Earlier this week, Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of $TNXP, presented data on the Company's potential #mpox vaccine at the @UTSWMedCenter Symposium Microbiology Seminar Series, held in Dallas, Tex. The presentation, titled “Resurrecting Dr. Edward Jenner’s 1798 Horsepox Vaccine to Protect Against Mpox and Smallpox,” focused on recent TNX-801 findings that are consistent with mucosal immunity and suggest the ability to block forward transmission, similar to Dr. Edward Jenner’s vaccine, which eradicated smallpox and kept #mpox out of the human population.

Come be my colleague!
I've been very, very happy at UTSW Micro.
Supportive environment. Strong ambition. Strong empathy. Excellent resources.
Check out Julie's thread for some statistics, financial incentives, and (bonus) grant-writing tips!
Faculty search announcement: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Microbiology at UT Southwestern. We seek candidates working in microbial pathogenesis (some preference may be given to bacterial pathogens). Come join our community! (1/5)

What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

My review about “The HIV-1 transcriptional program” for the @JMolBiol special issue on transcription elongation is now out: doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2024.1…. I provide a 4 decades historical recount from mechanistic insights to implications for viral latency and cure. Thanks @NIAID!

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.

I’m excited to share a new manuscript from my PhD! doi.org/10.1101/2024.04.06.5…
We performed a genome-wide optical pooled screen (OPS) and identified hundreds of novel Ebola virus regulators.

Don Gammon - Early viral gene expression triggers nuclear accumulation of SUMOylated Spt16 subunits of FACT - a chromatin remodeling pathway that regulates eukaryotic gene transcription. Suggests FACT pathway may be critical for antiviral immunity #EESImmunity

We're hiring new faculty!
The Microbiology Dept. at UT Southwestern has a tenure-track position in bacterial pathogenesis, very broadly defined.
I joined Micro under 1 year ago and love the Dept. Happy to answer any ?s about Micro, UTSW, or Dallas.
