Meriam Guellil PhD

Now on bluesky under @meriamguellil.bsky.social!

Out now! Screening great apes from museum collections to find viruses! with @PinhasiL @MarquesBonetLab @Meriam_MG @kguschan et al. rdcu.be/d1UsZ

Discover our results of the largest ancient DNA study ever conducted on a single burial site 🧬: 400 skeletons from the Belgian city Sint-Truiden (8th–18th century). A unique glimpse into 1000 years of genetic history. (1/9) @CHG_CME @KU_Leuven

Truly excited and grateful to recieve one @ERC_Research StG. A carrear dream that comes true. Very soon I will be announcing positions at @univienna :)

Our new preprint is out 🚨 "2500 Years of Human Betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B Evolution Revealed by Ancient DNA". 🦴Featuring samples from the medieval graveyard of Sint-Truiden! 👏Great work by @Meriam_MG and colleagues! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Two more human herpesviruses the ancient DNA club - HHV-6A and 6B. These viruses integrate into the telomeres (caps on the end of chromosomes) and a small % of people carry these viruses in EVERY nucleated cell in their body and can pass them on to their offspring.

I am incredibly happy to share our preprint on the first 11 ancient Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A &B) genomes! This was a work done in collaboration with many amazing colleagues! Special shout out to @LucyvanDorp, @DrCJ_Houldcroft and @LehtiSaag! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally our ancient DNA study on Merovingian Flanders is out @PNASNews! Discover our surprising capture of a fusion of 2 genetic ancestries on coastal Koksijde (Belgium) in 675-750 AD #EarlyMiddelAges Our paper 👉 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/9 @KU_Leuven @CHG_CME (Photo: @vioe)

It was lovely to welcome #irinavelsko in Vienna on Tuesday. Thank you for the great talk @HeasVienna #AncientGenomics seminar! (with @peregx9 and Michelle Hämmerle after a Dinner in the City Center)

#IrinaVelsko being introduced by @Meriam_MG as part of the #HEASSeminar in #AncientGenomics taking place now online and in-person at @univienna

We are looking forward to welcoming #IrinaVelsko to #HEASVienna next Tuesday the 21st May at 10:30 CEST as part of the #HEASSeminar series in #AncientGenomics. More information and registeration on our website 🔗👇 heas.at/events/heas-se…
