Emerging viruses + host responses = pathogenesis. PI: @angie_rasmussen. Proud to be part of the @VIDOInterVac @usask research community.

We are so excited to have Lauryn on the team this summer!

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

I like to brag, so I'm thrilled that @usask BMI is highlighting awesome @VIDOInterVac @Rasmussen_Lab summer student Lauryn Urzada.

Lauryn studies how sex hormones affect Ebola proteins that mess with the host response. This might explain why Ebola outcomes can differ by sex!

New @biorxivpreprint study from our lab in collaboration with Satoko Yamaoka and Hideki Ebihara!

Dr. @mhamdi_zeineb led the transcriptomic work on our end, with fantastic support from Dr. @ReemaSingh28 and Stephanie Saundh.

Thanks to the whole team!

Have you ever wondered how Ebola virus manages to induce such a catastrophically lethal host response?

I have. So @mhamdi_zeineb & I joined Satoko Yamaoka & Hideki Ebihara to get some answers about mechanisms of pathogenesis.

SPOILER ALERT: it's VP40

One of our amazing graduate students, Marin Habbick, is featured today in @TheStarPhoenix! Check out her excellent work studying sex biases in coronavirus pathogenesis!

Well done, Dr. @ReemaSingh28! 🏆

We are fortunate to have such an excellent bioinformatician on the team!

Thrilled to announce that my lab has received support from @CIHR_IRSC to study mpox virus pathogenesis and optimize response to treatment here at @VIDOInterVac.

Quick thread on what we plan to do 👇🏼

[Rasmussen Lab @Rasmussen_Lab]

Thrilled to talk about our team's work on emerging viruses at the #DiseasePreventionSummit in Philadelphia, PA, USA on September 7-8!

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

I am beyond excited to speak at the #DiseasePreventionSummit in Philly this September 7-8.

Grateful to be part of this crucial discussion with other world-class scientists who will be speaking, including @VIDOInterVac Director Volker Gerdts and @PeterHotez!
