Virology—The next fifty years cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Very pleased to have been able to present my work at my first Options XII for the Control of Influenza conference in Brisbane, Australia! It’s been an amazing time of meeting old and new colleagues and discussing incredible science 🦠 spot the koala 😉🐨 #influenza Options2024

There is still time to apply! Associate professor, immunity/inflammation/infection (defined broadly) especially welcome Come and join a great community of supportive colleagues! Deadline 25 October, please spread the word path.ox.ac.uk/vacancy/associ…

Very proud of our latest preprint - using single-molecule assays to explore SARS-CoV-2 replication and inhibition. Thanks to all awesome co-authors Dani Groves Andrew McMahon Haitian Fan Jeremy Keown Fodor Laboratory Read it here: doi.org/10.1101/2024.1…

There is nothing more scary than a pumpkinfluenza! Rescued by Fodor Laboratory graduate student not-on-X Tom Shimkus.

The abstract submission for the Annual Meeting of the Society for Virology (GfV, GfV - Gesellschaft für Virologie) is open till 1 December 2024! GfV is officially affiliated with our Journal of General Virology (#JGenVirol).Don't miss the opportunity to share your research! microb.io/3NMmClQ

An image representing our work made the cover of Biophysical Reports! If you're interested check out the paper at cell.com/biophysreports…. Thanks again to everyone involved Hutchinson Lab Swetha Vijayakrishnan Dani Groves Hafez El Sayyed and not-on-X Andrew McMahon :)

Just published—avian origin and pandemic PB1 genes from influenza A viruses influence replication and pathogenesis in an avian influenza viirus. Happy for this story to be out and thank you to my co-authors 🦠 #influenza #virology #womeninSTEM science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our paper in EMBO J. on the Nipah virus polymerase !!🦠✨🦇 Using cryo-EM & X-ray, we uncover key roles for the L-protein's Connecting-domain in supporting the PRNTase-domain's capping activity #CryoEM #Nipah #Virology #StructuralBiology embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Interested in joining our growing interdisciplinary team studying viruses, RNA, and condensates? Looking for a postdoctoral position? Please consider joining us in Cambridge, UK, or drop us a line to discuss these opportunities: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49901/

What's going on with bird flu in the UK at the moment? I wrote a piece for The Conversation explaining what we know at the moment, and why it's not (yet) time to worry theconversation.com/bird-flu-cases…

Virologist Wendy Barclay: ‘Wild avian viruses are mixing up their genetics all the time. It’s like viral sex on steroids’ Always worth listening to ⁦wendybarclay⁩ ⁦Imperial College London⁩ theguardian.com/science/2025/f…

Are you thinking of starting work on influenza for the first time because of... reasons? Or does your lab train people to work on flu? With Maria Amorim and Yohei Yamauchi, we've written a chapter specifically on getting up to speed on flu ... (1/2) link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

Decoding viruses. Defying limits. 🦠🔍 Prof wendybarclay has dedicated her career to unpicking viral mysteries. Now, she's been appointed Regius Professor—the first woman to hold the prestigious title at Imperial College London ⤵️ #WomenInSTEM imperial.ac.uk/Stories/Wendy-…

Very concerning to see a second introduction of H5N1 I to dairy cattle. It’s been reported to be from the D1.1 genotype which is widely circulating in birds in North America. It will be critical to examine the sequences for signs of host adaptation 🦠🐄 statnews.com/2025/02/05/usd…

Europe needs a sustainably funded influenza research and response network - especially in the light of H5N1 and current developments in the US. Read our commentary in The Lancet ID: thelancet.com/journals/lanin… With wendybarclay, Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl and many other colleagues.

📢 Exciting job opportunities!📢 Two postdoc positions are available in our lab at Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social) to study influenza virus transcription, genome replication, nuclear export and assembly. More info: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

There is still time to apply; join our team to work on influenza virus replication mechanisms!

🚨🔎 Out now in PLOS Pathogens! 🔎🚨 This project has taken us MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research UofG MVLS on a wild and wonderful journey. I am excited to share our story of how influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit cell death to facilitate its covert spread. N/1 journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…
