We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 30 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research.
Congratulations to our new #NASmembers and welcome to the Academy! 🎊

Excited to share our preprint demonstrating how fumarate metabolism by host and pathogen promotes pneumonia! Itaconate synergizes with fumarate, driving staphylococcal adaptation for survival.

Our new review on betacoronvirus internal protein is out now @JVirology
journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Our new study @JCI_insight shows that previous SARS-CoV-2 infection protects against severe disease even with minimally detectable neutralizing antibodies.

Before #PeerReviewWeek2024ends, #jvirology would like to thank and honor again its many reviewers. These individuals have reviewed 10 papers for the Journal of Virology in 2023. We are so grateful for your service to JVI. journals.asm.org/journal/jvi
Our commentary on the cell death pathways initiated in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells is out @SciImmunology !

The #COVID19 pandemic forced the world to reevaluate outbreak and pandemic preparedness, prevention and response.
Pandemic preparedness must be constant.
Excellent first day of this #MERS and emerging zoonotic CoV meeting …
Just arrived in Riyadh🇸🇦for the Quadripartite Global Technical Meeting on
#MERS & Other Emerging Zoonotic CoV
Increased 🌍🌎🌎capacities to prevent & tackle #COVID19 can be applied to prevent other pathogens with epidemic & pandemic potential
Science Collaboration #OneHealth

New #mBio article shows that Betacoronavirus internal proteins have differential functions in causing disease in mice. @wlyroy @UIowaMicrobio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Our new paper on Betacoronavirus Internal protein is out in @mbiojournal. We showed that Internal proteins (8b for MERS-CoV and 9b for SARS-CoV-2) have distinct roles in pathogenesis in our CoV mouse models.

Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 spike allow the virus to evade antibody recognition. Many mutations in the S1 subunit escape neutralization, and are key determinants in the antigenic drift of S. We asked if mutations in the S2 subunit play a role in the antigenic drift of S. (1/8)
I am excited to announce that I will be starting my new independent position as Assistant Professor at the Center for Virus Host Innate Immunity and the Department of Microbiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics Rutgers @Rutgers_NJMS this Fall! I am so grateful
Our paper in collaboration with Markus Hoffmann and Stefan Pohlmann @uniGoettingen on characterizing Omicron subvariant Spike is out now in @NatureComms.
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
We found that BA.5 Spike causes more efficient cell fusion than earlier Omicron sublineages....
...Omicron subvariants, suggesting that the increased virus replication in BA.5-infected mice was not sufficient to render BA.5 more pathogenic than the earlier Omicron subvariants (BA.1 and BA.2) and also not to the levels of previous SARS-CoV-2 VOC
...(Alpha, Beta variants, which were more pathogenic), at least in our model. @UIowaMicrobio
