Exciting PhD studentship opportunity for international students in my lab. If you are interested in generating novel virus-vectored vaccines against viruses considered by the WHO to be top priority public health risks, this may be for you. Details here: qub.ac.uk/courses/postgr…

What advice would you give to someone considering an #apprenticeship scheme? This #NIApprenticeshipWeek we caught up with some of our @QUBTechnicians Apprentices to find out. Learn more here ➡️ ow.ly/MJPO50Qyf44 #LoveQUB #NIAW2024 #QUBTechnicians @Economy_NI

Was refreshing to see so many PhD students presenting their research at today's QUB/AFBI PhD Conference. A stimulating two sessions and interesting and thought provoking presentations and posters on display. Well done to all who took part. #AFBIResearch #QueensAFBIAlliance

BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

@Emsdoesscience @asjdseesit @dfmcauley @CPH_QUB @WWIEM_QUB @QUBelfast @QUB_ARF @QUBCritCareResp Congrats Emily!! All the best ☺️

I submitted my PhD thesis today! Big thank you to my brilliant supervisors @asjdseesit, @dfmcauley and Prof Cardwell @CPH_QUB and @WWIEM_QUB. Bring on the viva! @QUBelfast @QUB_ARF @QUBCritCareResp

Halfway through this mornings session. We welcome Miss Erin Getty from Queens University Belfast @Queens_Belfast

Today we welcomed nine new technicians to our workforce as part of the Technician Apprenticeship Pilot Programme. The programme will see the apprentices undertake paid employment at the university while also attending @bfastmet to complete an NVQ Level 3 qualification. The technicians will then be offered permanent employment in a more senior role. Welcome, everyone! We are delighted to have you all on Team QUB.

@LindsayBbent Feel better soon Lindsay!!

Not the souvenir I was hoping to bring back from a few days in Paris…

Just some of the viruses we made with kids and their families @balmoralshow we got to talk about what viruses look like, how they infect people and animals, and how vaccines can help! @QUBEngagement @qubengagemhls_d

Fab day @balmoralshow with @QUBelfast! Lots of new virologists in the making!

Come talk viruses and vaccines at the @QUBelfast stand @balmoralshow (right at the entrance!)

Thrilled that my exceptional PhD students @MaryMcC97 and @eringetty98 received 1st and 2nd prizes, respectively, for their oral presentations at the 2023 @WWIEM_QUB 2nd year PhD symposium. Congrats to you both!

It's an incredible day for structure-based vaccine design, and I'm thrilled to see our prefusion RSV F antigen get approved as the first RSV vaccine. Still more work to do to reduce the RSV disease burden, but this will help! Congrats @BarneyGrahamMD! cnn.com/2023/05/03/hea…

#Microbio23 Y2 marked by presenting our work on RSV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infections. Lots of fun, laughs and great science @MicrobioSoc

@CSHawthorn enthusiastically talking through her poster on bovine PIV3 mucosal vaccine development #Microbio23. Great representation of the lab.

@MaryMcC97 having a great time talking through her poster at #Microbio23. The lab is well represented!

If you want to find out more about my work on virus vectored vaccines for bovine PIV3, come and see my poster! P712 #microbio23

Fantastic talk by @eringetty98 at Microbiology Society annual conference in Birmingham, UK. Did the lab really proud!
