🚨 New paper out!
"A single mutation in an enteric virus alters tropism and sensitivity to microbiota"
One tiny change, big consequences.
A great collab with the Julie Pfeiffer lab!

Graduate student Myles Steed studies how reoviruses use host factors for replication and form viral factories in cells. Outside the lab, he enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and collecting books (always open to recommendations!). linkedin.com/in/myles-steed-…
