The Barclay lab is hiring! We are looking for Research Assistants/Techs for flu and SARS-CoV-2 work. One ad asks for CL3 experience but if you have CL2 experience, we can train you at CL3 so please apply! See job ads here - imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti… and imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

Interested in SARS-CoV-2 proviral and antiviral host factors? Today in #ASV2021, 2:15pm EST (8:15pm for Europeans), session W19. We will talk about about our bidirectional CRISPR screens in Calu-3 cells!

Into COVID 18 mois, il aura fallu 18 mois en 🇫🇷 pour avoir un message dédié de mise en garde contre la transmission du virus par les aérosols. Il n’est jamais trop tard pour bien faire. 18 mois et 4 vagues c’est quand même un peu long. #COVIDisAirborne

Allez, je recycle ce message de mars 2020 puisqu'il est malheureusement toujours d'actualité. Même s'il est moins agréable d'ouvrir les fenêtres en ce moment, pensons à le faire régulièrement en cette période de fêtes et de repas à plusieurs. #COVIDisAirborne

To anyone looking for a postdoc position on the molecular virology of RNA viruses (primarily flu) at the moment - I have a position available in my lab. See elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat… for more details and/or drop me an email

Samples sent from Montpellier on Tuesday, results on Saturday. Always impressed with plasmidsaurus!

New study from the team out today Journal of Biological Chemistry on MX1 antiviral proteins, led by @_JoeMcKellar! (uncorrected proofs) jbc.org/article/S0021-…

"In addition to lethal disease following direct inoculation, infection of ferrets resulted in efficient contact (horizontal) transmission leading to lethal disease with one virus isolate with additional evidence of (...) airborne transmission." #H5N1 researchsquare.com/article/rs-284…
