@GHarmange @NatureComms Congrats Guillaume!!

My thesis work on drug resistance in melanoma is now published in @NatureComms! nature.com/articles/s4146…

We have released a preprint “Targeting AAV vectors to the CNS via de novo engineered capsid-receptor interactions”. We developed gene delivery vectors with known mechanisms of action & predictable tropisms by targeting AAVs to specific proteins. tinyurl.com/2ndsuvp6

@slavov_n @slavovLab @GrayHuffman congrats gray!!

Congratulation to the newest PhD from @slavovLab, Dr. Huffman!

@slavov_n @NUBioE1 @NortheasternCOE @harrisonspecht Congrats Dr. @harrisonspecht !!!!!!!!

Congrats to Dr. Specht, the newest PhD from @NUBioE1 and @NortheasternCOE! Mentoring and supporting the growth of students like @harrisonspecht is a huge privilege of being an academic PI.

1⃣Developing a method is just the first step. ✔️ 2⃣Helping others adopt it is the second step 👇 Thanks to @aleks_petelski, @edemmott and the entire @slavovLab team for this @NatureProtocols article! nature.com/articles/s4159…

And its out! My/@Emmottlab first PI paper “Characterising proteolysis during SARS-CoV-2 identifies viral cleavage sites and cellular targets with therapeutic potential”. nature.com/articles/s4146… This was a huge collaborative effort with 19 authors spanning 4 continents!

My awesome sister just released her book! Uplifted tells the personal stories of how 21 Asian American entrepreneurs built their businesses, overcame their greatest challenges, and drew strength from their identities to uplift others. kickstarter.com/projects/uplif…

We've created an interactive website to visualize >100,000 experimental measurements of how mutations to #SARSCoV2 RBD affect binding by antibodies & sera: jbloomlab.github.io/SARS2_RBD_Ab_e… Explore it to examine a wealth of information about the antigenic effects of viral mutations. (1/n)

Version 2 of covidcg.org is up! New data selection interface, now able to handle all 733,480+ SARS2 genomes from GISAID. Please send us your feedback and help us to debug the site!

@winocm @Ayjchan @shingheizhan @CovidCg @DevermanLab We also have a version of the site that is run off of GenBank data instead of GISAID data (genbank.covidcg.org). It has a few more features enabled, like per-sequence metadata/SNV downloads

We’ve updated our SARS-CoV-2 preprint investigating proteolysis by viral and host enzymes during SARS-CoV-2 infection! Lots of new data, and an author list now covering 4 countries on 3 continents! Read it here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our joint single-cell analysis of proteins & RNAs in differentiating macrophages appeared in @GenomeBiology genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… (preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) We analyzed ~ 3,000 proteins and RNAs across single monocytes and macrophages, and found ...

New paper: Single-cell proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of macrophage heterogeneity using SCoPE2. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… now published in @GenomeBiology

I’m delighted to share the first @emmottlab preprint! In this paper we study protease activity in #SARSCOV2 infected cells. We found multiple unknown cleavage sites in viral proteins, and novel cellular targets of the viral proteases essential for virus replication.

Our talk just got bumped earlier to 5 PM CDT / 6 PM EST. The closing talk for the @ASGCTherapy COVID-19 symposium. Grab your happy hour drink of choice and tune in for our 15-min talk! 🍻🍷🧋🍵🍼🧃🥤🍾🍸🥂🍹🧉🥛🧬 webcastregister.live/asgct_covid19_…

Heads up on a 2-day all-star @ASGCTherapy COVID-19 symposium starting tomorrow. Dr Fauci is the opening keynote. @atchen_ @DevermanLab @shingheizhan our group is giving the last talk on Wednesday afternoon 5:15PM CDT! asgct.org/events/covid-s…

Twitter's being weird... site is at covidcg.org

Really excited to share this tool that we've been working on over the past few months. The code is 100% open source at github.com/vector-enginee…, if you would like to replicate our analyses, rebuild our app, or suggest any features that would help with your COVID-19 research.

Hello, twitterverse! This is the twitter account for the new COVID-19 CoV Genetics (covidcg.org) browser created by Ben @DevermanLab Albert Chen @atchen_ Shing Zhan @shingheizhan Alina Chan @ayjchan and Kevin Altschuler.

Our paper is out on @biorxivpreprint describing our SARS CoV2-human protein-protein interaction map and drug predictions from the data. It was a honor to work with so many fantastic scientists around the world. -Nevan biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
