[Rowena Bull @Row_Bull]

@jseden1 That’s very radical of you!! I’m betting it will work ok...

An important study describing optimal conditions for HCV neut assays and also that the antigenic profile of recombinant proteins varies in different HEK expression systems - relevant to all viral antigen studies. ⁦@GroveLab⁩ ⁦@MKalemera⁩ https://t.co/qFQ8R1yyp6

Great to have this work out. Lots of hard work by the team @HariB08 and big thanks to the many collaborators. @sarah_sasson @Dr_Banika @FabienneBrilot and many others. Now hoping to understand the epitope specificity of these neutralising sars-2 memory B cells at 6 months.

@whereisdaz Best of luck in your next endeavour.... hopefully the grass is greener on the other side (and if it is let me know!!).

Great opportunity for ECRs working in basic, clinical or applied viral hepatitis research in Australia to gain funding for their project.

[Australian Centre For Hepatitis Virology @AusHepVirol]

On this World Hepatitis Day the Australian Centre for Hepatitis Virology announce the opening of three grants to ECRs for research into viral hepatitis. Submit your pitch now!! https://t.co/dVBfcT2PJv

@thiruni1 And you did an a amazing job!! Well done and thank you!! I hope you’re ready to do it all again next week!!

[Rowena Bull @Row_Bull]

Like most virologists I’ve been working like crazy the last month but today, while home schooling, my nephew listed me as his favourite Scientist!! Nothing more rewarding than kids adoration!! Makes it all worthwhile....

@iamharisankar @Psy_Fer_ @nanopore @NetworkArtic @jil_hammond @KirbyInstitute Wetlab protocol develop by @jseden1 . We haven’t timed it and we have the steps split across different institutes, but probably one long day from swab to sequence, obviously depending on how many samples you do.

[Rowena Bull @Row_Bull]

@Psy_Fer_ @nanopore @NetworkArtic @jil_hammond @KirbyInstitute Awesome!!!

[Rowena Bull @Row_Bull]

@KirbyInstitute @UNSWMedicine @UNSW @anura_Adhikari @StuartTurville @jseden1 @iradeveson @thiruni1 Big thanks to @StuartTurvill for setting it all up

[Rowena Bull @Row_Bull]

@jseden1 @KirbyInstitute @iradeveson @anura_Adhikari @thiruni1 Yes, @StuartTurville has done all the hard with getting the labs set up and equipped!

[Rowena Bull @Row_Bull]

Proud of my team at the @KirbyInstitute who are joining the fight against COVID-19. Amazing collaboration between UNSW, POWH, Westmead and Garvan. @jseden1 @iradeveson @anura_Adhikari @thiruni1
