Had a great annual retreat with our group to @kewgardens!

[Rosalind Franklin Institute @RosFrankInst]

In a recent study published in Open Biology, researchers from the Franklin, @UniofOxford, @UZH_en & @LivUni describe the isolation of new nanobodies that are able to neutralise Omicron strains of Covid-19.

Bit belated, but very pleased this paper is now out. It was great to be part of this fantastic collaborative team working on nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2. More to come in the future! @RosFrankInst @katy_cornish

We were delighted to host @emcat1 @CVRinfo today who gave us a fantastic talk on her work on emerging viruses in Uganda!

Great to be able to share some of our recent SARS-CoV-2 neurovirulence work at #Microbio24 today! 🧠🦠

[Carroll Lab @Carroll_Lab_Ox]

Luke (@Luke00260) shared some of his ongoing work on infection of neuronal cells and organoids by SARS-CoV-2 @MicrobioSoc #Microbio24

That's a wrap. Thanks to all our speakers, poster presenters, attendees (in person and online) for a stimulating and friendly scientific get together in this lovely venue and city. #EVOx23 @StEdmundHall Same time next year?

Bountiful harvest from the chilli plant this year.

@SamJones_Lab @ShiyuWang18 @lee_fielding @Swifthom Congratulations @ShiyuWang18! :)

[ViralPseudotypeUnit @ViralPseudotype]

Just wow!!!!! PV enthusiasts assemble! Nottingham @OneVirology hosted event at the Vet School has been amazing! Such enthusiasm especially from the ECR and PhD contingent. Onwards and upwards!

[Luke Jones @Luke00260]

@RobertBagley I think the graphs are particularly impressive (he says, completely unbiased).

[Luke Jones @Luke00260]

@laurenjbatt @BBSRC @SamJones_Lab Congratulations! :)

So if you become a new PI do you automatically get one of these chairs for your office? Asking for a, erm, colleague.

[Luke Jones @Luke00260]

Had a fantastic time at #Microbio23. Enjoyed presenting some of our latest #nanobodies work, and everywhere you looked there was great science, talks and posters. Met some wonderful people, and really enjoyed seeing old colleagues again.

[Nazia Thakur @The1stNazerick]

Great talks by colleagues @Carroll_Lab_Ox at #microbio23 about #SARSCoV2 antibody responses using nanobodies as therapeutics in virus neutralisation assays (@Luke00260), and the importance of Fc-mediated functions using ADCD (@JackMellors2) 👏🏽

@simonpaulgraham @Pirbright_Inst Thank you!

[Luke Jones @Luke00260]

Thrilled that the first article based on my PhD work @Pirbright_Inst is now published! Here we characterised AHSV pathology in a small animal model. Many thanks to my co-authors (none of whom are on twitter!), who all trained me in their own ways.
