Excited for the newly approved Lenacapavir, an HIV injectable Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis [ PrEP] administered twice annually to HIV negative individuals preventing them from infection. Great push to the efforts to eradicate HIV/AIDS by 2030. youtu.be/YJWu-7sMImY?si…

.@KaleebuPontiano opened with a look at innovations in HIV diagnostics: from self-testing kits to 4th-gen rapid tests with both antigen & antibody detection He encouraged the “three reactive tests” algorithm for greater accuracy #TripleEliminationConfUG #InvestInUGChildren

Had a great time catching up with everyone who attended the #pseudotyped #virus network meeting on Tuesday. Fascinating to hear the latest developments in the field and already looking forward to the next one.

On the way to the 9th Pseudotype Virus update meeting @unisussex today, hosted by fellow VPU lead @ewrightlab Almost 50 attendees this time. We all squeezed in a small room @ucl for the first meeting about a decade ago!

Looking forward to hosting ~50 viral pseudotypers for the 9th Pseudotype Virus Network meeting later today here at @SussexLifeSci. Get in touch if you'd like to be added to the mailing list

Congratulations double star @GL_Hooper from @ewrightlab who presented both a poster AND a talk showcasing his research on a pan-lyssavirus vaccine and an African swine fever virus pseudotype at the annual @MicrobioSoc annual meeting in Liverpool this week. 👊 #microbio25

Pleased to be playing a part in this venture and looking forward to seeing @Virion_X address problems caused by high-consequence viruses. A waitlist has been set up to determine the key unmet needs researchers and companies have in this field - lnkd.in/dGUmviNK

WHO and partners have immediately boosted their support to the Ugandan government’s response to an outbreak of Sudan virus disease outbreak, including by facilitating access to a candidate vaccine and candidate treatments. who.int/news/item/31-0…
