First paper with the lab's affiliation!! ✨✨ summarising some of the cool concepts that the Antigen Evolution & Design Lab will be working on! Together with amazing collaborators @Mahan_Ghafari and Joe Grove @CVRinfo annualreviews.org/content/jo… 🧵🧵

Studying the Deep Evolution of Viruses in the Era of Artificial Intelligence Structure Prediction

High mutation rates erode viral sequence similarity, obscuring deep evolutionary history. While protein structure is far more conserved than sequence, its use in evolutionary studies has historically...

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard

Stop for a second and imagine: a heat shock protein relocalizes to the cell surface and mediates dsRNA binding and internalization! Intrigued? Read our newly minted paper in @ScienceAdvances science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… Congrats to all the authors and thanks to reviewers and editor!

Hsc70-4: An unanticipated mediator of dsRNA internalization in Drosophila

Hsc70-4 localizes to the cell surface of Drosophila cells, binds to exogenous dsRNA, and mediates its internalization.

Check our latest opinion piece, just out in @TrendsMicrobiol! We delve into how the antiviral RNase ISG20 targets viral RNA and how some viruses escape it. @IRIM_life @CIRI_Lyon @CNRSbiologie @Inserm cell.com/trends/microbiology…

Just published in @NatureComms! We show that Usutu virus is the only mosquito-borne flavivirus to resist ISG20-mediated inhibition, thanks to a unique domain in its 3'UTR that protects its genome from degradation. A project led by @JimZPhD at @IRIM_life. rdcu.be/dVMK1
