“We believe this insight will be crucial for the development of future HIV therapies that employ combinations of antibodies that can exert orthogonal selective pressure on the virus."

Take a look at our new Giotto Suite spatial analysis platform and preprint! So grateful to work with such an amazing team. We started working on this massive project when I started my lab at @BUMedicine and @The_BMC in August 2020. Amazing collaboration with @gc_yuan lab.
Dear spatial afficionados, check out our latest contribution to the spatial data analysis landscape. In this work we present Giotto Suite, our completely new ecosystem designed to work with the most exciting and challenging spatial datasets. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Great opportunity to work on exciting science with a fantastic group of people!
Our lab, along with the Mulhberger lab and @Crittermechanic lab, is recruiting a post-doc to study Nipah virus infection @neidl @BUMedicine. If you want to work on henipaviruses in a BSL-4 lab, using cool ipsc-derived systems and humanized mouse models, please reach out.

1/ excited to share a new preprint describing T-cell responses to Omicron. We find that circulating effector & memory T cell reactivity to the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant are preserved in most but not all prior infected and vaccinated individuals.

Two new studies on #Omicron tell us how individuals vaccinated 3x with mRNA vaccines or those with mixed vaccination may be better protected. What does this mean for the #COVID19 pandemic? Read more: bit.ly/3EDxv2i @BalazsLab bit.ly/32M3FM5 @snpoehlm #SARSCoV2

In this new pre-print, using a human mAb from a COVID-19 donor, we define a coronavirus spike S2 bnAb site conserved across beta-CoVs.
A protective broadly cross-reactive human antibody defines a conserved site of vulnerability on beta-coronavirus spikes biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
