Excited to start my lab at @OVCPathobiology in September. I am looking for highly motivated graduate students @uofg @UofG_MCB @thebiomeder to work in my lab on exciting virology, cell death, immunology and cancer research. Feel free to dm me. Please RT.

#EIDD2801, a potential orally efficacious Rx for #COVID19, is now in Phase II clinical trials. https://t.co/sFedUKV4qv Better than #remdesivir? Almost assuredly so. There, I said it. Why? Because the science is rigorous, the data robust & the Mechsnism of Action known. (1/n)
