Extremely excited to see our paper out in @Nature! How does the body respond to SARS-CoV-2, and what happens if you don't get infected after exposure? We unravel the exact timeline of the cellular responses to inoculation with SARS-CoV-2 in humans. (1/4) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Highlights include the unexpected timing of the interferon response, new innate responses in unexpected cells and in abortive infections, identification and application of new activated T cell populations, and lower HLA-DQA2 expression as predictor for sustained infections. (3/4)

Stoked to see this tour-the-force from the Bartke team out in Nature! We've decoded how DNA & histone modifications regulate protein binding to the genome using quantitative interaction proteomics. A leap forward in understanding chromatin dynamics! Congrats to everyone involved!
“If you want to know someone, look at their friends…” that’s how we decode histone codes and chromatin states. Finally, the dream has come true… Almost a decade after I started the project in London, it has been published on Nature. Enjoy the paper: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Our pre-print is out!! Proud to share our work as part of the world’s first human #COVID-19 challenge study, in which we looked to temporally resolve the epithelial and immune response in SARS-CoV-2 infections at the single-cell level. 🧬🦠🔬 Key highlights summarised👇🧵(1/6)

We also provided multiple community resources. You can browse our sc data via our web portal, use Cell2TCR to identify activated TCRs in any dataset, and we provide models for detailed cell state annotation and to infer time since viral exposure in patient samples. (5/6)
