Just saw a fascinating talk from @anice_lowen at @options2024 on within-host viral dispersal using a barcoded flu model. Cool work! Preprint available here https://t.co/Yl1IRfCVKB

[Lucas Ferreri 🇦🇷 ☮️ @LucasFerreri1]

New preprint! We aim to understand how influenza virus dispersal shapes evolutionary potential within the respiratory tract. https://t.co/qDtqf9UHMF

In @NatureComms we examine the pandemic potential of swine alpha del H1N2 - we developed a triage pipeline to assess pandemic risks (fig 2), and tested airborne transmission in the context of pre-existing human H1N1 and H3N2 immunity. https://t.co/pkIdPqAJD6
