Happy Graduation Day! We’re proud to spotlight our graduate, Caroline Page, who earned her Ph.D. in Infectious Diseases. After graduation, she will begin a postdoctoral research position at Mount Sinai in Manhattan! We can’t wait to see what you achieve! #UGAVetMed #UGAIDIS

Congratulations to the research team on their recent publication in Nature, titled "Receptor-binding specificity of a bovine influenza A virus" 💯🦠🐮 #InfluenzaResearch #CollaborativeScience @tompkins_lab @ugavetmed @UGAResearch nature.com/articles/s4158…

Influenza A & B viruses cause up to 710,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths annually in the US. However, research from #UGAVetMed Ph.D student Caroline K. Page predicts that Influenza B—which only infects humans—could be on the brink of disappearing. -- ugavetmed.com/429nh7E

Congratulations Professor Rohani. Well deserved!

A lot of hard work by a great trainee (looking for their next training opportunity) and fantastic team of collaborators. We're working on making flu B a bit better understood

Crazy. But influenza can replicate in crocodilians as my friend @tompkins_lab has shown experimentally. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25380354/

The Center for Vaccines & Immunology at the University of Georgia is recruiting an Asst or Assoc Professor Immunologist! Details on the position & how to apply can be found here: ugajobsearch.com/postings/409748. You can learn more about UGA & Athens here: hr.uga.edu/Prospective_Em…

Honored to share that @PasteurCambodia worked closely with partners in Vietnam and @FAOAsiaPacific #ECTAD to sequence the recent #avianinfluenza infections in #tigers and #leopards. Collaborative efforts ensured #rapidresponse to support global understanding.

Since the outbreak of H5N1, #UGAVetMed has partnered with the @US_FDA to test and secure the nation’s dairy supply. Dr. Mark Tompkins and his team at @CIDER_UGA are working to reduce the threat of avian influenza to human & animal health. -- ugavetmed.com/3XVHRqg

The final talk from the team attending and rocking @options2024. Great job!

Great presentation in the late breaker session by Justin Shepard @tompkins_lab @options2024 what do these cow influenza viruses bind to? People lining up with questions!!

Great presentation by @jdeanshepard on Day 4 of @options2024
