Congratulations to Claire Larsen from my lab who defended her PhD thesis today. #viruses #genetherapy @MadisonVirology @McArdleLab @CMB_UWMadison
Congratulations to the first PhD student from my lab, Dr. Rhiannon Abrahams!!! @McArdleLab @MadisonVirology
Inviting all Parvovirologists to the International Parvovirus Workshop in Madison in June 7-10 2026. mdpi.com/journal/viruses/eve…
Congratulations to my graduate students Gavin, Claire and @monnetteeee for their first paper on HBV. Thanks to all our colleagues in @McArdleLab for their help | Journal of Virology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Congrats to @monnetteeee on her first paper! She discovered how AAV genomes at high titers cause genotoxicity! Many thanks to our collaborators @RKirchdoerfer, Coon and Mehta labs! @CMB_UWMadison @MadisonVirology journals.plos.org/plospathog…
Exciting work from my @McArdleLab colleagues Aussie Suzuki and Nate Sherer! #viruses
New research reveals a novel way that HIV-1 manipulates human cells by showing that the Vif protein causes cells to stall in metaphase rather than G2 phase (like Vpr does).

Excited to announce the first annual Ann Palmenberg Molecular Virology Symposium! Hosted by the Institute for Molecular Virology with generous sponsorships from @UWBiochem and @WARF_News. Program expertly prepared by @RKirchdoerfer.

In response to COVID-19, researchers examined SARS-CoV-2 structures to identify possible treatments. Now, the @RKirchdoerfer Lab is comparing what we know about different coronaviruses to explore whether therapeutics might work across this virus family: biochem.wisc.edu/2024/11/13/…

Our latest paper led by graduate student Mike Ohman is out today in PNAS! 🎉Mike showed the HCMV Pentamer glycoprotein complex inhibits viral immediate early gene expression.
Congrats to Mike & co-authors Emily & Chris!

You don’t want to miss this. @Kylee__Morrison’s work is beautiful and she gives fantastic talks! 🤩
Join us tomorrow as Dr. @Kylee__Morrison kicks off our Molecular Virology seminar series for the semester talking about her work in the @KalejtaLab to understand what controls viral infectivity!
That’s a wrap on the 19th International Parvovirus Workshop. We will see everyone for the 20th International Parvovirus Workshop in Madison in 2026. #parvoviruses @WeitzmanLab @annacmaurer @Dr_Sprggs @jianming_qiu @AravindAsokan

Excited to see Ryan Walter’s work showing both pro- and anti-viral roles of the cellular ATRX protein during productive HCMV infection is out @PLOSPathogens! 🥳
Congrats to Ryan & shout-out to our @MadisonVirology colleague @Majumder_Lab for the assist!
