and looks like it may be a whopper. Get your flu shot!

Wishing strength for all of the PhD students of the world this holiday szn, as we prepare to see family and get asked those 9 special words “How much longer do you have left in school?” I see you & I love you

Thanks Chris Brooke for a fantastic visit and seminar yesterday hosted by the students of the Ohio Virology Association. Amazing 3D lung images!

Thank you to the ICIS for this amazing award! It's an incredible honor to have been nominated by such an exceptionally talented group of faculty and students. I can't believe I get an award for working with such amazing people! #grateful

Love is love! MI&I community and DEI committee are celebrating all of the beautiful identities of our #LGBTQ+ community. We are here. We are visible. We are proud! #OSU #MII

Join me today at 2:30 in Athena E to hear about how IFITM3 deficiencies can facilitate new pandemic virus emergence. Some of the most important and fundamental work to ever come out of my lab. Experiments by Parker J. Denz #ASV2023

🚨Two fundamental discoveries relevant to emergence of pandemic viruses in our new preprint: 1) IFITM3 controls the minimum infectious dose of influenza virus, 2) IFITM3 deficiency promotes interspecies adaptation of flu (broad IFN deficiency did not)🦠😷🤒biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So proud of the great talks that Parker J. Denz and Sam Speaks gave at the Autumn Immunology Conference conference this weekend! Also great to see lab alum Adam Kenney there too!

🚨🚨New work from Adriana Forero’s lab Dr. Adriana Forero showing a role for ERK5 in promoting STAT1 phosphorylation in type III interferon signaling. 🧫🧬🔬biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#ASV2024 is a GOOOOOOOOOO! Thanks to our ASV pres (Anne Moscona), local host Shan-Lu Liu, ASV staff, ASV council, Conference Solutions, Sponsors, and all the speakers, volunteers, vendors, and attendees that made the meeting possible! It's going to be a great week of virology!

Excited to give my talk at ASV 2024! See you tomorrow! American Society for Virology #ASV2024

Happy #Halloween from MII :) #OSU #MII

🚨🚨 Our latest paper shows that IFITM3 deficiency lowers the minimum virus dose threshold for influenza and also enhances adaptation of the virus to a new species.🦠🫁 Major implications for preventing new pandemics. 😷 First author Parker J. Denz 👨‍🔬nature.com/articles/s4146…
