Our work on the global origins and spread of canine rabies is now out on @NatureComms. We developed a new method that combines both full and partial viral genome sequences to trace the history of viral diseases more precisely. With @GuyBaele nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our latest preprint (in @biorxivpreprint). We present Bayesian method to detect episodic evolution in genome data sets. This has been a fantastic collaboration with @guyBaele and spearheaded by John Tay in my team at @TheDohertyInst, @unimelbMDHS. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/2)

The HERA laboratory network, called DURABLE, kick off is now 🥳 Coming together in Paris with the common goal of advancing health security. DURABLE will provide rapid, high-quality scientific information to support 🇪🇺 preparedness & response to cross-border health threats.

Phylogeographic inference is a powerful tool to reconstruct viral spread but can be impacted by geographic sampling bias. In @Virus_Evolution, we simulate RABV epidemics to evaluate how different methods cope with the problem. With @ GuyBaele, @sdellicour academic.oup.com/ve/article/9/1…

The Virus Evolution & Molecular Epidemiology (VEME) Workshop has > 50 of the top scientists in the world. They will be in South Africa to train 150 participants. Excited to see this prestigious workshop in the global south! Please help to advertise it. veme.climade.health

Are you interested in delivering reliable evidence from observational health care data? Do you find computational statistics and data science fascinating? I'd like to hire you as a Postdoctoral Fellow, so please email me directly! (Phylodynamic opportunities also available)

Want to learn more about epidemic modelling? Join our 1-week course at Institut Pasteur, Paris, in May 2023. Deadline for applications: 15 Jan. With great speakers including @HSalje @dr_Anne_Cori @VColizza @apwez @LullaOpatowski @TemimeLaura pasteur.fr/en/education/p…

I look forward giving a Colloquium on "Science policy advising in times of a pandemic" @ETH_en @istp_eth on Wed, Nov 30, 12:30 in Zurich (in person and on zoom; non-ETH members need to sign up by monday). istp.ethz.ch/events/colloqu…

How unequal is the global SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance? 🦠🧬 Our recently published @NatureComms article analysed how countries performed in the first two years of pandemic, both in terms of sequencing intensity and timeliness of surveillance. 🧵👇🏾 nature.com/articles/s4146…

A must-read paper with a global collaboration of dozens of countries, including South Africa, Brazil, the UK, the USA, Belgium, Mauritius, etc. Together, working to advance genomics surveillance.

The BQ.1.1 variant, as compared with many of the other new variants, is resistant to all clinically used monoclonal antibodies. BQ.1/BQ.1.1 are now the dominant variants in the United States thelancet.com/journals/lanin… @TheLancetInfDis

Check out our work on efficacy of approved mAbs. congrats to @Timothee_B and wonderful collaborators Longitudinal analysis of serum neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2, BA.4 and BA.5 in patients receiving monoclonal antibodies cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Interested to work as a project manager @institutpasteur ? Please contact maelle.pichard@pasteur.fr

🥂Our study on the activity of monoclonal antibodies against BA.4 and BA.5 is is now live in @CellRepMed ! 🔵Beyond reassuring data on Evusheld against these variants, there is cool data on ADCC, showing that it does not correlate to neutralization.

Covid reinfections are bad for your health. Big @DeptVetAffairs study published @NatureMedicine today. #LongCovid nature.com/articles/s4159… by @zalaly and colleagues

Check our paper @NatureComms Our updated #SARSCoV2 #vaccine  (using the yellow fever vaccine as vector) protects hamsters against all VoC.  Also, vaccinated animals do not transmit the virus to unvaccinated cage mates. Top job Kai Dallmeier and @hendrikthibaut1 . @KU_Leuven
