Impressive data presented by @ManonLaporte18 from the @neyts_johan lab with the bsl3 high throughput screening robot that I am so jealous of ;). 👏

We just published in @cellhostmicrobe @CellPressNews
(special series "Lessons from the Pandemic") our view on the role of #antiviral drugs for #epidemic and #pandemic #preparedness

Unfortunately for all of us excited for snow, the first forecasted snow of the season will turn to rain pretty quickly, with some other severe weather expected...🧵

While the last steps are proving to be the toughest, I’m optimistic we will eradicate polio. I recently visited @KU_Leuven’s Rega Institute where they’re testing preventative medicine – an important step toward a polio-free world.

Infection % per age group among school-attending children in Flanders (Belgium) 10/25-11/07. Vaccination available and face masks are required in schools for kids >10y. The numbers speak for themselves. #VaccinesWork #MaskingForAFriend (Source:https://t.co/oZ2Qawkz8Z)

Proud to share my first-author paper! Thanks so much to my great mentors @TeresaAydillo and Adolfo Garcia-Sastre and the amazing cleavage team: @gonzalezreiche @KroganLab @ManonLaporte18 @VivianaSimonLab @gogo_science ...

Beyond their fight against #COVID19, Drs. Palese, @florian_krammer, and Garcia-Sastre are making great strides in developing a universal influenza vaccine. Read more in our Science and Medicine Magazine: https://t.co/ztdM7zmWVb

In 🇧🇪, 10,000 #cyclists are injured in accidents every year. A #helmet helps to prevent #head injuries, but it could be better. @AndreaMenichet4 studies how much our brain can deform before getting injured as to develop even safer helmets 🚴🏽‍♂️🧠

Now more than ever ready to start my adventure @IcahnMountSinai next Monday!

[ManonLaporte18 @ManonLaporte18]

Extra special feeling since this paper was accepted during my final week with my previous group at the Rega Institute @KU_Leuven in Belgium.

[ManonLaporte18 @ManonLaporte18]

Very happy to share our now published work on protease✂️ and temperature 🌡️ dependence of coronavirus spike proteins and the impact of D614G and S1/S2 cleavage site mutations on SARS-CoV-2 entry. @KU_Leuven @DPZ_eu

[PLOS Pathogens @PLOSPathogens]

The #SARSCoV2 and other human coronavirus #spike proteins are fine-tuned towards temperature and proteases of the human airways.

Seeking a postdoc in emerging viruses? in Alaska!? We have 2 upcoming! (1) immediate need: #COVID19 @nanopore sequencing, phylogenetics, diagnostics (auth. work in US). (2) respiratory virus human study/genomics data analysis. [email protected] #LoveVirology @ceirsinfluenza

[Michael Schotsaert @mschotsaert]

It is my pleasure to share our latest work with the N501Y SARS-CoV-2 virus. The N501Y mutation in SARS-CoV-2 spike leads to morbidity in obese and aged mice and is neutralized by convalescent and post-vaccination human sera https://t.co/Jwmbgsrzfd

Doing the crucial experiment that could mess up your hypothesis

[Guy Baele @GuyBaele]

In response to media reports during the weekend: the D614G mutation has been dominant in Belgium since the end of June 2020, which our custom Belgian @nextstrain build (online soon) clearly shows via the yellow circles, with only 4 N501Y mutations being detected (not shown; GDPR)

[ManonLaporte18 @ManonLaporte18]

I went for a walk and made some pictures. One of them looks like a cryo- EM of a flu particle to me. Or am I just missing this virus too much?🤔

[ManonLaporte18 @ManonLaporte18]

This is extremely exciting and impressive work.

[Florian Krammer @florian_krammer]

1) Finally this it out. It took a few years of my life to get this into clinical trials (with the help of many others). A first step towards the clinical development of universal influenza virus vaccines. With Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, Peter Palese.
