Sharing the latest research from our lab in partnership with the @BarrLab. We show that antiviral #APOBEC3 proteins alter integration sites of #HIV1 to favor less active areas in our genome - a potential contribution for APOBEC3 proteins to HIV1 latency.

.@WesternU researchers are hunting for coronaviruses in bats with potential for human transmission. Teaming up with biologists from @ROMtoronto, they are examining bat samples from around the world - the first step toward establishing a vaccine bank to tackle future pandemics.

This is not a joke. This is not a drill. #COVID19 is spreading widely & you need to pay attention.
Cancel parties and ALL get-togethers. That means movie nights, games nights, study groups - being around anyone who is not your roommate or significant other.

Researchers at @WesternU are mobilizing efforts to establish and test a vaccine for #COVID19, with new funding from @CIHR_IRSC. The team is also developing a ‘vaccine bank’ for different strains of coronavirus. mediarelations.uwo.ca/2020/0…
