Studying host pathways that are critical for viral infection to reveal virus host relationships, illuminate basic cellular biology, and inform antiviral design
Finally! It is happening! After 6 years of hard work by formidable teams in 13 institutions @RESOLUTE_IMI, we have ordered and validated the results and are able to share the FOUR (4) papers aimed at assigning functional properties to each human SLC #membranetransporter
Thrilled to see our paper "A Proximity Proteomics Pipeline with Improved Reproducibility and Throughput" published! It describes the automated enrichment of biotinylated proteins in a 96-well plate format for spatial proteomics and protein interactions.

Check our recent publication about how the antibody response to Omicron-based boosters in humans is imprinted by immunizations with historical mRNA-1273 vaccines. Congrats to Chieh-Yu! #WUSM#COVIDnature.com/articles/s41586-0β¦
Congrats to Wenjie & team! Excited to share the the work entitled, "MYADM binds human parechovirus 1 and is essential for viral entry" that was published in Nature Communications today. Credit to all authors!Β

Excited to shared our latest manuscript describing the discovery of a receptor for parechoviruses rdcu.be/dFTMO. Parechoviruses belong to the same family as poliovirus and are increasingly linked to neurological disease. (1/2)
The Lapointe Lab @FredHutch in Seattle has two openings for postdoctoral scholars to examine mRNA & translational control using single-molecule or high-throughput (co-mentored w/ @arvind_rasi) approaches.

Deep sadness over @BrettLindenbachβs passing π
His love of virology was truly inspiring.
Please consider supporting Brettβs legacy by contributing to the Brett Lindenbach Virology Fund, to help train the next generation of scientists in virology.

Please share! We're recruiting a tenure-track junior faculty member to join our Institute Scholar community at Sarafan ChEM-H @Stanford! We encourage applicants working at the interface of science, engineering, & medicine to apply: stanford.io/3PXaznX
Check out this work from our lab on genome-wide single-gene CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screens to comprehensively interrogate CFTR- F508del ERAD. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/β¦
We love genetic approaches to define virus:host interactions. Knockout screens are powerful, but...technical constraints limit what you can find. Could we devise a screen where viral fitness pinpoints the key regulators of replication? (spoiler - yes cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fβ¦) 1/10
Congratulations to Professor Ann Palmenberg, who retires this week after more than 40 years @UWBiochem & @MadisonVirology!
Palmenberg built her lab & career around unveiling the enzymes & mechanisms responsible for controlling viruses. Her research established the foundation β‘οΈ
I had the pleasure to review the lysosomal enzyme trafficking pathway and its role in genetic diseases, cancer and viral infections with two leading experts, Thomas Braulke and Jan Carette @CaretteLab for @TrendsCellBio.

Excited to share our labs first @Nature paper! In collaboration with @VintherLab we show that hepatitis C virus #RNA is capped with FAD protecting it from innate immune sensing. rdcu.be/df8p5 Congrats Anna Sherwood and Lizandro Rivera-Rangel ππ»πΎ #HCV@UCPH_health
