Happy #WomenInScience Day! 🥳👩‍🔬 celebrating the fantastic women in our lab...past, present and future!🧬🧪🧫🔬

[Stern-Ginossar lab @SGinossarLab]

Excited to share our new paper @elife. Great work by Miri Shnayder and Aharon Nachshon showing that HCMV drives latently infected hematopoietic cells towards a weaker immune-responsive state.

🔟0️⃣0️⃣😱 To celebrate here's two pics of me taken by my folks who find visiting the lab super exciting 💙
L: My honours undergrad research year in Sydney
R: At my postdoc in Stockholm, 6 yrs, 2 theses, and a lot of science later
Wonder where the next photo will be...

Great new work from @VZVCMVlab PhD student @ChelseaGerada1!

[Chelsea Gerada @ChelseaGerada1]

Thrilled to get my paper accepted into #JVirol today!
I characterised granzyme B cleavage of some #HSV and #VZV proteins and related this to the ability to inhibit #NKcell cytotoxicity
