Looking forward to Mike Ohman’s thesis defense this week! 🎉

And if you can’t make it to his defense, you can still check out a large part of his thesis work on the #HCMV Pentamer complex in his recent @PNASNews paper: https://t.co/P6AM8RiZgC

Members of the @KalejtaLab led by Michael Ohman showed that Human Cytomegalovirus Pentamer represses viral immediate early transcription. 🦠

Excited to see Ryan Walter’s work showing both pro- and anti-viral roles of the cellular ATRX protein during productive HCMV infection is out @PLOSPathogens! 🥳

Congrats to Ryan & shout-out to our @MadisonVirology colleague @Majumder_Lab for the assist!

Doors open in 1hr. #Herpeticlegion

[Kalejta Lab @KalejtaLab]

On our way to the #herpeticlegion concert! Oh yeah, and #ihw2024 too 😎

Equally as proud of my nephew Ethan. He is a surfer too!

[Kalejta Lab @KalejtaLab]

Happy 4th! No science today but my niece Riley learned how to wakesurf. And to a Judas Priest soundtrack (crank it up)!

Throwback Friday. Any trainee know what this is? Hint: it is 180 degrees opposite of what Jim Alwine invented.
