The excellent Naphak Modhiran presenting some of her excellent nanobody based therapeutics for SARS-COV-2. University of Queensland SCMB EMCR Group #IUMS2024

Fighting Viral Diseases session at #IUMS2024 , Naphak Modhiran delivers an exciting talk about a neutralising nanobody that targets a conserved site on SARS-CoV-2 spike with an interesting mechanism of action

Emerging viruses and vaccines to fight them: Mikaela Bell from the Jody Peters (Hobson-Peters) lab presenting on a recombinant alphavirus platform based on insect specific Yada Yada virus at #IUMS2024

Continuing on in the emerging viruses and vaccines to fight them session at #IUMS2024 : Chris McMillan delivers a comprehensive talk about spatial transcriptomics and antibody analyses of skin delivered vaccines

In an Australian dominated session at #IUMS2024 , Alyssa Peterson from Jody Peters (Hobson-Peters) and Leon Hugo laboratory talks about vertical transmission and super infection exclusion for insect specific flaviviruses

On the last day of #IUMS2024 , Dr Natalee Newton delivers a captivating and highly aesthetic talk on high resolution structures of tick-borne flaviviruses !

Here, we reanalyse support for claims published in mBio on #SARSCoV2 "recombination" with bacteria. We find no evidence that mutations in SARS-CoV-2 VOC originate from homologous fragments in gut microbiota. Thanks to JVirology Editors for publishing. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

New from the RNA Virology lab: We characterized 2021-2022 vaccine & hybrid immunity cohorts for #SARSCoV2 in QLD AUS and generated an ΔORF3-8 attenuated strain. We validated this virus in neutralization assays with sera panel. We hope for future BSL2 use. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to have just published this article with the amazing Meagan Carney (UQ News UQ Science ) along with Julian Sng Yanshan and others combining maths with experimental virology.....interdisciplinary work all the way! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Really enjoyed the engaged discussion with our ECR community today, alongside my fellow panelists. Great start to the #AVS12 meeting. Really looking forward to the days ahead. Aust'asian Virology

Very proud to see the talented Julian Sng from the Kirsty Short lab presenting his post-acute sequelae (PASC) of COVID-19 at #AVS12 talking about their mouse adapted model and teasing out the phenotype of PASC.

Here we provide evidence of henipaviruses in North America with the discovery of Camp hill virus in the Northern Short-Tailed Shrew, Alabama. Early release article available from EID wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31… #virology

Fascinating presentation by Dr Connor Scott from The University of Queensland UQ Science who discussed developments in therapeutic targets for Japanese encephalitis #lorneiandi

Feeling very grateful to receive an early career development and ECR oral presentation award at Lorne I&I VIIN An amazing few days in Lorne learning about all types of pathogens and host responses. Great science at a stunning location!

Very excited to have been awarded a Thomas Davies Research Grant! Thank you Australian Academy of Science for supporting EMCRs and congratulations to the other recipients!!!

#InternationalWomensDay celebrates the achievements of women! The 2025 leadership team for the #UQ Biotechnology Society is proud to empower the next generation of biotech leaders through professional development, industry & research networking.

QAAFI proudly supports IWD 2025! 🌿 To kick off the day, we'd ike to congratulate Dr Anne Sawyer on receiving a 2025 Thomas Davies Research Grant. Her research is on RNA as a novel spray-on vaccine for Phytophthora, a devastating pathogen. bit.ly/3F4wUwA

Exciting work coming from the ⁦Jody Peters (Hobson-Peters)⁩ lab! C6/36 cells can be grown as a suspension culture to efficiently produce ISF chimera vaccines. Congrats everyone!! mdpi.com/1999-4915/17/2…

New work in cell culture & virus generation protocols from our ECRs at SCMB! mdpi.com/1999-4915/17/2…
