Excited to present my work on dengue and yellow fever at @AmerSocVirol conference in Madison! My poster will be up on July 17th (Exhibit Hall B, P6) and I will be available for discussion from 8:30-10:00pm!
Looking forward to meeting fellow virologists!

[The Menachery Lab @TheMenacheryLab]

We are looking to expand our work on #SARSCoV2 and #COVID19.

Projects include both virus-oriented & host-oriented studies.
