Excited! We received a new R01 from NIA to study computational drug repositioning for Alzheimer's Disease. More info in the thread 👇 from 10 months ago. We will be hiring 2 new postdocs and a software developer for this project; pls RT!

Truly a weird feeling, but I think I'm actually a bit ahead of schedule for an upcoming grant proposal submission. So as an experiment, I'm opening up my current draft for public comment. Topic: Drug repositioning for Alzheimer's Disease. Link: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

2. The #Ebola outbreak totals are 733 confirmed & probable cases & 459 deaths. Today's @MinSanteRDC update contains a cool epi-curve showing cases by date of symptom onset & by location. Looks to me like a slight abating of cases — though that may be wishful thinking.

#Ebola thread: New info from @WHO on spread in Katwa, a major hot spot right now. Katwa (part of greater Butembo, pop: 1M) has recorded 148 cases so far. That's 21% of the outbreak total. And only 37% of cases there have come from contact lists. That's worrying.

Our @acegid_lab partners performed advanced sequencing to uncover a yellow fever outbreak in their home country Nigeria. This is how we will protect the world from pandemics #rootsnotparachutes #africanscience @WorldBank @H3Africa_CC virological.org/t/yellow-fev…

Yellow fever outbreak in Nigeria 2018

In Edo State Nigeria, an area endemic for Lassa fever, 14 people with unexplained fever reported to Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital (ISTH) in the last quarter of 2018. After ruling out infections...

#Ebola rebounds BIG time: +12 cases reported today. That's huge. It's only the 4th time in this outbreak that there were more than 10 cases reported on a single day. There have been 36 cases reported this week (Monday onward). 1/

The #LIC2019 conference just kicked off in Abuja, organized by the @NCDCgov! @CEPIvaccines is taking the lead on Lassa vaccines trials, presented in their keynote. Currently in Phase I/II development, very promising and exciting.

A total of 12,327 suspected cases of #LassaFever were recorded during a 10-year period (2009-2018). Of the 1236 total confirmed cases, 543(43.9%) cases were recorded in 2018 alone- Sylvanus Okogbenin at the #LIC2019 Conference
