Excited to share our preprint demonstrating how fumarate metabolism by host and pathogen promotes pneumonia! Itaconate synergizes with fumarate, driving staphylococcal adaptation for survival.

Our new study @JCI_insight shows that previous SARS-CoV-2 infection protects against severe disease even with minimally detectable neutralizing antibodies.

The #COVID19 pandemic forced the world to reevaluate outbreak and pandemic preparedness, prevention and response.
Pandemic preparedness must be constant.
Excellent first day of this #MERS and emerging zoonotic CoV meeting …
26 Nov 2023
Just arrived in Riyadh🇸🇦for the Quadripartite Global Technical Meeting on
#MERS & Other Emerging Zoonotic CoV
Increased 🌍🌎🌎capacities to prevent & tackle #COVID19 can be applied to prevent other pathogens with epidemic & pandemic potential

Our new paper on Betacoronavirus Internal protein is out in @mbiojournal. We showed that Internal proteins (8b for MERS-CoV and 9b for SARS-CoV-2) have distinct roles in pathogenesis in our CoV mouse models.

Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 spike allow the virus to evade antibody recognition. Many mutations in the S1 subunit escape neutralization, and are key determinants in the antigenic drift of S. We asked if mutations in the S2 subunit play a role in the antigenic drift of S. (1/8)

Our paper in collaboration with Markus Hoffmann and Stefan Pohlmann @uniGoettingen on characterizing Omicron subvariant Spike is out now in @NatureComms.

We found that BA.5 Spike causes more efficient cell fusion than earlier Omicron sublineages....
