Felicitaties aan alle laureaten en in het bijzonder aan Annelou de Vries !

Proud of PhD student Ana Chumbe! She did a great poster pitch at the #hcv2022 meeting in Ghent, work soon to be published. Janke Schinkel Amsterdam UMC

Great HCV vaccin session at #hcvflavi2022 . Great to see all the efforts going on and the progress being made. KreyLab Naglaa Shoukry @hdrummer1 Ellie Barnes 🚵‍♀️

Very proud of Kwinten Sliepen presenting his “beer-in-stand” model of the HCV E1E2 structure at #hcvflavi2022

Amazing work resolving the structure of HCV E1E2 presented at #hcvflavi2022 by Kwinten Sliepen. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Alba Torrents Amsterdam UMC Scripps Research

What a great meeting #hcvflavi2022 turned out to be. 2! presentations of HCV E1E2 structures, multiple talks on strategies for HCV vaccine antigen selection, optimization, production. Never more optimistic about prospects for an HCV vaccine. Oh, and the beer was great.

Volgende keer ook je telefoon -:)?

Wonderful collaboration between Amsterdam UMC and NIHRD in Jakarta. Valuable and important insights into genetic (adaptation) and antigenic characteristics of H5N1. Congratulations Hana. It was a pleasure working together!

Just out: “.. a blueprint for the design of vaccines and drugs that target HCV“. Very proud of the team and especially Kwinten Sliepen Alba Torrents and Lisa Eshun-Wilson Structure of the hepatitis C virus E1E2 glycoprotein complex science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Care to comment Sjoerd den Daas ?

New in Science: Researchers have determined the cryo–electron microscopy structure of the hepatitis C virus E1E2 glycoprotein complex. The structure provides a blueprint for the design of vaccines and drugs that target the virus. scim.ag/jP

The bispecifics showed equal or increased potency against VOCs compared to at least one of the parental antibodies (4/4). Many others to thank for this work, but especially Marit van Gils 👩🏻‍🔬🦠🧬🔬 Dirk Eggink The Ward Lab Janke Schinkel

Preprint#2 just out before Twitter goes (researchsquare.com/article/rs-225…). VH1-69 is a common gene for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HCV. Joan Capella-Pujol tested binding of precursors of VH1-69 bNAbs to a recombinant HCV glycoprotein (separate paper on E2E1 out very soon)(1/4)

Sheesh, Kwinten Sliepen is on fire! 🔥 After his Science Magazine HCV E1E2 structure last month, a vaccination strategy using E1E2 on nanoparticles out now in Nature Communications!

Still blows my mind there’s zero mainstream coverage of the only thing everyone in tech is talking about It’s like we just split the atom and everyone is talking about football

Ik ook, met een leermomentje voor mijn jongste zoon, die met een afwasborstel uit de keuken hondenpoep van zijn schoen aan het verwijderen was:

We've got a fully funded 4y PhD position in our HCV vaccine research group at Amsterdam UMC. PLease check it out: werkenbij.amsterdamumc.org/en/publicatie-… a RT would be very much appreciated..

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in the Amsterdam region showed a predominance of omicron BQ.1.* variants in December 2022 (green circles; x-axis is sampling date). These variants were present from October 2022 onwards. 1/3

Een van de reuzen van de klimaatwetenschap is vannacht overleden: Will Steffen. Bijzonder eloquent, scherp, confronterend. Het waren zijn filmpjes die me deden inzien in welke hachelijke situatie we ons bevinden. Hier wat voorbeelden. Kijk vanavond, en neem daarna een borrel. 👇

We zoeken een onderzoeker met interesse in toepassing van innovaties in de zorg - met een Msc in (techische) geneeskunde, verpleegkunde of biomedische wetenschappen- voor een project op het grensvlak medische microbiologie, ouderenzorg en e-health. werkenbij.amsterdamumc.org/nl/vacatures/r…
