🚨🚨 Our latest paper shows that IFITM3 deficiency lowers the minimum virus dose threshold for influenza and also enhances adaptation of the virus to a new species.🦠🫁 Major implications for preventing new pandemics. 😷 First author @ParkerJDenz 👨‍🔬nature.com/articles/s4146…

@Junnan_Fang @OhioState Congratulations, good news, brilliant futures.

Thrilled to share that I will join @OhioState as a tenure-track assistant professor in Dept. of Cell Biology & Physiology in Jan. 2025. We will explore novel mechanisms of centrosome regulation in development and disease. Hiring at all levels! Please help RT.

I’m pleased to announce my transition to Chair of the Department of Microbiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. As part of this role, we’re recruiting two junior faculty for 2025, focusing on infection biology. Learn more and apply: apply.interfolio.com/153243

Today the first extraordinary meeting of the Standing Committee on Health Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response was convened, following my declaration yesterday of a public health emergency of international concern over the upsurge of #mpox in Africa. The Emergency Committee is currently working on temporary recommendations, which we will issue in the coming days, to provide guidance to address the acute risk of mpox in countries affected by or at risk of the disease. In addition, I have extended for another year the standing recommendations that I issued when I declared an end to the previous mpox global emergency last year. Those recommendations provide more general guidance to address the chronic risk of mpox globally. My full remarks: bit.ly/3AnUcvh

Latest work on #Mpox coming out from many colleagues including @arimoin @PlacideMbala @LaurensLiesenb1 @labgenpath @nicolamlow Documented transboundary transmission of mpox between the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today, we declare #Mpox a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security. With 2,863 confirmed cases and 517 deaths across 13 African countries in 2024 alone, Mpox is a crisis demanding our collective action. @AfricaCDC is activating resources, partnerships, and leading coordinated and strategic responses to protect our continent. We call on global partners to join us in this fight. Read More - africacdc.org/news-item/afri… #PublicHealthEmergency #ContinentalSecurity #GlobalSolidarity
