Exciting few weeks, as I will soon become the new GSK Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID), @Cambridge_Uni @MedCambridge
🎉
And our BTN3A3 work was published in @Nature (https://t.co/kaOvmGhpJi)

Just published in @NatureComms!
We show that Usutu virus is the only mosquito-borne flavivirus to resist ISG20-mediated inhibition, thanks to a unique domain in its 3'UTR that protects its genome from degradation.
A project led by @JimZPhD at @IRIM_life.

@JimZPhD @SEBNisole @YannickSimonin @lab_jouvenet @DecrolyE @JayCyPa67 Congratulations Jim. Great to see your hard work in print!

@dittmannlab Congratulations! Wishing you all the best with this new chapter.

Why do people seem to be getting sick more often now?

For yet another year we are already seeing earlier and significantly higher hospital admissions for respiratory illness than pre-pandemic levels. Are there new mysterious pathogens starting to attack us now? 🧵1/

BREAKING🔔 A new study from G2P-Japan🇯🇵 is out! The preprint will be out so soon, but we first show our results on the efficacy of XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine - comparison between infection-naïve and XBB-infected individuals. Please retweet/repost🔥 1/

[Wilson Lab @WilsonLabCITIID]

Please RT. Are you interested in how viruses emerge in humans? We're looking for a postdoctoral investigator to join us and lead exciting projects investigating innate immune barriers to the emergence and pathogenesis of viruses.

It was an honour representing the @CVRinfo @UofGlasgow at the @Els_Vaccine 17th Vaccine Congress, here in Glasgow! As a non-vaccinologist I got to learn a great lot about vaccines from all the other speakers! #17VaccineCongress

@SpyrosLytras @katrina_lythgoe @rbiek @blJOg @robertson_lab Congratulations Spyros!

A big thank you to your examiners @katrina_lythgoe and @rbiek as well.

@DrToniHo @MTurnbullCVR Thanks @MTurnbullCVR for helping to make our lab a positive, supportive training environment. Nice to see everybody's efforts recognised.

In 1986 Staeheli et al seminal MX1 paper noted re: IFN/ISGs “it is not known...how many of these proteins are required for protection against a particular virus”. 37 yrs later, Phd student @mattbmcdoug's new paper shines a light. 1/3

@GordonDougan1 Thanks so much, you're leaving enormous shoes to fill!
I'll gladly take you up on your offer of help and look forward to meeting up in the JCBC.

The Greek island of Rhodes continues to burn. My wife @theodora_nyc was supposed to be on vacation, visiting her family, but instead helping with the relief effort

And most importantly, thanks to my wife (@Lab_Rihn_th) and everyone from the @wilsonlabCVR & @Lab_Rihn_th groups (past and present) and all of our colleagues at @CVRinfo for the wonderful journey.

[Sam J Wilson @SamJWilsonPhD]

Thanks to everyone who mentored me along the way, with a special shoutout of thanks to my key mentors @PaulKellam_2 (PhD), Greg Towers (@towerslab, postdoc1) and @PaulBieniasz (postdoc2).

[Sam J Wilson @SamJWilsonPhD]

@w_mcewan So cool!
