We're a molecular and structural virology lab working mainly on influenza @Dunn_School, @UniofOxford

Cryo-EM structure reveals how influenza A virus NEP binds the viral polymerase at a regulatory hotspot, coordinating RNA synthesis and nuclear export. Great teamwork of @RepAlison @FangzhengWang @Husky17146986 @CarriqueLoic @jonathan_grimes https://t.co/E8uhaXtGFh

Very happy to have been able to contribute to this study that was published today in Science, which was truly a great collaborative effort. Avian PB1 provides a fitness advantage to IAV at febrile-range temperatures both in vitro and vivo 🦠 #flu #virology

Officially starting my DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics in @AchillesKap and @fodorlab ! A collaborative project to understand influenza dynamics. Excited to see where this project goes!

Congratulations @AlexBoRNA!

[Biochemical Society @BiochemSoc]

Congratulations to @AlexBoRNA who presented the 2025 Colworth Medal Lecture today! Alex discussed how his work positions viral replication organelles as tractable systems for dissecting the biophysical principles underpinning RNA selection and turnover #BiochemAwards

🚨🔎 Out now in @PLOSPathogens! 🔎🚨 This project has taken us @CVRinfo @UofGMVLS on a wild and wonderful journey. I am excited to share our story of how influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit cell death to facilitate its covert spread. N/1 https://t.co/tA89zMQMAH

[Fodor Laboratory @fodorlab]

There is still time to apply; join our team to work on influenza virus replication mechanisms!

[Fodor Laboratory @fodorlab]

📢 Exciting job opportunities!📢

Two postdoc positions are available in our lab at @Dunn_School to study influenza virus transcription, genome replication, nuclear export and assembly.

Europe needs a sustainably funded influenza research and response network - especially in the light of H5N1 and current developments in the US. Read our commentary in The Lancet ID:

Very concerning to see a second introduction of H5N1 I to dairy cattle. It’s been reported to be from the D1.1 genotype which is widely circulating in birds in North America. It will be critical to examine the sequences for signs of host adaptation 🦠🐄

Decoding viruses. Defying limits. 🦠🔍

Prof @wendybarclay11 has dedicated her career to unpicking viral mysteries.

Now, she's been appointed Regius Professor—the first woman to hold the prestigious title at @imperialcollege ⤵️ #WomenInSTEM

Virologist Wendy Barclay: ‘Wild avian viruses are mixing up their genetics all the time. It’s like viral sex on steroids’ Always worth listening to ⁦@wendybarclay11⁩ ⁦@imperialcollege⁩ https://t.co/cGouHyDfKS

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

Interested in joining our growing interdisciplinary team studying viruses, RNA, and condensates? Looking for a postdoctoral position? Please consider joining us in Cambridge, UK, or drop us a line to discuss these opportunities: https://t.co/Vs4TBcx5O5

[Stephanie L. Williams, D.Phil @StephLeeann95]

Just published—avian origin and pandemic PB1 genes from influenza A viruses influence replication and pathogenesis in an avian influenza viirus. Happy for this story to be out and thank you to my co-authors 🦠 #influenza #virology #womeninSTEM
