Amazing talk at #microbio22 by Rute Maria Pinto 🎉🎉

Listening to Bonnie Bassler... Such awesome science allied to such a healthy and positive way to approach it... I'm flabbergasted! I would be here all evening... Massive congratulations! Incredibly well deserved prize!! #Microbio22

Wanna know how to identify parameters that determine disease severity? Vanessa Herder from MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research is the one to ask... Right now, life from the Viral Pathogenesis Workshop!! #Microbio22 Microbiology Society

Do you know who rules? Giuditta De Lorenzo!! The Zika vaccine mouse transmission lady. What a cool talk! MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research #Microbio22

Very excited to host Dr Meredith Stewart Meredith Stewart , MRC-Uni of Glasgow CVR, Monday 1pm for her talk: 'Drugs, Resistance & SARS-CoV-2' You can join us - Zoom details in thread, all welcome, pls RT 🥳 Our Virology seminar series The Roslin Institute is partly funded by UK-ICN 🍻

Good to see the Flu-MAP consortium formally announced! bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Very happy to see this publication from Gracjan Michlewski's lab out! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Please share with your networks! My lab is recruiting a research technician to help us in our quest to understand monstrously large antiviral E3s. my.corehr.com/pls/uogrecruit… Close date 10 August. Salary 22k-27k, funded until Jan ‘25.

Roslin is recruiting a Prof of Virology!!!! Please share far and wide!!! Would suit PI working on livestock viruses. Reasons why Roslin is awesome in thread. Job link here: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

In a new paper led by Anna Sims, we find that influenza infections divide your throat into tiny territories, and ask: why don’t these viruses want to be friends? Paper doi.org/10.1371/journa… Commentary doi.org/10.1371/journa… A 🧵

1/14 Our latest paper, where we demonstrate utility of CpG enrichment for augmentation of live attenuated influenza A virus (IAV) vaccines, is now published. T'was a labour of love, and a journey exploring the good, bad and ugly of the publishing world. journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

There we go, poster is up at #Nido2023 @NIDO2023! Interested in hearing more about SCV2 spike variants using recombinant live viruses and associated phenotypes + virulence? Come along for a chat! Vanessa Cowton (not on Twitter) and myself will be happy to tell you more

This work was led by Rute Maria Pinto, with notable contributions from Sid, Spyros Lytras , Khalid Zakaria and many others at the MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (especially our long-term collaborator Massimo Palmarini).

A team of international scientists has discovered a key human gene that blocks the spillover of avian flu into people.🔬🦠 Led by researchers at MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, the breakthrough study is published in nature and is predominantly funded by the Medical Research Council.
