Really exciting to have this study published! We found that #SARSCoV2 can infect Syncytiotrophoblasts of the #placenta leading to de-differentiation and loss of hCG expression. @TheDohertyInst @MonashUni @UniofAdelaide

New research from our lab showing the importance of studying several cells types types in parallel when investigating potential therapeutic options against SARS-CoV-2.

Thanks @AusVirologySoc for a great conference. Had so much fun catching up with familiar faces, meeting some new ones, and presenting my poster here with Kanta Subbarao! #AVS11

The Subbarao lab @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS has developed stem cell derived lung🫁, heart🫀, kidney and placental organoids to study #SARSCoV2 infection 🦠 and test antivirals 💊.

🎥🫀cardiac cultures contracting. 🦠 infection stops this contraction and kills cardiac cells.

Good afternoon!
I’m Matt (@GartnerM94), a Post-Doc 👨🏻‍🔬in Kanta Subbarao’s lab at @TheDohertyInst @UniMelb🔬
I’m your #ASV11 ambassador for the week.
I’ll be tweeting about some our labs cool research on respiratory viruses 🦠

New preprint alert! Interested in how inflammation is triggered in COVID-19? Us too… so we asked why macrophages aren’t infected with SARS-CoV-2 and why they don’t trigger an anti-viral and pro-inflammatory response. https://t.co/GXt8j2YyXU

Yeah but was it really an earthquake I mean how much can we trust these seismologists anyway. I’ve read articles about seismologists who’ve been silenced about the real earthquakes that occur that the government tries to keep quiet
