New preprint out! With the Sabino lab in Brazil, we detail the association of YF disease severity with serum levels of viral NS1 protein and syndecan-1 - providing insight into the role of NS1 in YFV pathogenesis led by Francie and Colin in the lab doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Excited to announce that our Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology Division at the School of Public Health, together with the Integrative Biology Department, are hiring an Assistant Professor in Emerging Zoonoses! Please share widely! aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04076

We are searching for researchers in Molecular Epidemiology and Pathogen Genomics to join our amazing Community at the Division of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology at the School of Public Health @UCBerkeleySPH! Please spread the word and apply! aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04071

This award is life changing 💫 I'm SO GRATEFUL to be one of the 2023 #HannaGrayFellows! I'll be able to pursue my "Plan A" career and science dreams. I'm excited to learn more about how our immune system fights emerging viruses, connect with communities, and grow in science🙏🥼🔬

Thanks for this feature @UCBerkeleySPH I'm looking forward to building my science within this community of scholars who are so very committed to improving global and public health 🙌 publichealth.berkeley.edu/news-media/sch…

Congrats to our postdoctoral scholar Tulika Singh, PhD, MPH! She is an accomplished, intelligent, and innovative young scientist, who is also committed to societal equity and global public health. I'm thrilled she is on our team both @UCBerkeleySPH and in Nicaragua Sustainable Sciences Institute!

We have extended the deadline for our search to fill the Assistant Professor position in Pathogen Genomics until November 5th, 11:59 PM PT. Please spread the word to promising candidates! For more info, incl. on the salary scale, please read the FAQ: bit.ly/492pjt9.

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…

The Biering Lab at UCSD is now hiring! Lab Manager: employment.ucsd.edu/lab-assistant-… Lab Technician: employment.ucsd.edu/sra-1-126961/j… Postdocs and grad students should also reach out for more info! Learn more here: bieringlab.biosci.ucsd.edu Please repost UCSD BioSciences UC San Diego #NewPI

Super psyched that we have Eva Harris Eva Harris talking about her teams latest findings NEXT THURSDAY. Eva's team undertakes some truly inspiring research in the dengue/zika field. Sure to be a good one; all welcome! Please help us with a RT :-)

This study is now peer-reviewed and published in PLOS NTDs! Read more about post-acute manifestations following CHIKV infections here: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Excited to share our latest preprint led by Sandra Bos @LuciusLeVirus & José Victor Zambrana, MPH, which uncovers the contribution of inapparent primary DENV infections to the epidemiological patterns and the spectrum of infection outcomes for each serotype. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Marcus Wong 黃子穎 on this wonderful study suggesting that host inflammatory responses to DENV NS1 may be protective as well as pathogenic. @russellevance Eva Harris dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Happy to share our preprint on CCHFV GP38, a secreted protein that can induce vascular leak and can be targeted by antibodies to prevent leak and viral spread. Great collaboration with Stephanie Monticelli et al (USMRIID), Jason McLellan & Kartik Chandran. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new seroepidemiological study, led by me, Rosie Aogo, PhD, Chloe Hasund & Eva Harris, shows that prior zika exposure can elevate #dengue risk caused by DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4, but not DENV1. #ZIKV vaccines must be developed and implemented carefully. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our latest publication, led by graduate student Reinaldo Mercado-Hernandez, investigates the association of obesity with dengue virus infection and disease in Nicaragua doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

We are looking for a Scientific Coordinator for our work in Nicaragua through the Sustainable Sciences Institute. Please spread the word and apply using this link: forms.gle/3rHw6aXrr6GBiv…

Find out about our newest collaborative study on the capacity of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus protein GP38 to induce vascular leak here science.org/doi/full/10.11…

The viral glycoprotein GP38 is a toxin in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (#CCHFV) that exacerbates vascular leak and viral dissemination, but can be targeted with an antibody to combat infection in mice. Felix Pahmeier Eva Harris @UCBerkeleySPH scim.ag/3QyN2cd
