Thrilled (and humbled!) to share that since today I am the Chair of the Virology Department at Institut Pasteur.
Grateful to my colleagues for their trust. Now let’s push the frontiers of virus research together. The sky is the limit! 🦠🔬 #LoveVirology#Science#WomenInSTEM
1/11 New preprint alert! Our latest @freund_lab study in which we dissect how the immune system fights #Mpox and identify potent human neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (#mAbs) that target a novel key viral protein, #MpoxA28. Now on biorxiv: https://t.co/GGrSGc49DC🧵
The recency and geographical origins of the bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 @CellCellPress
What a great work Jonathan @jepekar and Spyros @SpyrosLytras 🤩🤩🤩‼️

Holaaa!!! 🔍📢Estudiantes que el año que viene hagan máster interesados en virología, tenemos en el laboratorio 2 perfiles de beca JAEINTRO del @DPE_CSIC. 1. evasión inmune del mpox virus de la viruela del mono y 2. análisis de secuencias de gripe en muestras de la Antartida
What was the ancestral receptor of merbecoviruses—ACE2, DPP4, or unknown? 🤔
This preview covers recent papers on HKU5 and other merbecoviruses, countermeasures, and an alternative evolutionary scenario for Merbecovirus receptor plasticity.

A new preprint is out at @biorxivpreprint! Here we performed round-robin pseudovirus experiments using 53 sarbecoviruses and ACE2s from 17 mammals to elucidate the ACE2 tropism of sarbecoviruses in natural hosts🦇, potential intermediate hosts🦫 & humans👤

Excited to share our recent preprint on quantifying pandemic potential from experimental transmission studies, spearheaded by grad student Elizabeth Somsen in my group and in collab with Troy Sutton & lab at Penn State and Anice Lowen at Emory: https://t.co/pOGBZqi4Ki.
A pleasure taking to @PeaseRoland about @CSIC-@UNESPA Antarctic Expedition and identification of high spread of avian flu HPAI in the Antarctic Peninsula (nearly 200 cases, 13 animal species, 24 sites). Go to the BBC World Science in Action interview👇👇 https://t.co/Vy3whSxqzg
A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same portal to enter human cells as the virus that causes COVID-19, raising the risk that it could spark an outbreak in people

🚨Primera detección del virus Sindbis (SINV) en el suroeste de España
En 2022, durante la vigilancia de mosquitos en Andalucía, se identificó este arbovirus zoonótico por primera vez en el país. Aquí los puntos clave de este descubrimiento 🦟👇

Identification and characterization of novel bat coronaviruses in Spain
One of the viruses can use human and bat ACE2, highlighting its zoonotic potential !

To get 2025 off to a good start, I'm delighted to share with you our study published today in @NatureMicrobiol 🎉 We studied the ability of the receptor-binding proteins (RBP) of >100 animal viruses to mediate entry into human cells. A short thread below.
