Exciting News 🎉 Our discovery, revealing that a primary sugar-based receptor can trigger the opening of the HKU1 spike, is now online at @Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… A huge thanks to @raouljdegroot and the entire team for this exciting collaboration! #cryoEM #glycotime

How can you convince a coronavirus to share its cell entry secrets? Give it something sweet! 🍬 Using #cryoEM & MD, we show how a sugar-based receptor binds to the HKU1 spike and triggers opening via an allosteric mechanism (🧵). biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #glycotime #virology

Thrilled to announce that I've been promoted to Assistant Professor @UniUtrecht! I'll be leading the structural virology work within the Department of Biomolecular Health Sciences. Very thankful to my mentors, family, friends, colleagues and collaborators that got me here.

I think it is official now. FDA gave our two-step ELISA an emergency use authorization! Great collaboration between Mount Sinai's clinical lab (Drs. Carlos Cordon-Cardo, Adolfo Firpo, Rao Damodara Mendu and Jeffrey Jhang) and my team! fda.gov/media/137032/d…

Nothing makes lockdown days feel more repetitive than watching the same journalists asking the same questions and getting the same answers during every daily briefing... surely someone out there can start asking some new questions!
