In new study led by Andrea Loes, we develop sequencing-based neutralization assay that measures replicate curves for hundreds of virus-serum pairs per 96-well plate (see image below)

We apply assay to characterize response to repeat influenza vaccination

We are excited to host the first lecture of the British NetSci Symposium in our London campus!@NortheasternLDN Vittoria Colizza

Settled in for our St. Jude Research faculty retreat with keynote speaker Russ Altman! Looking forward to the day #StJudeGrowingScience

For anyone (like me) who is having trouble keeping track, below is a schematic showing the spike amino-acid mutations relative to Wuhan-Hu-1 in the SARS-CoV-2 variants BA.2, XBB.1.5, JN.1, and BA.2.87.1.

Had a great week at the First Andean School for Host Pathogen interactions. Learned a lot and had many productive conversations

Oggi La Stampa pubblica un editoriale del Professor Alessandro Vespignani Alessandro Vespignani sul nuovo piano pandemico

Looking forward to visiting University of St Andrews and talking about Bayesian nonparametrics!

Nice solution to an important problem 👇

CoV-19 status check from WHO as we enter year 5 post-emergence.

This paper was done in collaboration with Katie Anderson Isabel Rodriguez Henrik Salje Derek Cummings and more. The original preprint version of this work can be found medrxiv.org/content/10.110… (8/8) @EPPIcenter at UCSF @PDGCambridge UF IDDynamics WRAIR

Most studies focus on pediatric cohorts, but with the average age of infection increasing in dengue endemic settings adults remain understudied. Here we analyze a multi-generational household cohort in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand that incorporates this population (2/8)

Excited to announce that our paper on the impact of household immunity and composition on an individual's risk of #dengue infection is out now nature.com/articles/s4156… (1/8)

New work from Shi Cen on questions I've long wondered about: how accurately can we locate recombination breakpoints and how do we best partition sequence alignments for phylogenetic analysis based on identified breakpoints? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sharing our pre-print: Primary exposure to Zika virus increases risk of symptomatic dengue virus infection with serotypes 2, 3, and 4 but not serotype 1 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today we had some of the final presentations for the network science class Brennan Klein and I taught with Albert-László Barabási. It is inspiring seeing first year PhD students at Network Science Institute come up with very cool projects. Take a look 👇

Come join an exciting effort to perform extensive longitudinal BCR & TCR repertoire sequencing on valuable samples from tumors, blood disorders, and infectious diseases. Novel experimental & computational approaches will 'decode' adaptive immunity in these patients (2/2)

We are recruiting a senior scientist for our new initiative for large scale repertoire sequencing of clinical samples (TIRTL, Tracking the Immune Repertoire of Tumor Lymphocytes). Please apply and/or share with anyone you think might be interested! stjude.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/stjude/job/mem… (1/2)

🚨 Network Science Cluster Hiring 🚨
The Network Science Institute (Network Science Institute) is launching an ambitious expansion at its newest research hub at the Roux Institute at Northeastern in Portland (Maine).

Come join us at Northeastern U.!
