Fresh off the press from our Lab! Check it out! First author from @patjmadden with @mmcraven53 @mshoaib_arif @MarkEBecker @AnnMarieCarias @GFPvirus describing a crazy, cool probe to detect sites of #SARSCoV2 infection! #Science

Just in time for Christmas. Paper describing the first phase of our efforts to develop a probe to detect sites of SARS-CoV-2 infection anywhere in the body. Check it out. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…. PS: The radio-labeled probe works! Get ready! Cool and very scary at the same time

Another day in the Hope Lab, another day of spinning mucus balls from @MarkEBecker #Science #SoCool
Nothing like spinning up a nice ball of mucus at the end of a long hard experiment. Differentiated human airway epithelium, ~80 hrs. #FluorescenceFriday

ALT a swirl of mucus a few mm across spins in a circle, pulling additional bits of mucus from the edges as it goes. looks like the eye of jupiter but fast.

We are excited to finally get this out! Check out our publication on how Abs get to the vaginal vault! HINT: It takes ~1wk for IgG saturation of squamous tissues. Also, it's in a two-step phase: convective extravasation followed by epithelial differentiation!
New @J_Immunol publication from @HopeLab_NU's @AnnMarieCarias @patjmadden @GFPvirus on how therapeutic IgG antibodies distribute in vaginal and other squamous tissues! #Science #antibodies #HIV jimmunol.org/content/early/2…

Thank you, Tahmina Sultana from @HopeLab_NU, for sharing your “Why I Got Vaccinated” story! “As a medical researcher, as a virologist, I think it’s very important to use all the miracles of medical science.” @NUFeinbergMed #VaccinesWork youtu.be/ZaWhHBj5s2s

Roslyn Taylor, @HopeLab_NU and colleagues @NUFeinbergMed use multiple imaging techniques to determine how #HIV travels throughout the colon once introduced into the body and how dIgA influences HIV movement in the rectum. buff.ly/2Ts0RPm

Best put by our chair, @mliarispe, “change isn’t passive, it’s intentional, it requires purpose and perseverance”. CDB_NU fully supports #BLM and today we’re stepping away from science to reflect on how we can make meaningful changes to support this movement in STEM #ShutDownSTEM

Due to #SARSCoV2 we have decided to cancel the 2020 #HIV Mucosal Systems Meeting. We believe this is the right decision given the circumstances. We thank our colleagues, trainees and community for contributing to this meeting and look forward to seeing all of you in 2021.
The 3rd annual HIV MUCOSAL SYSTEMS MEETING is being held on April 21-23, 2020 in Chicago. Abstract submission open. More details at feinberg.northwestern.edu/si……. Travel scholarships for students and young investigators. #HIV #immunology #microbiome

The ‘London Patient,’ only the second person to be cured of H.I.V., steps forward to tell his story. Truly stirring, and a fantastic scoop by @apoorva_nyc nyti.ms/39Bn68S

The retrovirus conference, #CROI will be held virtually due to increasing concerns that travel to a large group gathering is not advisable from a personal and public health perspective. A sound decision by smart infectious disease experts. #COVID19
Sign of the times: CROI, the retrovirus conference, is going virtual. Slated to start Mon., organizers are now telling attendees not to travel to Boston. #Covid19 is going to be so hard on the travel/hospitality industries. And the people who work in them. croiconference.org/march-6-2…
