First Time at Microbiology Society annual conference! Thank you to anyone who came to see me speak about HCV E2 and its wobbly (but maybe not so wobbly(?!)) HVR-1!

You know it was a great talk because my boss Joe Grove looks REALLY engaged haha!!

We are delighted to open registration for the The 20th UK Hepacivirus and Flavivirus Meeting, May 17th-19th 2024.

Join us in the Lake District, in the warmth and sunshine of May, for excellent virology and equally brilliant countryside.

Thank you to Anna Sims for being a silly goose with me! And to Lois Mason 👩🏻‍🔬 for her amazing editing/videography! Diego Cantoni and #MichaelOliver also deserve thanks for their amazing camera work too! Please enjoy (and know it's all meant in good fun!)

Sound the preprint klaxon!!

We collaborated with Eddie Holmes' team, in particular Jon Mifsud, to combine phylogenetics and protein structure prediction.

We learned a lot about the evolution of the Flaviviridae.
