Okay, I just found out that my FIU email account has also been closed since I graduated a couple of years ago. Great... ☹️
Please contact me through rlei00155@gmail.com instead, my colleagues, and friends.

1st paper in 2023 is out now @CellReports! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We performed the first DMS of human influenza H3N2 neuraminidase head domain and advances our understanding of the evolutionary potential of NA, therefore, providing insights into NA-based vaccine design.

Our department at the U. Florida is hiring an assistant professor in Virology. We are particularly interested in RNA viruses and RNA biology but will also consider any cool virology research program. Come join us, it is a great supportive department.

The peer-reviewed version of this study is now published in @ImmunityCP. The comments from the editor and three anonymous reviewers were very constructive and helped us improve the manuscript.

Our new study led by @Yiquan_W & @menz45 thoroughly analyzed the common sequence features of SARS2 spike (S) antibodies and did some deep learning, using the info of ~8000 S antibodies from >200 individuals across 88 publications and 13 patents. (1/14) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our new study led by @RuipengUIUC shows that many natural mutations of human H3N2 NA are deleterious for an ancestral strain. Permissive mutations were systematically identified. Mechanisms were determined, including a 1.4 Å crystal structure.

More experts agree with @UofIllinois' @_chris_brooke and @rlsdvm_epivet that saliva samples catch COVID-19 virus earlier than nasal. That's one of the reasons why our covidSHIELD test identifies positives & can help slow virus spread. nytimes.com/2022/01/14/healt…
