Our final big thanks goes to our awesome crowd of over 100 people who came to the meeting to listen some fantastic work in microbiology #BuffaloMPC2023

First Retrovirus meeting in person was a success! Good job for Uddhav Timilsina on his talk and Brandon Waxman for his poster! I moderated, we presented, learned a lot and laughed a lot with old and new friends! #cshlretro

While I will support the bipartisan budget agreement, I’m deeply disappointed that it slashes NIH funding by approx. $500M. It’s shameful that Rs would insist on cuts to med research as part of this deal. As a member of the Approps Committee, I'll work to reverse these cuts.

My student Brandon Waxman did a great job presenting his work at #ASV2023

We are hiring!! Faculty position (virologists come to the front of the line!) in our department. ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/45001

Save the date! The Annual Buffalo Conference on Microbial Pathogenesis will take place on May 29, 2024. Let's have some fun with microbiology! #BuffaloMPC2024 @ElsaAwesomePMNs Chelsie Armbruster

Buffalo during a 4 day blizzard! #Winter2024
