🚨 New preprint🚨 Type I & III interferons synergise with TNF to amplify epithelial cell death after viral infection — revealing how cytokine crosstalk can drive tissue damage in susceptible hosts. 🧬🦠 📄 biorxiv.org/content/10.648… #Immunology #Inflammation #bioRxiv

That's a wrap for our 2025 symposium - thanks to our key sponsor @QIAGEN, institute sponsors, committee members, and all our delegates! #MELS2025

We are excited to share our paper describing neutralising monoclonal antibodies against human coronavirus NL63, an alphacoronavirus that uses the same ACE2 receptor as SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, but generally only causes mild respiratory illness. nature.com/articles/s4429…

@ChristinViral @CadwellLab Congratulations @ChristinViral

@K_RenfreeShort @ProfPaulYoung @thijskuiken Congratulations @K_RenfreeShort

So honoured to be an awardee of the 2024 AAS Gottschalk medal!! Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible including my amazing nominators @ProfPaulYoung and @thijskuiken

@RhiannonWerder Congratulations!

Inspiring few days discussing respiratory disease with the Aussie lung community #TSANZSRS2024 🫁 Also very honoured to have received the Moderna Research Award for Lung Health in Respiratory Viruses which will fund our work understanding alveolar epithelial infections 🦠

The @nhmrc has shared a fact sheet on how the late Prof Ruth Bishop and her team at #MCRI discovered #rotavirus and led development of a world-first oral #vaccine, savings thousands of young lives⬇️ @JulieBines #Research #ChildHealth #MurdochChildrens bit.ly/49WqVnB

I am recruiting! Please come join me - looking for an excellent research officer with immunology and viral expertise w a genomics slant 👇 jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/916…

A collab project with @UniMelb has secured $3.1m in funding from @novonordiskfond to support the development of a novel antiviral drug for prevention and treatment of influenza, focusing on influenza strains with pandemic potential. doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… @UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH

Dr. Melissa Little's team identified the mechanism of #SARSCoV2 entry in renal cells, confirming ACE2 as the sole receptor and revealing redundancy in downstream cell surface TMPRSS- and endocytic Cathepsin-mediated pathways. @reNEW_Global @MCRI_for_kids bit.ly/3OHF7Jj

Great to see this paper out now in JVI @JVirology: using stem cell-derived enhanced kidney organoids to gain further understanding of SARS-CoV-2 entry mechanisms in human kidney cells @MCRI_for_Kids @TheDohertyInst (journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…)
