Happy to have finalized this small project. github.com/jonas-fuchs/BA… Create interactive coverage plots from your mapped viral read and usefull tracks such as genbank files.

Our next seminar is coming closer! Join us on Weds 29th Nov @ 17:00 The Francis Crick Institute . Our speakers will be @aizepellon from King's College London & Daniel Schnepf from The Francis Crick Institute , providing insights into fungal & viral infections respectively! To register: shorturl.at/cgiW9

Just updated virHEAT (github.com/jonas-fuchs/vi…) to version 0.6 (conda and pip). Let's you visualize microbial evolution at the snp level as a heatmap. Now you can restrict the plot to specific genomic regions with --zoom. SARS-COV-2 example: #SARSCoV2 #Bioinformatics

It's happening next Wednesday! Our next #LIPNseminar! @aizepellon and Daniel Schnepf will share their science with us! Come for the talks, stay for the social! We're looking forward to seeing you The Francis Crick Institute ! Don't forget to register: shorturl.at/aeqs4 Please RT!

Thanks to everyone for attending last night's seminar! Great to see you there! Special thanks to @aizepellon and Daniel Schnepf for 2 brilliant talks! We hope to see you all again at the next installment of our seminar series! Also: Stay tuned for updates on our 2024 symposium!

Very nice conversation indeed! Very much enjoying the #LSC2024 so far! ERS

Really great #LSC2024 Lung Science Conference ERS ! Thanks to all organisers, presenters and helping hands! Was great meeting all the RESPIRE MSCA peers! Had a great time in Estoril :)

Our Journal of Experimental Medicine article has just been published! 🥳 We identified two patients who presented with severe necrotising wounds along with a collection of other inflammatory symptoms which made the clinical teams suspect an #inborn_error_of_immunity 1/many rupress.org/jem/article-ab…

The spread of the #H5N1 avian #influenza virus („bird flu“) in cows in the USA is very unusual and worrisome. Martin Beer Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut heads one of the very few BSL-3 labs permitting the study of viruses in such large animals. Very interesting article in Science Magazine ⬇️

We're kicking off the day with our plenary talk by Ash Otter about his work at UK Health Security Agency.

Not to be missed! Our next #globalimmuno talk, today Wednesday, September 25th at 9am PST, noon EST, 4pm GMT by Dr. Andreas Wack. Title: “Lung infections, interferons, macrophages: The good, the bad and the unexpected” LINK: ucsd.zoom.us/j/91053505061

Now open! Incl an IgA nephropathy project in my group. We will fill in gaps in pathogenesis, aiming to better match new/upcoming drugs to each patient, and to find angles for next generation of treatments to remedy. Please get in touch if you want more info.

Really great review! Given the complexity of the immune system, it is absolutely vital to use more physiological animal models, better resembling the human counterpart, to improve robustness and increase meaningful impact in biomedical research.
