We have updated our pre-print to include Omicron variant neutralization after vaccination with four different COVID19 vaccines. Conclusion; dramatic loss of Omicron neutralization #Antibodies #SARSCoV2 #vaccines Amsterdam UMC @bomers_m Jonne Sikkens medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Antigenic cartography reveals all VOCs except Omicron belong to one cluster while Omicron forms a new antigenic cluster which will likely require a vaccine update. Proud of the team, working hard over the holidays! Amsterdam UMC RIVM

Sondre Ulvund Solstad wrote a really nice piece on our recent preprint on the antigenic diversification of SARS-CoV-2 economist.com/graphic-detail… The Economist @AlvinXHan Dirk Eggink RIVM Amsterdam UMC GGD Amsterdam Infectious Disease Research @c_reusken Marit van Gils 👩🏻‍🔬🦠🧬🔬

Great opportunity to join an amazing team! #antibodies #viruses #teamwork Amsterdam UMC

Great work by @hecklab on detailed polyclonal SARS-CoV2 antibody responses after VOC infection. Honored to be able to collaborate with this fantastic team! #Antibodies #teamwork Amsterdam UMC

Boosting with BNT162b2 results in significant increases of neutralizing antibodies, also against Omicron, independent of the initial vaccine received. Read the latest version of our manuscript comparing four vaccines. ⁦#vaccines #antibodies #teamwork medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to be at the EAVI2020 meeting to discuss in person all the great work on HIV vaccine development by our European partners this past 2 years Brussels Weather EAVI2020 #vaccineswork #antibodies #worktogether

Important message about IG germline gene database construction for outbred species by Mateusz Kaduk and Martin Corcoran in my group. A must read for all studying antibody responses in the NHP model.

We are looking for a wet lab virology postdoc (broadly defined) to join our European Research Council (ERC) funded project on influenza virus evolution. Want to know more? Please get in touch

Marit J. van Gils and colleagues investigate antibody responses against diverse emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants induced by four different SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in health care workers in the Netherlands: doi.org/10.1371/journa… @vangilslab #COVID #vaccines #covidvariant

Really proud to announce publication of our article in PLOS Medicine journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a… We compared 4 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and showed mRNA vaccines to have superior immune resp. See also interview: health.com/news/mrna-vacc… congrats Marit van Gils 👩🏻‍🔬🦠🧬🔬 @bomers_m Ayesha

Thank you our 25 amazing international speakers for making the Covid-19 Nobel Symposium in Medicine such a unique event. Incredible science and interactions!

Proud of PhD student Ana Chumbe! She did a great poster pitch at the #hcv2022 meeting in Ghent, work soon to be published. @jankeschinkel Amsterdam UMC

Amazing work resolving the structure of HCV E1E2 presented at #hcvflavi2022 by Kwinten Sliepen. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Alba Torrents Amsterdam UMC Scripps Research

Many months & edits later, our work on the baseline SARS-CoV-2 spike-reactive B cell repertoire is (finally!) out in Nature Communications. ⬇ Most interesting & relevant results below. It gets cool. ⬇ Marit van Gils 👩🏻‍🔬🦠🧬🔬 nature.com/articles/s4146… (1)

Excellent presentations and discussions on HIV prevention and treatment, and grateful to Marina Caskey for a great presentation on the use of antibodies in the battle against HIV! Amazing to be in-person again at NCHIV #NCHIV22 #antibodies #collaborations

Come join our teams!

Great work by amazing young scientists in the lab! Hope many new antibodies will follow #antibodies #VaccineDevelopment Amsterdam UMC

Interested in joining us to understand antibodies in systemic amyloidosis? Ideal for anyone interested in single B cell cloning and FACS. Post doc/ RA role available DoM_UCL together with my lab IIT UCL Division of Infection & Immunity ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Shoutout to Marit Van Gils Marit van Gils 👩🏻‍🔬🦠🧬🔬 for sharing fascinating data on potent neutralizing #antibodies from #COVID19 patients 👏 #SARSCoV2 #Nido2023
