Gammon Lab

Dr. Gammon is an Associate Professor at UTSW. We use novel virus-host systems to identify evolutionarily conserved antiviral factors and viral countermeasures.

Congrats to Emily on her paper in Nature Microbiology describing a new antiviral pathway we call “FEAR”! https://t.co/faggqjLxid

Congratulations to Emily Rex for receiving the 2026 Nominata Award, the highest accolade bestowed on a UT  Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences student!!! https://t.co/UAZ1jHpObt

Congrats everyone on the lab's new paper illustrating how bacterial effectors can be used as tools to reveal both broadly-acting and virus-specific host antiviral factors: https://t.co/TACrccQ8Ca

Thanks to all who helped our lab raise money for the @AmericanCancer Making Strides Event to fight breast cancer! Our lab is proud to be supported by @AmericanCancer

Our new manuscript is out @jvirology where we review IFN-independent antiviral responses! Mammalian innate antiviral defenses: beyond interferon | Journal of Virology https://t.co/1rVJGVgH1P

Our new manuscript is out in @PLOSPathogens ! We used bacterial effector proteins as tools to fish out host RNF214 proteins as novel antiviral factors. Congrats @Aaron_Embry_ on another great story! https://t.co/VRYiZ1KwH2

@TonixPharma @UTSWMedCenter Thanks for a great talk Seth. We really enjoyed hosting you!

Earlier this week, Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of $TNXP, presented data on the Company's potential #mpox vaccine at the @UTSWMedCenter Symposium Microbiology Seminar Series, held in Dallas, Tex. The presentation, titled “Resurrecting Dr. Edward Jenner’s 1798 Horsepox Vaccine to Protect Against Mpox and Smallpox,” focused on recent TNX-801 findings that are consistent with mucosal immunity and suggest the ability to block forward transmission, similar to Dr. Edward Jenner’s vaccine, which eradicated smallpox and kept #mpox out of the human population.

@RothenburgLab Congrats Stefan on a wonderful story!

New preprint from Gammon Lab @UTSWMedCenter where bacterial effectors reveal a role for mammalian RNF214 proteins in antiviral immunity in bats and humans! Great collab with the Alto Lab!

Good luck to Don at UC Davis where he will present our lab's work on the newly-discovered FEAR pathway! https://t.co/D4HMDaBvX1

[Gammon Lab @GammonLab]

New preprint from the Gammon Lab @UTSWMedCenter describing the activation and evasion of the FEAR Pathway by RNA Viruses.
Viruses still teaching us new tricks!

Come be my colleague!

I've been very, very happy at UTSW Micro.

Supportive environment. Strong ambition. Strong empathy. Excellent resources.

Check out Julie's thread for some statistics, financial incentives, and (bonus) grant-writing tips!

[Harmit S. Malik @HarmitMalik]

What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

[Gammon Lab @GammonLab]

@HarmitMalik Well said!

Congrats to our STARS student Daniel Deng on a fantastic summer of research! Clearly a rising star! We hope to see him back next year!
Thanks to @Aaron_Embry_ for mentoring Daniel!

[Gammon Lab @GammonLab]

Good times at Medieval Times with @GammonLab and friends! And if anyone was wondering, yes, the red knight did go down...

[Gammon Lab @GammonLab]

@TheRobinsonLab @adeebadhalech A huge milestone! Congrats!

[Ivan D’Orso @dorsolab]

My review about “The HIV-1 transcriptional program” for the @JMolBiol special issue on transcription elongation is now out: https://t.co/qW2WS3gKSc. I provide a 4 decades historical recount from mechanistic insights to implications for viral latency and cure. Thanks @NIAID!
