What a fantastic two days showcasing #Bunyaviruses (and #Bunyavirologists!) in all their glory! Thank you to everyone, we had a blast! Until next time… #bunya2024

Happy to share our latest work in Science Signalling highlighting the essential role of ion channels in KSHV replication. It highlights Kv1.3 as a potential druggable host factor for this oncogenic virus. @scisignal @ScienceLeeds science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Team Barr/Fontana/Stacey smashing it at #Bunya2024 @UniversityLeeds 🦠🔬

And then it was over... #bunya2024 We had fun and we learned a lot. Until next time bunyavirologists! @BarrLeeds @LabFontana

Our #cryoET study of #RSV is out in @NatureComms!! rdcu.be/dNKAk Using #subtomogram averaging we show the matrix protein packs as a helical-like lattice. The Fusion gp arranges as F-trimer pairs & correlate w/the M lattice. Great work @Pangolininator & coauthors!❄️🔬🦠

It's our final seminar of the 23/24 series, and it's a great way to end in #alphavirus_heaven with @GeroldLab presenting her team's latest findings. All welcome to come join the discussion! Please RT to help spread the word. Any speaker suggestions for next series? Let us know.

Super exciting!!

@maddieaggilbert @_Josh_Jenkins @NayabFatima_ @drrenefrank Wahoooo! Nice one Maddie and co. Fab paper!

Our cryoET study of Alzheimer's pathology is out! 🧠 In situ amyloid to 8.7 Å, mysterious plaque constituents & the intriguing in-tissue organisations of Aβ and tau filaments! @_Josh_Jenkins @NayabFatima_ Tom O'Sullivan @drrenefrank & team 🤩 #teamtomo nature.com/articles/s4158…

So pleased to see this finally out in @NatureComms !! Huge team effort led by @MollyRPatterson with help from @joecogan3, @EthanLMorgan, @james_scarth and Twitter-less colleagues. @BBSRC @The_MRC @ScienceLeeds @wellcometrust nature.com/articles/s4146…

We had a great time @BeCuriousLeeds this weekend! ~180 budding scientists visited our stall, matching up custom-made base pairs and using our ribosome wheel to turn their code into a (key)chain of amino acids. @ScienceLeeds @UniversityLeeds #publicengagement #ribosomes (1/2)

Thank you to everyone that came today. It was a lot of fun! Hope you all had fun too! 😊🔬👩‍🔬

Looking for something fun to do with your kids this Saturday 18th May? Come to the University of Leeds for our annual science research festival. Loads of great activities around the research happening here. @BeCuriousLeeds @RiboCode @LabFontana @ScienceLeeds

Good things come to those who wait . . . After a phenomenal amount of work from our WHO-funded consortium our pre-print describing risk-free poliovirus vaccines is now online! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Vaccineswork #virology #VLPs 1/2
