Another day of Microbiology Society Annual Conference #Microbio25, another wonderful poster, from Elly.Gaunt_lab 💙 PhD student How U Wei Chook! Amazing work on novel ORFs in rotavirus! Go chat to him at poster 045 in the Virus Forum section! You will not be disappointed

Aaaaand we're back with talks, with a very interesting chat on dinucleotide biases in IAV by fantastic PhD student Ananya Hoque from Elly.Gaunt_lab 💙 at #Microbio25 at the Virosphere Forum. Truly awesome stuff🔥🔥

We follow up with an INSANE presentation from #DigardianoftheGalaxy Shu Zhou, showing us how it is possible to engineer IAV splicing in Segment 7, and what this might mean for orthomyxo evolution! Truly awesome sights at #Microbio25

Once again, Wilhelm Furnon has very nicely delivered our study about the phenotypic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 spike. Well done mate! #microbio25

You thought we were done here? Think again. Incredible presentation by Grey lab PhD student Vayalena Drampa, on CRISPR screens to identify IAV restriction factors in pigs #Microbio25 keeps delivering fantastic science

Dulcis in fundo, last of the Roslin talks, Rute Maria Pinto delivers a masterful presentation on mooflu and why IAV seems to have taken a liking to cows. #Microbio25 has given has an awesome time and beautiful science!

And with this, the chronicles of The Roslin Institute at Microbiology Society #Microbio25 are over. It was a blast, we truly enjoyed it. See you next time, peace out!

Can flu spread to another cell without ever exiting the first one? Yes! Through little tunnels (TNTs) that form between cells! Check out Daniel's exciting paper and beautifully animated thread below to find out more!!! 🔬🔬🧫🧫

So this thing happened. I kinda went and got another title. So I guess that if you're looking for a coronavirologist with both wet and dry lab experience, just hmu. I'd be happy to contribute.

what I did not realise was that the eco health alliance actually was shut down. An organisation doing excellent research for 50 years, closed because of retaliatory action on unproven " crimes". of course there are always issues to improve, but I think this should serve as ..

Yo! I will give a talk at ASV 2025 this coming Thursday, be there or be ⬛!

Ok, heere we go! The The Roslin Institute scientists are BACK at it again at American Society for Virology annual conference 2025 with a masterful talk from Christine Tait-Burkard on FCoV-23 emergence in Cyprus. Oh, did I mention she got 2(!) Nature papers from this? Truly awesome stuff #asv2025

Following up, fantastic presentation from our very own Andrew John Hanton ✊🏻🇺🇦 on the development of an siRNA library to identify CoV host-pathogen interactions! So clear, so good, The Roslin Institute keeps delivering! #asv2025

Next up! Absolutely phenomenal postdoc Rose Blake from @thegraylab at the The Roslin Institute working on CRISPR screens to identify IAV host-dependency factors. Beautifully explained and heaps of data🔥 #asv2025

Not from the roslin institute, but phenomenal UK based scientist nonetheless, Rachael Dempsey from the TheHiscoxLab at University of Liverpool. So cool to see some UK-based MERS-CoV Spike characterisation. So so good! #asv2025

We almost finish off with...me. It was a blast to present my PhD work at #asv2025. Thankful to American Society for Virology for this opportunity. Now time to chill but if you were there and you enjoyed my talk just hmu I promise I'm funny.

We just concluded the final ECR day from the UK-ICN ECR sector of the UK-ICN. It was a great day full of fantastic science, great talks and a very insightful career panel at the end. Thanks to all the speakers and currently ready for the AGM on the next couple days!
