Happy to see this officially out!
It’s been quite the ride to watch this go from just the seed of an idea & some coffee walk conversations many moons ago to what turned out to be a pretty cool story.
Congrats Mike! 🎉
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!
Really proud of Ryan and his beautiful work on this project. Such a cool story!
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!

Two @KalejtaLab papers accepted in a week definitely requires Greenbush 🍩.
Congratulations Mike and Ryan! 🥳
Hooray Esther! 🥳
Congratulations to @UWMadisonMDTP graduate student Esther Wisdom on her F31 award! 🎉
We are incredibly proud of Esther and her work and excited for her ongoing science!

This was probably the best chat I've had about my work!
I hope people find it useful
Have you heard our latest Session ? Dr Ben Krishna and the team at Cambridge University have identified a protein, elevated in the blood of #LongCovid patients. Available on all platforms, here is a link to one. @BenjaminKrishn3 @Cambridge_Uni available on all platforms.

A postdoc position is available in our lab to work on the impact of herpes simplex virus infection on the nervous system. Great opportunity to gain expertise in different neuronal models of infection and an animal model of HSV neurogenerative disease.

Welcoming future Badger virologists to campus this week!
As part of the @UWMadisonCALS
QuickStart program, incoming undergraduates got a hands on taste of some of the ongoing research on campus from @MadisonVirology faculty, students, and staff. #LoveVirology

We love genetic approaches to define virus:host interactions. Knockout screens are powerful, but...technical constraints limit what you can find. Could we devise a screen where viral fitness pinpoints the key regulators of replication? (spoiler - yes cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…) 1/10

Huge congratulations & happy retirement to Ann Palmenberg & Marchel Hill! Two of the all time greats.
Thank you for the impact you and your science have had on countless faculty, students, and staff over the decades!

Join us tomorrow as we celebrate the outstanding careers of Ann & Marchel and the countless contributions they have made to the @MadisonVirology & @UWBiochem communities and beyond!

Congratulations to Professor Ann Palmenberg, who retires this week after more than 40 years @UWBiochem & @MadisonVirology!
Palmenberg built her lab & career around unveiling the enzymes & mechanisms responsible for controlling viruses. Her research established the foundation ➡️

Insecure leaders strive to be the most powerful person in the room. They make others feel weak so they alone can stay strong.
Secure leaders aim to amplify the power of the room. They use their strength to make others stronger.
The best and highest use of power is to share it.
