Welcome! Thanks for visiting.

[Jens Bosse @bosse_lab]

We have a PhD position open! Please apply if you are interested in proteome-wide interaction networks of large DNA viruses and target them with in-silico-designed protein binders. Our colleagues have many more fascinating projects. Check them out at https://t.co/0XjNG8ubsV

@bosse_lab @maluquerlab et al, if you are still on X...? Check this out.

[Blair Strang @StrangVirusLab]

@bosse_lab Many thanks for that Jens. Its been really useful to us so far. Cant wait to see what you guys do with this in the future. Please pass on thanks to Malte and Tim!

[Jens Bosse @bosse_lab]

We have two open PhD positions in the lab! One together with @LandauMeytal on viral amyloids and one on phase separation of viral replication compartments! See https://t.co/SuuTVmzMvh for viral amyloids, and PM me for the second!

Excited by viruses and how our bodies repel them? Exciting fully funded PhD project now available combining expertise from the lab to the clinic. #virology #immunology #dermatology #CRISPR #vector-vertebrate biology. Help us spread the word. ☺️

@PaulHoskisson @roscobacterium @DonalWallLab I would be very surprised if your neighbours at @CVRinfo couldn’t help? I’d be amazed if no one had pUC19 or similar.

[Blair Strang @StrangVirusLab]

@ewrightlab @GL_Hooper @Pirbright_Inst Always heartening to see colleagues challenging themselves by working on DNA viruses.

@DrNeilStone It would be interesting to know more about how Twitter works now. You have to assume that it’s putting this under the noses of everyone who has the strongest (pro) opinions of Kennedy. Platform must recognise the picture, right?

[Blair Strang @StrangVirusLab]

@HenriquesLab @EMBO Sincerest congratulations! Very well deserved.

[Blair Strang @StrangVirusLab]

@SwaledaleMutton You’re not missing anything. Healy and Kay are doing the co-comms and, somehow, even more boring than usual.

[CMM JHU @CMM_JHU]

Mourning the loss of Dr. Diane Griffin, who passed away on Monday.

Dr. Griffin was a founding member of @CMM_JHU and chaired our advisory board. A distinguished virologist, she was an elected member of Natl Acad Sci and Natl Acad Med. We remember her with gratitude.

As we publish the updated RCOG Scientific Impact Paper on ‘congenital CMV infection’ this month, I look forward to seeing you at the the RCOG educational event on infection during pregnancy. Great comprehensive program and excellent speakers!
