Molecular Virology

We are the Molecular Virology Lab of UPF. Our research leaded by Juana Diez studies (i) how viruses take over cells (ii) how they interact with the infected host, and (iii) development of effective antivirals. Keep tuned to know more about us 👩‍🔬 #Virology #UPF #PRBB #Biomedicine

Our lab is making the move to Bluesky🦋, where we will post from now on. Stay connected with us, find us under @viroupf.bsky.social

Quan pensem en virus pensem en infeccions i malalties, però... que en tenen res de positiu? Per què no ens acompanyeu a descobrir-ho! Ens veiem dilluns 25/11 a la biblioteca!

So far during 2024, @ECDC_EU have reported 715 cases of West Nile virus disease in Europe, well above the average of the past 10 years. Our lab is working on novel strategies to stop this trend. Interested in learning how? Check our work at juanadiezlab.com! 🦟

The las two days had been a blast! 💫 We enjoyed learning science, getting to know each other & shaping the future of #MELISupf! It's been nice to meet you all together 😊🫶🏼 #Retreat
