Coming soon: Our paper in collaboration with Adriana Weinberg's UCD team, which compares initial memory subset and longevity of CD4 T cells recruited by different shingles vaccines. Reaching into naive populations may explain long-lived responses. jci.org/articles/view/…

A new, exciting connection underlying severe VZV: Impaired STING Activation Due to a Variant in the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase AMFR in a Patient with Severe VZV Infection a… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38277122/

I'm looking forward to reading this exciting new paper on circRNAs and herpesvirus infection! Congrats @DremelSarah! Interferon induced circRNAs escape herpesvirus host shutoff and suppress lytic infection pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38263330/

Why does measles keep rearing its ugly head? The answer is simple. A 🧵, also at virology blog. 1/ virology.ws/2024/02/01/let…

Am sharing this to provide a profile of measles impact. I get all these responses saying it is a trivial disease. The difficulty here: what do you consider to be trivial. And do you then accept the gamble: if my kid ends up to be the one with encephalitis, tough luck

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence… In collaboration with computational biology experts Pavitra Roychoudhury and @DanDepledge we conclude that the claim that HSV establishes latency in immune cells is not supported by the underlying datasets journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

A big thanks to our own Raoul J de Groot🥒&🌶 and co-organisers for another excellent edition of the #DAVS symposium! See you all again next year 👋🏻

It's time for #MicrobeoftheMonth! Can you guess who I am? 1) I only naturally infect humans. 2) I target T cells, skin cells and ganglia. 3) I cause a rash. Think you know? Comment below!

A postdoc position is available in our lab to work on the impact of herpes simplex virus infection on the nervous system. Great opportunity to gain expertise in different neuronal models of infection and an animal model of HSV neurogenerative disease.

'Laat wetenschap werken': een mooie campagne van NFU. Wetenschappers slaan hun handen ineen door het toekomstige kabinet te laten zien dat hun onderzoek onmisbaar is om Nederland vooruit te helpen. NWO sluit graag aan bij deze campagne: nwo.nl/nieuws/campagn…

A hard question and a very fun project with Eddie Holmes and Florian Krammer. #LoveVirology. Lots of great stuff in here…what did we miss? Virology—The next fifty years: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I'm delighted to announce that the preprint of my PhD work is out. We show that CD4+ T-cells and IFN-γ are essential for the suppression of MCMV replication, establishment of latency and prevention of reactivation in CNS neurons. Fun times ahead😎 researchsquare.com/article/rs-494…

Our Stern-Ginossar lab work is now on bioRxiv! In this paper, we dive into a central question in HCMV biology- what drives the establishment of latency? and we believe we’ve cracked a major part of the answer! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our anniversary focus issue on #neuroscience includes content reflecting on the progress of the field, highlighting emerging topics, and paving the way toward many more years of fascinating neuroscience research. Explore the issue: cell.com/cell/issue?pii… #50YearsofCell
