New paper from the lab showing how bacteria can teach us a thing or two about antiviral immunity! Congrats Aaron on a great story! #PLOSPathogens: Exploiting bacterial effector proteins to uncover evolutionarily conserved antiviral host mac ... dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Congrats to our very own "Dr." Dahee Seo on receiving her PhD yesterday! We are all very proud of you! #UTSW

Nice write-up about our new collaborative paper with Neal Alto ! #UTSW Good things happen when virologists and bacteriologists get together! Press release: swlxwsvauthprd1edu.swmed.edu/newsroom/artic… Paper: journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Looking forward to attending the Innate Immunity in host-pathogen interactions" meeting today EMBL #EESImmunity Good luck to Aaron and Emily Rex who are presenting the Gammon Lab's work on bacterial effectors and the newly discovered FEAR pathway!

Just heard a fantastic talk by Rechel Geiger Fred Hutch Cancer Center from Harmit S. Malik and Michael Emerman labs on antiviral gene evolution! #EESImmunity

Congrats to Emily Rex @UTSW on her great talk discussing newly discovered viral inhibitors of the FEAR pathway! Way to make @Gammonlab proud! #EESImmunity

Just finished a great meeting in Heidelberg on Innate Immunity in Host-Pathogen Interactions! Great job by Aaron on presenting our work on how bacterial effectors can break virus restriction! #EESImmunity

Good luck to Don presenting at #ASV2024 on Tuesday, June 25 in the Poxvirus Workshop (W18-2)! He will be presenting work from our post-doc Dahee Seo in the Gammon Lab on how poxvirus A51R proteins inhibit a cell-intrinsic immune response in macrophages!

Great fun with @Gammonlab and Xinyun (Sherry) Cao lab teaming up at Micro “Faculty Feud”! Proud of everyone for bringing home the championship belt! #UTSW

Congrats to Dahee on her new paper from Gammon Lab #UTSW showing Pox A51R proteins regulate microtubule-dependent transport by Kinesin-1 motors! Thanks to Kristen Verhey for the nice collaboration! mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/1…

My review about “The HIV-1 transcriptional program” for the Journal of Molecular Biology special issue on transcription elongation is now out: doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.…. I provide a 4 decades historical recount from mechanistic insights to implications for viral latency and cure. Thanks @NIAID!

Good times at Medieval Times with Gammon Lab and friends! And if anyone was wondering, yes, the red knight did go down...

What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

Congrats to our STARS student Daniel Deng on a fantastic summer of research! Clearly a rising star! We hope to see him back next year! Thanks to Aaron for mentoring Daniel!

Come be my colleague! I've been very, very happy at UTSW Micro. Supportive environment. Strong ambition. Strong empathy. Excellent resources. Check out Julie's thread for some statistics, financial incentives, and (bonus) grant-writing tips!

New preprint from the Gammon Lab UT Southwestern Medical Center describing the activation and evasion of the FEAR Pathway by RNA Viruses. Viruses still teaching us new tricks! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Good luck to Don at UC Davis where he will present our lab's work on the newly-discovered FEAR pathway! health.ucdavis.edu/medmicro/calen…

New preprint from Gammon Lab UT Southwestern Medical Center where bacterial effectors reveal a role for mammalian RNF214 proteins in antiviral immunity in bats and humans! Great collab with the Alto Lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Earlier this week, Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of $TNXP, presented data on the Company's potential #mpox vaccine at the UT Southwestern Medical Center Symposium Microbiology Seminar Series, held in Dallas, Tex. The presentation, titled “Resurrecting Dr. Edward Jenner’s 1798

Our new manuscript is out in PLOS Pathogens ! We used bacterial effector proteins as tools to fish out host RNF214 proteins as novel antiviral factors. Congrats Aaron on another great story! journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…
