@LYemalin @LancetMicrobe Well done Lucrèce + team 👍

Very happy to have this paper out @LancetMicrobe. We show important data on DAA treatment outcomes among HCV infected individuals in Benin. doi.org/10.1016/S2666-…

Check out our pre-print describing a CCHFV glycoprotein complex in the pre-fusion conformation! We used several engineering tricks to design our final construct, GP38-GnH-DS-Gc. Great collaborative effort, led by graduate student @Eliza4Science! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Sampling from over 800 bats indicate vast diversity, host-related variability, and high geographic specificity of viruses in East Africa. microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

We cannot wait any longer for action to be taken to address the issues in clinical academia that we all recognise need fixing. If we delay/continue to ignore the issues, there will no longer be anything left to save…

In new study led by Andrea Loes, we develop sequencing-based neutralization assay that measures replicate curves for hundreds of virus-serum pairs per 96-well plate (see image below) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We apply assay to characterize response to repeat influenza vaccination

Palm was at the British Society for Immunology #BSIConf presenting on behalf of the @cvrinf Preparedness Platform our research investigating the role of AAV2 in mysterious pediatric hepatitis cases. Fueling important scientific discussion and discoveries in Belfast today! 🌟

Today, I and 10 consultant colleagues - on call GI bleeds, split site - received an email @NHSGGC :no renewal of parking permits and advice can pay for off-site private parking - retweet if you think @scotgov should pay for 5 years instead of paying @MathesonMichael mobile bill

I’ve not been on this for a while but worth sharing the great work from #INHSU2023. First a few posters from @NHSGGC @BrownleeHIV @wilson_cat @stephentbarclay flying the flag for the great work our nurses and others do supporting PWUD in Glasgow.

Clinical fellow post in infectious diseases available at the QEUH @NHSGGC starting ASAP. Super friendly and supportive team and a great city to work in! apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/Job/JobDetail?… #infectiousdiseases #infection #generalmedicine #idjobs

#Dengue outbreak declared in #Jamaica outbreaknewstoday.com/dengue-outbrea…

One day meeting at the University of Glasgow @CVRinfo @CVRbioinfo on the 18th of October on Evolution, Pathogens and Public Health. Please submit talk and poster abstract before the 25th of September here: forms.office.com/e/SrJ79bXBf6

An important reminder of why strict, enhanced infection prevention & control measures are needed when caring for patients with high consequence infectious diseases, particularly viral haemorrhagic fevers like CCHF. At least the CFR was low in this outbreak thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

It's official; my paper on the very first bipartite parvovirus and its structure has been published in Nature Communications 😀 I'm so proud to be responsible for representing invertebrate viruses in a Nature journal. 🦗🦗🦗 nature.com/articles/s4146…

❗️Job Alert: We are excited to be recruiting a bioinformatician to work on deployable virus sequencing projects (rabies biased 😉)! Position with @UofG_SBOHVM, embedded within @CVRbioinfo. Please share: ➡️jobs.ac.uk/job/DAH957/bio… #postdoc #position #postdocposition

Proud to contribute to this piece of work between @EdinUniOrtho, @edin_EID, and @ndorms; lots more to be done for this under-served group of patients who experience a worse pre-treatment quality of life than almost every other chronic condition track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=wH…
