We study molecular aspects of HCV and Flavivirus, specifically mechanisms of virus entry; neutralizing antibodies & vaccine development.

New preprint from us while with @McLauchlanCVR identifying a new anti-HCV gene, ARHGEF3 aka XPLN (pronounced zeppelin) through ISG screening against HepC transient replicon. Big thanks to coauthors @ElihuAranday @RicardoSanvel @PatelLabCVR @KohlLabCVR @WilsonLabCVR

We have an open position for a postdoc in a #SARS_COV_2 project.

[MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research @CVRinfo]

*New Vacancy* POST-DOC with a PhD in Virology, who will make a leading contribution to a LifeArc-funded project that aims to develop small molecule inhibitors of a SARS-CoV-2 protein involved in virus RNA replication. (D/L 03/12).

Congratulations to our PhD student Ricardo, who published his first 1st author paper, describing a luciferase-based reporter #YFV, great tool for drugs and antibodies screening. Good job! @RicardoSanvel @margusvarjak @KohlLabCVR @serdelor https://t.co/tF7EwtHs21

At the beginning of March, Paulo, PhD student from @Unesp_Global, concluded his 6 months experience in our lab, testing potential antivirals against #ZIKV. Now is back in Brazil and we are already missing his sunny presence. Best wishes for your PhD! @AgenciaFAPESP

We're really proud of @emcat1 @CVR_Genomics and
@CVRbioinfo and the contribution they are making to this important #COVIDー19 collaborative UK #Genomic_Sequencing initiative. Rapid real time sequencing data will help map #SARSCoV2 spread and identify viral changes.

MinION sequencing of #SARS_COV_2 from Scotland's first #Covid_19 case in progress @CVRinfo using the @NetworkArtic protocol #greenisgood

[CVR Genomics @CVR_Genomics]

Not to be outdone by @nanopore sequencing of #SARS_COV_2 from Scotland's first #Covid_19 case also in progress on @illumina NextSeq550. Q30 still >95% and only 40 cycles to go. All go @CVR_Genomics

[PatelLabCVR @PatelLabCVR]

Great work!

[MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research @CVRinfo]

@CVRinfo and @NHSGGC WoSSVC have rapidly sequenced #SARS_COV_2 from Scotland’s first #Covid_19 case in <24hrs using the @NetworkArtic protocol. Sequence to be released tomorrow morning following QC. Thanks to @arambaut @Scalene @CVRGenomics @CVRbioinfo @emcat1 @The_MRC

[HCV2021 @HCV2021]

Have you submitted an abstract for #HCV2020 yet? 📚 Abstract themes include HCV, Flaviviruses, Innate Immunity/Virus-Host Interaction, Liver Inflammation, Viral Pathogenesis, and Carcinogenesis, Adaptive Immunity and many more. Find out more here: https://t.co/WRmFkCv9hr

Congratulations to Sinkins lab.

[UofG MVLS @UofGMVLS]

⭐️ TOP health story on @BBCNews online this morning — @UofGlasgow’s breakthrough in the fight against the #dengue virus.

Congrats again to Prof Sinkins and team @CVRinfo, aided by @wellcometrust funding, on this #WorldChangingGlasgow study 🦟

Time flies... One year ago Chayanee joined @PatelLabCVR. She was a wonderful addition to the team, during and after working hours. She even convinced me to ride the Star Flyer at Edinburgh Christmas market 😱. Now she is back at her university in Bangkok and we miss her so much!

[Giuditta De Lorenzo @serdelor]

After 9 month of great work in @PatelLabCVR, Margherita is gone back to Italy to conclude her Master at San Raffaele University in Milan @MyUniSR. I am sure she enjoyed her time here in Glasgow 🧫🔬 We wish you a bright future! https://t.co/b4tLXlyf1t

Do you work with #YellowFever virus? Ricardo from @PatelLabCVR is your man. He has a poster at #IMAV19 and is waiting for you!

Interferon lambda/HCV evolution bonanza just out in @eLife including one paper co-led by @ElihuAranday and @McLauchlanCVR in @CVRinfo + Oxford https://t.co/D58ghmerJy (I was fortunate enough to help out a little)

[Connor G. G. Bamford, Ph.D @cggbamford]

Our centre is looking to see if there are some new postdoc 'best practices' that could be adopted. Is there anything you think your centre does well or doesn't do (that you think they should do) that you'd be willing to share so that we can take inspiration?
