Shmulevitz Lab

Located at the University of Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 Research focused on reovirus 🦠 oncolytics, evolution, and assembly.

[Shmulevitz Lab @ShmulevitzL]

Catch the lab at #CSV2024!
@justinebrooke_ presented her work on reovirus factory dynamics as a talk yesterday morning, Spencer & Maia presented their work as posters last night, and @dirkbltaal and Qi Feng are you for posters this afternoon!

Homemade 12 well suction contraption … if anyone can make a 3D printer design to print something like out .. please share with me as it would be great to not have the duct tape lol.

Check out our current research presented by our trainees at the upcoming #ASV2023

Justine: Reovirus assembly
Qi Feng Lin: Sewage virus adaptation
Dirk Taal: Tackling oncolytic barriers
Maia Finch: Switching up viral epitopes

🎆Final story from my PhD work published @JVirology. We uncover the pivotal role of p38MAPK signaling during oncolytic reovirus replication and show the p38b-MAPK11 isoform correlates with reovirus infection in various cancer cells and could be a potential prognostic marker 1/2

[JVirology Editors @JVirology]

#jvirology Editor's Pick: Mohamed et al. (@ViroAdil, @Offey4, @ShmulevitzL) unravel the roles of p38 MAPK signaling during oncolytic reovirus infection & propose the inclusion of p38b(MAPK11) as a prognostic marker in patient stratification. https://t.co/cZe6DNYrRC

#JVirology SPOTLIGHTs from Shmulevitz lab! Closely related Reovirus T3D lab strains have different oncolytic activities in vitro and in vivo suggesting viral genomic diversity may impact therapeutic activity of oncolytic viruses. https://t.co/NNoC0F8c6D https://t.co/ioG8uNxMBW
