Well done Gabo - great to see this over the line. Nice example of the role pathogen genomics can play to help inform public health responses to emerging infections @nvrlucdireland@hpscireland
BA.2, driven to near-zero levels by BA.5, still haunt us, spawning monstrous viruses that, after vanishing for months, burst forth, gnarled & hideous, in novel antibody armor. The latest, which I found skulking around India, has 13 spike mutations. 1/28 https://t.co/furk5Q5eRM
Dr Eva Lles (France), Dr Dan Hare (Dublin), Dr Meghan Guilfoyle (Canada) conferred with doctorates @UL today. Congratulations to them, their families & their supervisors! @MedicineAtUL @iscm_micro @ULHospitals @nvrlucdireland
It was a pleasure to present on the success of our “Pathogen Genomics an introduction for clinicians” training day at the inaugural COP meeting @t3connect@sangerinstitute wouldn’t have been possible without a great team. @CarinaBrehony@daniel_hare1
What’s new in the world of SARS-CoV-2 accessory proteins? In this 🧵, I’ll recap their evolution so far & describe a possible new trend: partial or total deletion of ORF7a, ORF7b, & ORF8—particularly in GW.5.1.1, an XBB.1.19 + FLip lineage—plus an ORF9b/N bonus TRS surprise! 1/45
And we are off! The first “Pathogen Genomics an Introduction for Clinicians” training day. Delighted to welcome trainees from across the country, north and south! @FfitzP@RCSI_Micro@RCSI_Irl@t3connect
