Magnifique #ASV2025 meeting in Montreal, Canada! #JVIEditors in the house enjoying good food and great company. Find a JVI Editor and say hello before #ASV2025 ends
Not from the roslin institute, but phenomenal UK based scientist nonetheless, Rachael Dempsey from the @HiscoxLab at @LivUni. So cool to see some UK-based MERS-CoV Spike characterisation. So so good! #asv2025
Sauhard from the lab absolutely aced his presentation today at #ASV2025 meeting. His first international meeting. So proud. #LoveVirology #LZCI @Shri_Sauhard 👏🏾

As part of the recruitment committee for our Canada Excellence Research Chair, I took an hour today for this excellent, fact-based training 👏 Thank you @IRSC_CIHR, @SSHRC_CRSH & @NSERC_CRSNG! Curious about the position? Check out the CERC in Urban Agroecology here:…

Out Now! Ecology and evolutionary trajectories of morbilliviruses in Neotropical bats bit.ly/452MTX6 #Ecology #Evolution #Morbillivirus
The data from NiV outbreaks of Kerala state indicated that AES-predominant outbreaks (2019, 2021, and 2024) had shown no human-to-human transmission compared to ARDS-predominant outbreaks (2001, 2007, 2018, and 2023).

🚨 New publication out today. Bats are over 1480 species. In this latest article, we discuss the diversity within bats and their immune systems. Elegantly led by the Becker and Frank laboratories. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny…
Very excited to share the published results of the Phase I clinical trial of our next-gen inhaled COVID-19 vaccine @NatureComms - designed, tested, manufactured and trialed all @McMasterU!!! Proud of everyone on the large team that has made this happen! rdcu.be/eusbp
🚨Second study from the lab. @CellReports SARS-CoV- and SARS-CoV-2-like viruses are found in insectivorous bats, but the antiviral responses in these bats remain less studied. Here we show how bat cells respond to SARS-CoV-2 and shed light on virus entry. cell.com/cell-reports/f…
