Evolution of aging, semelparity to transmissible cancers.
An interesting and fun conversation with @LidskyPeter about the 'pathogen control strategy' to explain aging.

David (Ming Te) is moving to Osaka University, Japan and will be setting up new Andino lab there. Thank you for all your work at UCSF and good luck in Japan, David!!
Great collaborative project with Chien-Ting on SARS-CoV-2 replication in nasal epithelial cells is finally out! Probably the most exciting discoveries we made during last crazy 3 years. .

Brilliant article detailing the impact of new polio vaccine developed by our long time collaborator @AndinoUcsf: 20+ years of basic science was used to design a safe vaccine now given to 450 million people. https://t.co/2FsxK5njSW
Our programmatic opinion is finally out. We believe aging is an adaptation evolved to control epidemics. We also stress problems of other hypotheses of aging.

These researchers present longitudinal data on the magnitude, duration and decay rate of viral RNA and the magnitude and duration of infectious virus in nasal specimens from vaccinated and unvaccinated participants.

After being eradicated from the US nearly 50 years ago, how the hell is polio back? For @guardian I look at the perfect storm of of virus mutations and anti-vaccine messaging that led to the current outbreak.

With polio in the news (and the wastewater) I'm thinking about Raul Andino @UCSF & Andrew Macadam of
@NIBSC_MHRA. With support from @gatesfoundation created the first new oral polio vaccine in 50 years, to end ending vaccine-derived #poliovirus. https://t.co/JpnNZJeBW3
Read our new paper! 😎 Magnitude and determinants of SARS-CoV-2 household transmission: a longitudinal cohort study. @cychiu98@CDCgov@MichaelPelusoMD@MiguelGarKni 💙

Not sure if someone took a picture of me but here is Michel Tassetto presenting his work on RNA-based adaptive (!) immunity in 🦟. Loved this project 2 years ago when Raul presented it in Moscow 🥲💙

Join our informal seminars on emerging arboviruses (Dr. Claudia Duarte dos Santos) and T. cruzi (Dr. Samuel Goldberg) next Tuesday 6/14! Also, it's an opportunity to learn more about our research from lab members' flash talks.
Miguel talks about his work in Andino lab at https://t.co/CM0v38IPD4 today at 12 pm (you can listen to the recording after!). It's in Spanish, though 🙈
