If we can discover hidden virus infections by watching the zebrafish immune system, what else should we be watching? Current Biology with Marlen @james_gagnon and Nels Elde cell.com/current-biolog…

My first first-author paper is finally out - in it we reconstructed ancient proteins to reveal how Hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood, evolved its complex structure and function more than 450 million years ago. News and views summary from Nature here: nature.com/articles/d4158….

In this video, we capture neutrophil swarming at a site of acute wounding, as the locus is invaded by opportunistic bacteria Cambridge Advanced Imaging Centre

Intriguing first glimpses of some flying host-virus wilderness inventively tamed in the laboratory

Also excited for our review coauthored with Hala Tamim on the molecular interactions between microsporidia and their hosts to be online onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Very excited to share the lab’s first preprint in a project led by Alex Willis and Winnie Zhao where we demonstrate that parental infection with microsporidia induces inherited immunity in the offspring of C. elegans! 1/15 biorxiv.org/content/early/…

Good parenting in C. elegans: creative and exciting work from the lab of my former lab mate Aaron Reinke shows how parents transmit their experiences of a stressful and complex world to enhance immunity in their progeny, distinct from other intergenerational phenomena

Come for the virologists, stay for the thespians — our preprint is up on bioRxiv. Heroic effort by the team at UW-Madison and Roche. Check out the thread to see how the story plays out.UW-Madison MMI Morgridge Institute Anthony Gitter

I wish more people would get funding for/work on weird single celled eukaryotes. I bet there is a lot of amazing biochemistry to discover.

Hey MISTR - good can come from conflict - we used it to uncover new dimensions for #mitochondria. Thanks PLOS Biology for investing in our work. Congrats to my stellar PhD student Mahsa. Seeded while PD w/Nels Elde #genes #evo #viruses #miRs #cellDeath journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

I'm looking for postdocs and research associates with experience in zebrafish to join my group at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network! We are building a team to combine m. bio, imaging, deep learning, and mathematical modeling to understand self-organization of tissues. DM or email me, and please RT!

I'm looking for RAs & scientists to help launch my lab Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network! We discover and deploy zebrafish viruses to capture infection dialogs with visual and molecular precision. Join us in illuminating virus infection biology in toto. czbiohub.org/careers/ or contact me directly

Thrilled to share a new review article from our lab and Jessica Fiege in Microbiology Society JGV on the impacts of eliminating natural mouse virus from traditional lab mouse experiments: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa… 1/3

We are organizing a Physics of Life Symposium! If you use or are interested in using the tools and concept of Physics to study Biology we'd love to see you there!

We are hiring! We are looking for someone to work with Keir Balla, Loïc A. Royer 💻🔬⚗️, and my group at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network to help us develop next-generation #zebrafish genetic modification tools and make new transgenic lines. DM me if you have questions! boards.greenhouse.io/chanzuckerberg…
