@lsubissi @EckerleIsabella @gcevd @hug_ge @UNIGEnews @MIMOL_UNIGE @AUSharjah Thank you, Lorenzo @lsubissi ! I hope we can continue our collaborative work in the future.

[Meriem Bekliz, PhD @MBekliz]

Grateful for all the amazing experiences and collaborations! <3

[Meriem Bekliz, PhD @MBekliz]

Thank you so much @EckerleIsabella for the kind words and incredible support over these past years! It has been an honor to work with you and the team. I’m excited to start this new chapter at @UoSharjah and continue our work on #SARSCoV2 & #mpox.

Amazing!!!!🤩🤩🤩

Do rapid tests still detect currently circulating #Omicron #SARSCoV2 #Covid19 EG.5 "#Eris" & its sublineages?
Our rapid assessment by @MBekliz with patient samples: Yes, detection still works & sensitivity is comparable to earlier variants

Incredibly how quickly @yunlong_cao is able to produce this kind of incredible data. BA.2.86 infectivity is extremely low in this cell type.
BA.2.86 remains enigmatic, but this is at least potentially very good news. Will be very interesting to see results on other cell types.

Multiple detection of #BA286 #Pirola #SARSCoV2 variant in Switzerland 🇨🇭 🇨🇭 🇨🇭. Huge thanks to the whole team for their hard work. #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #wastewater @cbg_ethz

New data arrived for #BA286 / #Pirola in #Switzerland: the variant is observed at low abundance in multiple locations through our #Wastewater surveillance of #SARSCoV2 variants.

[CBG, ETH Zurich @cbg_ethz]

The raw data is scheduled to be uploaded to ENA, and in the meantime we make the reads from July 26 to August 9 (138 samples, 14 treatment plants) available here: https://t.co/jP6brQPyZe

BA.2.86 has been detected in wastewater samples from Switzerland (Laupen; canton Bern) taken on Aug. 5 and 6. Its frequency is rather uncertain, somewhere around 2%. The other 13 monitored locations across the country do not show a signal for BA.2.86-defining mutations yet. 1/2

It’s not enough to say 🗣 🗣 🗣:
we are faster than ever if that is still slower than the speed 🏃‍♀️ and dynamic of the #epidemic 🏎 .

Early start to catch the nidovirus meeting. Could not attend because of thesis defence but seen some updates.
