Studying how #influenza virus engages the cellular environment, @bakerlabLBRI @MehleLab &co find that host cells use #AlternativeSplicing to embed #antiviral proteins in #metabolic enzymes, protecting host defenses from viral countermeasures #PLOSBiology plos.io/3VnlJS1

We are excited that our MIRA was funded, which means we are looking for enthusiastic scientists with an interest in transcriptional regulation during development to join our team. If you're interested in our postdoc position DM me, see attached or check harrisonlab.bmolchem.wisc.ed….

And we are still looking for a postdoctoral fellow to study gene expression in the early embryo and neural stem cells!

Recently published in Molecular Cell, click below to read about how a team of researchers led by Dr. Melissa Harrison of BMC developed a blue light "switch" that activates and deactivates the pioneer transcription factor Zelda: med.wisc.edu/news-and-events…
Was the transition from RNAi to IFN enabled by Toll Like Receptors? Did you known Echinoderms, which branch between RNAi-enabled invertebrates and IFN-enabled vertebrates have neither antiviral defense. Instead they have 200+ TLRs linked simply to an NFkB-based stress response.

Excited that our paper using optogenetics to investigate the requirement for the pioneer factor Zelda is out now @MolecularCell. Fun to collaborate with the Zaret and Lewis labs to show Zelda binds nucleosomes.

Great “Confronting Persistent Epidemics” symposium at UC Berkeley hosted by @CENDUCBerkeley! Honored to “represent“ flu with @MehleLab and Jon Yewdell. Timely topic as I’m recovering from flu. Job security! #LoveVirology
