Happy to share latest paper at @scienceTM from our Prometheus consortium on broadly neutralizing antibodies against emerging hantaviruses from human convalescent donors. We're especially excited about one particular antibody we've identified. bit.ly/3JkMly7 1/10

Harnessing structural and functional techniques, researchers identify and optimize a pan #hantavirus antibody that can protect rodents against infections with the evolutionarily distinct Puumala virus & Andes virus. @MittlerEva @Guardado_Calvo @EinsteinMed scim.ag/32K

New paper from @taaron24 and co-authors which shows how TNFalpha inflammation reduces antibody duration by driving plasma cells out of the bone marrow. Thanks to our collaborators in @ChandranLab lab.

We have a post-doc position open in my new group at the Institut Pasteur. If you or someone you know is interested in structural virology, this is a great opportunity! We offer a great working environment and good resources to help you succeed in your research.

Well, Omicron variant evolution is officially off the chart in terms of number of mutations.
ALT Phylogeny of SARS-CoV-2 variants scaled to divergence.
Hope pan-Ebola cocktail MBP134, discovered by @ZABornholdt, @AnnaWec1, @LauraWa27423872, @RobertWCross, @bmgunn31++others, developed by Mapp+@BARDA, makes it into people. Single dose reverses severe Sudan virus disease in nonhuman primates. In Phase I rn. tinyurl.com/ynhdrjan
With 64 probable infections and 30 deaths across 5 districts, the Ebola outbreak in Uganda is already one of the largest on record.
See why @DanielBausch2, @BrakaFiona, @ChandranLab, and Gary Kobinger are worried in my latest for @Nature:

Last Monday my PhD advisor, Marc Caron, died suddenly. Everyone who knew him is grieving. He was a phenomenal family man, mentor, and scientist.
Hearing stories throughout the week has been helping me cope so I wanted to share some of my fav Marc memories

The Best Scientists 🧵
I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑🔬
Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆
And everybody respects them.
