Excited to introduce Dr. Jana Cable! Beautiful thesis seminar on how EBV transforms B cells through the wiley EBNA-LP! #lovevirology @CableJana
Wrapped up the European sabbatical month with an excellent @GordonConf on NPC and EBV in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. Outstanding science and great to meet many new colleagues including the excellent groups from @dukenus, NCC Singapore, and Sun Yat Sen Cancer Center among others!
Third leg of European sabbatical trip in the books! A week with the outstanding Christian Munz and colleagues @UZH_en Incredibly rich and vibrant environment for virology and immunology - particularly for studies of EBV and MS – at Zurich, Switzerland
Enjoyed my week in Heidelberg @DKFZ while on sabbatical in Europe this month. Thank you to Henri-Jacques Delecluse and his research group! It was a real pleasure :)
Great catching up with Luftigre alumna @EmmaBonglack in London today for fish and chips and to hear the exciting work she's doing as a @SchmidtFellows on the human genetics of anemia in understudied populations.
Super proud and excited to see the impact of your research in Cambridge! @EmmaBonglack @minouye271 youtu.be/1KutcsSW_j0?si=_67Z…
Excited to be in Singapore presenting our newest findings @dukenus! Great to meet new colleagues and visit old friends :)
Congrats to my colleague @TobinLab for the well deserved election to AAM! A true basic scientist discovering genetic regulators of mycobacterial infection in zebrafish as a lens into human infection biology.
Congratulations to David @TobinLab from @DukeMGM and lIB for their election as a fellow of the AAM. Well deserved honor and recognition of Dr. Tobin for his work on tuberculosis.

Great visit @TheWistar hosted by my former PhD student @PricelessSci! @WeitzmanLab - he's launched! Enjoyed meeting old friends and making new connections at Wistar and Penn.
Congratulations to Katie Willard for successfully defending her PhD thesis and having her paper accepted on EBV spontaneous lytic reactivation! #thesiscowboyhat #Luftigres

Thrilled to host Camille as a Snyderman Research scholar this summer to work on new mechanisms of drug resistance in gastric cancer medicine.duke.edu/blog/curre…
Excited to present our newest work on EBV pathogenesis at #IHW2023 in Missoula! And also to hear the latest reactivation of the Herpetic Legion :)
Congrats to David Kong who presented his undergraduate distinction thesis work on atypical B cells yesterday at the Duke Undergraduate Research Symposium. @DukeMedSchool @DukeU And big shout out to @nicoreino for mentoring him!
Great show tonight @Trevornoah! You should try @BeyuCaffe for breakfast in the morning!
