Exciting few weeks, as I will soon become the new GSK Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID), @Cambridge_Uni @MedCambridge
🎉
And our BTN3A3 work was published in @Nature (doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-0…)

Just published in @NatureComms!
We show that Usutu virus is the only mosquito-borne flavivirus to resist ISG20-mediated inhibition, thanks to a unique domain in its 3'UTR that protects its genome from degradation.
A project led by @JimZPhD at @IRIM_life.

Why do people seem to be getting sick more often now?
For yet another year we are already seeing earlier and significantly higher hospital admissions for respiratory illness than pre-pandemic levels. Are there new mysterious pathogens starting to attack us now? 🧵1/

Please RT. Are you interested in how viruses emerge in humans? We're looking for a postdoctoral investigator to join us and lead exciting projects investigating innate immune barriers to the emergence and pathogenesis of viruses.

It was an honour representing the @CVRinfo @UofGlasgow at the @Els_Vaccine 17th Vaccine Congress, here in Glasgow! As a non-vaccinologist I got to learn a great lot about vaccines from all the other speakers! #17VaccineCongress

In 1986 Staeheli et al seminal MX1 paper noted re: IFN/ISGs “it is not known...how many of these proteins are required for protection against a particular virus”. 37 yrs later, Phd student @mattbmcdoug's new paper shines a light. 1/3

The Greek island of Rhodes continues to burn. My wife @theodora_nyc was supposed to be on vacation, visiting her family, but instead helping with the relief effort

😖. Leaflet circulated to parents last week from Scottish government/NHS telling parents NOT to get kids tested if they have symptoms like runny nose or sneezing.

*sigh* youngest is covid . That's ~60% of the class now, most of whom have taken it home & infected their (thankfully mainly vaccinated) families. Remind me again how kids don't matter because they don't spread it or get sick? Roll on the family-wide long covid lottery!

Please reconsider this tweet and clarify. Vaccines may not be sterilising but they are incredibly effective at reducing transmission.

Adam. This is not accurate or helpful.
REACT report out this week clearly shows protection from transmission in vaccinees, albeit with some concerns around waning.
It is also the case that exposure is at shockingly high levels, no doubt playing a role.
