Excited to share our latest publication! We show that hypoxia suppresses interferon responses to rotavirus, resulting in increased viral burden in vitro. Congratulations to @sorinjacobs.bsky.social and all co-authors for this great work! @meganstanifer.bsky.social @boulantlab.bsky.social

Basal IFN-λ2/3 expression mediates tight junction formation in human epithelial cells Megan Stanifer, @boulantlab.bsky.social and colleagues www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

How does steady-state type III IFN signaling relate to barrier function? Find out here: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... Congratulations to Yağmur Keser and Camila Metz-Zumaran for this amazing and comprehensive study! @boulantlab.bsky.social @meganstanifer.bsky.social

We’re back with another season of monthly seminars bringing together diverse and leading investigators worldwide to share cutting-edge arbovirus science. 🧬 Topics span molecular virology, virus–vector interactions, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and more. 📅 3rd Thursday each month 🕚 11 AM US ET Zoom

🥂 Ein Grund zu Feiern: Wir haben den Verband Deutscher Infektionsforscherinnen gegründet! 👩‍🔬🦠🥳 Am 25. März 2025 haben wir in München einen Verein gegründet, um die Ziele und die Mission von #InfectNet langfristig weiterzuführen und weiterzuentwickeln. 💜 #megastolz 👉 www.infectnet.org/web/blog-pos...

Excited to share our new paper led by recent PhD, Dr. Hannah Schmidt! We found that UFMylation unexpectedly promotes flavivirus particle production by specifically regulating viral assembly. Check it out! #virology #UFMylation #flaviviruses journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Interested in #trafficking in polarized cells? a post doc Position is available in @boulantlab.bsky.social lab in sunny Florida to work on a joint NSF-DFG project with us in Berlin! Steeve also has a 2nd position on gut hypoxia and viral immunity! please spread the word and repost!

Exciting news! We have two postdoc positions opened in our lab @UF! Study gut hypoxia & virus immunity OR immunity and intracellular trafficking in polarized cells. Come do cool science with a fun team! Check out all details: boulantlab.com/opportunities #PostdocJobs #ScienceTwitter

It's finally time for some #bunyavirales and #tick borne viruses with Ben Brennan from @cvrinfo.bsky.social and his much anticipated talk, this THURSDAY 17th. All welcome! Please help us with a re-post. 🕷️🦠🧫

Hi everyone, what's up? We have our monthly seminar this week, with some super cool work on arbovirus entry receptors from leading researcher Jolanda Smit from @unigroningen.bsky.social All welcome - help spread the news with a re-post 🙂 NOTE THE EARLIER TIME for everyone outside the USA

Happy to finally see this study published, a great collaboration between academic, government and industry labs! We show that CCHFV GP38 can induce vascular leak and that this can be prevented by protective but not virus-neutralizing antibodies! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

US-Präsident Trump kürzt massiv Fördergelder für die Wissenschaft in den USA. Das hat auch direkte Auswirkungen auf die virologische Forschung in Europa und Deutschland und könnte die Pandemieforschung vor große Probleme stellen. Mehr dazu im Deutschlandfunk: www.deutschlandfunk.de/stand-up-for...

And that was that – the 34th annual virology meeting ended today, with awards and an outlook on the meeting next year in Heidelberg. We at the GfV are very grateful to the local organizing team from @leibnizliv.bsky.social, the many many helpers as well as catering and Conventus!

It’s a wrap.. I had a fantastic time at #GfV2025 discussing cool science and connecting with inspiring colleagues! Thanks for the opportunity to present our work on how hypoxia affects rotavirus infection and all the inspiring questions. @gesvirologie.bsky.social

Great talk from @zinauckeley.bsky.social at the German society of virology #GfV2025 How hypoxia in the gut impacts rotavirus infection. Great feedbacks from the attendees! Great meeting as usual!

Our undergrad Victoria explains her project! Fantastic work 💪
