HOLOBIONT

A podcast at the crossroads of microbiology, immunology, evolution, computational biology🔭 🦠By Ursule Demael at the @UniofOxford / @UCL

[Ursule Demaël @UDemael]

A recent episode invited by Zhen’s Podcast where I discuss our research on broadly protective SARS-CoV-2 #vaccines, virus evolution, biotech entrepreneurship with @NucleateUK and podcasting 🦠🔬🎙

Thank you so much for having me on✨

Latest episode with @contreraslegals on DNA patents 🧬, the AMP vs Myriad case in genetic diagnostics, and intellectual property in #biotech

https://t.co/anyaog0GAq

featuring this illustration of a ���DNA prison” I made with stable diffusion- watch for more! ✨

[HOLOBIONT @HOLOBIONT_]

Had so much fun in the latest episode with @barjammar covering the historical research linking #Hpylori 🦠and stomach ulcers... and a few tangents on #PeerReview, Charles Darwin, Kary Mullis and more!

I had a lot of fun in this conversation with Thomas @pradeu from @ImmunoConcept (@CNRS) 💡💭

We discuss philosophy “in” biology, extended #immunity, definitions of the “self” and “#cancer”, and much more…

This episode is like a dream come true: two of the people I admire the most brought together in a 3h+ conversation about viral evolution, AlphaFold and vaccines! Can’t recommend this episode enough

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Here's my conversation with Vincent Racaniello (@profvrr), a virologist and microbiologist at Columbia, co-host of This Week in Virology, and one of best educators of biology and science that I've ever spoken to. We talk all about viruses and vaccines. https://t.co/JjHX5NI6Ee

[HOLOBIONT @HOLOBIONT_]

@AdrianoAguzzi check the HOLOBIONT episodes out for immunology, computational biology and reflections on frontiers in microbiology!

[HOLOBIONT @HOLOBIONT_]

Cancer cells are not the sole centre of the tumour solar system!

@massara_matteo from the @Joycelab tells us about the immune micro-environment and bacterial #microbiome of tumours and how this could inform the next generation of #cancer therapeutics

[HOLOBIONT @HOLOBIONT_]

The story of #polio eradication is threaded with wars, vaccine hesitancy and obstacles galore but it’s mostly filled with hope.

@EllynOgden has led polio eradication campaigns for @USAID for 20+ years and shares their extraordinary challenges and success
