Mourning the loss of Dr. Diane Griffin, who passed away on Monday.
Dr. Griffin was a founding member of @CMM_JHU and chaired our advisory board. A distinguished virologist, she was an elected member of Natl Acad Sci and Natl Acad Med. We remember her with gratitude.

New preprint from the lab describing how most poxviruses, including avipoxviruses, antagonise DNA-PK to block cGAS/STING-dependent interferon production during infection. Is this a stalemate in the molecular host/pathogen arms race?biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
