Mehdi Bouhaddou, PhD

@LongDesertTrain Thanks Ryan! Recommend getting in touch with Yaron Tomer, who wrote the code and is super helpful. Happy to put you in touch if you need.

Looks like a very cool preprint from @DoctorBou documenting widespread viral adaptation to human kinases. The Kinase Library used here looks awesome, and I want to learn how to use it once I finish my current project.

Big shout out to co-first authors @kareem_alb and Declan Winters! Also to our stellar collaborators, couldn’t do it without you. Collaboration makes the dream work!

In sum, our findings suggest the possibility that viruses evolved as biosensors of the host signaling state, unveiling new antiviral opportunities aimed at disrupting virus decision-making.

Thrilled to share the first major preprint from the lab. Viruses are classically viewed as targets of host sensing. Do viruses also sense and respond to the host? We propose viruses may act as “biosensors” of the host signaling state. A thread👇🏾 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

👌🏽

Happy Holidays from the Bouhaddou Lab @MicrobioUcla @UCLAQCBio @UCLA. It’s been a productive year and the group is growing. Feel lucky to get to do science with good people.

@VignuzziLab @NatureComms @idlabs_astar I love Sonja!

Nature Communications @NatureComms editor Sonja Schmid visits @idlabs_astar to describe her work and the journal to our scientists. 9 years of editing hundreds of accepted papers and ten thousand submissions! I remember meeting her at Mount Sinai just as she was completing her postdoctoral and starting this career!

Congratulations to Yennifer Delgado @Delgado_Yenn PhD student in my group for receiving the @NSF GRFP, a competitive 3-year fellowship for graduate students, and to Declan Winters for an honorable mention. You guys are amazing. I’m lucky to work with you!

@BenGlicksberg @IcahnMountSinai @MindichCHDI @AIHealthMtSinai @mountsinaicbipm @HPI_MS @girish_nadkarni @aw_charney Amazing!

@ZeynepHG @Delgado_Yenn @MicrobioUcla Yes I do ;) let’s do it

@DoctorBou @Delgado_Yenn @MicrobioUcla Nice! Do you know a tool that can visualize such data? 😉

Stellar presentation by Yennifer Delgado @Delgado_Yenn at the @MicrobioUcla virology seminar series, PhD student in the lab, talking about her work on membrane protein phosphorylation — stay tuned for updates

@VignuzziLab Congrats! Well deserved💪🏽💪🏽

Thank you international society for antiviral research for this recognition, of a career that I built based on my uniqueness and leveraging my success and influence to knock down walls to bring wider perspectives and out of the box ideas to light.

Seminar next week, Monday 17th at ASTAR ID Labs. @DoctorBou Prof. Mehdi Bouhaddou from UCLA will present his lab's work on phosphoproteomics and protein-protein interactions in virus infections. bouhaddoulab.org
