Exciting research at BU is uncovering the secrets to living longer, healthier lives. From studying centenarians to finding treatments for Alzheimer's, our experts are leading the way in aging research.

I am thrilled to announce that our work is out in Molecular Therapy! Many thanks to Anna Kajaste, @KajasteLab and all collaborators! So glad to share this with Erika Valeri, great scientist and friend! https://t.co/3zZm7H24rL
Online now (@ISA_Amyloidosis)! S/o to @sabrina_ghosh for her hard work during the pandemic (this was her UNDERGRAD❗️thesis)! HUGE thanks to the 🐐 mentor @DrGJMurphy for letting me play junior PI (my first (and hopefully not last) senior author paper🥸)

So cool to see the cells I work with make the @BostonGlobe and some of our exciting work in the aging field get featured! @DrGJMurphy https://t.co/fT10cbpVly
TWiV 997: Inside Omicron with Mohsan Saeed 〰 Mohsan joins TWiV to discuss the work of his laboratory showing that spike and nsp6 are determinants of Omicron attenuation, and why the work was widely misinterpreted by the press and the public. 📺 https://t.co/I3UjjI8JIr
The Saeed lab is hiring a postdoc! We are looking for a highly motivated virologist to work on innate antiviral immune mechanisms. The details can be found in the attached file. Please RT!
Our recent work on SARS-CoV-2 has come out in @Nature. This study identifies spike and nsp6 as major proteins contributing to Omicron’s pathogenicity/attenuation.

Our lab, along with the Mulhberger lab and @Crittermechanic lab, is recruiting a post-doc to study Nipah virus infection @neidl@BUMedicine. If you want to work on henipaviruses in a BSL-4 lab, using cool ipsc-derived systems and humanized mouse models, please reach out.
My swan song from my PhD with @DrGJMurphy/@CReM_Boston +@BU_Amyloidosis is now live on @biorxivpreprint:

Proud and excited to share our paper on the different capacities for IgG subclass to prevent HIV transmission which is now online!

The overarching message is that broadly neutralizing antibodies can drive innate immunity to help prevent HIV transmission.
