🧬 Exciting news from our lab 🧬 The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has approved our project studying KSHV and RNA decay: our first grant since re-launching the lab in Switzerland 🎉 We’re now looking for a Postdoc and a PhD student to join the team (start date January 2026) - please repost!

I'm thrilled to announce I'll be joining the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at the University of Florida in January 2026! My lab will study RNA virus-host interactions with a particular focus on the spatial regulation of viral replication and innate immune activation. genoyerlab.com

Very excited to share the first publication from the Price Lab, "Replication-competent adenovirus reporters utilizing endogenous viral expression architecture", is now online at Journal of Virology! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

So excited to see our newest study out in print! Led by the brilliant @jgezelle.bsky.social and @sophiekorn.bsky.social, we discovered how viruses from highly divergent families converge on a shared RNA structure mechanism to inhibit cellular nucleases. #RNAsky #LoveVirology

First ever Price Lab paper accepted this morning!!! Hopefully follow-up post soon to showcase our new systems.

The 20 years of sneezes to the face is what sent me, but every panel has a line that makes me laugh!

Excited to share that our latest story on Restrictor is out now in @genesdev.bsky.social!! Big thank you to my fellow co-first author Hanneke, Karen @adelmanlab.bsky.social and co-authors Nathalie and Allison!

We are excited to share our recent work: EBNA leader protein orchestrates chromatin architecture remodeling during Epstein-Barr virus-induced B cell transformation url: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

The Price Lab turned two years old this week! Of course we celebrated with cake, but the cherry on top was submitting our labs very first manuscript today! Excited to see what the rest of the year holds.

Postdoc positions available! Please re-post! Are you interested in how viruses manipulate chromatin? Are you excited to discover unknown facets of molecular biology? If so, we’d love to hear from you! Come check us out at: avgoustilab.org

Excited to share with you my postdoctoral work published today in Nature Microbiology! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We have known for a while that stress can impact the outcome of infectious diseases; however, we reveal in our paper that it is not always detrimental.

#NewResearch 🚨Out now! Environmental stress drives clearance of a persistent enteric virus in mice 🐀 @christinviral.bsky.social @cadwelllab.bsky.social #MicroSky #VirusSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Love Park in Philly today for the No Kings protest 👏👏👏

Excited to share our editorial on peer review, out now in #mBio! This was a mighty group effort with my mBio Early Career Editorial Board peer mentoring group @proctordm.bsky.social and Rachy Abraham. From novice to expert: preparing your peer review | mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

With all that is happening it is very exciting to see the Price Lab's very first, in-house, Oxford Nanopore direct RNA seq running! Not bad for a ~3 year expired flow cell!

🚨 URGENT RESPONSE CALL 🚨 Trump’s Fool’s Gold Science EO is a dangerous sham. It gives his appointees the power to dismiss entire bodies of research and punish researchers who fail to fall in line with his agenda. We’ve launched an open letter. SIGN & SHARE NOW: actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

Potentially one of the coolest models I have ever seen...

Amazing!! Need to read right away to finally understand what I've been working with!

Thrilled to see our work now in @cp-molcell.bsky.social! It was an incredible privilege to do my postdoc with @ophirshalem.bsky.social and work alongside the super talented Steph Sansbury and our amazing co-authors. Excited to keep building on this research in our new lab at @rwjms.bsky.social!

Check out our paper, now extensively revised and published in @cp-molcell.bsky.social! This has been a real tour de force led by Stephanie Sansbury and @ysereb.bsky.social and we are very excited about the findings and future potential of this approach www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Amazing work! Glad to see it published by Lindsey Soles and Yongsheng Shi.

In the midst of everything it feels particularly appropriate to highlight all the amazing #RNA research taking place at #NIH! Follow this thread to join us for our biannual #RNASymposium, this year featuring intramural research superstars!

Our newest work reveals that SARS-CoV-2 evolved to produce a truncated version of its N protein to antagonize antiviral responses. This 'mini' N, called N*M210, sequesters dsRNA, blocks interferon activation, defeats RNaseL & disassembles stress granules and p-bodies. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Even with all that is going on it is still important to laugh. However, this take is 100% true. #RNAsky

Happy Holidays from the Price Lab! Very excited to host our inaugural lab get-together, complete with secret white elephant gift exchange and hot chocolate bar. I am grateful to this team we are creating together, and looking forward to some big announcements in 2025 and beyond!

Our work on cellular RNA interactions with MAVS that promote antiviral signaling is finally live. So grateful to our indispensable collaborators as well as reviewers who helped to strengthen our work. #RNA #innateimmunity #virology @ramlabuw.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Outstanding opportunity, and everyone should follow Nandan's work in his new lab.

Excited to have this second paper out from the QVEU! Postdoc @williambakhache.bsky.social led this effort along with @orrwalk.bsky.social and Lauren McCormick to explore the tolerance of the Enterovirus EV-A71 to substitutions, insertions, and deletions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Virus-modified paraspeckle-like condensates are hubs for viral RNA processing and their formation drives genomic instability www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's my great pleasure to present the next big preprint from SheqLab! An exciting application of our O-MAP platform that I hope will transform the study of nuclear architecture. If you've ever wanted to dissect the subnuclear "neighborhood" around an individual locus, read on! (1/30)

I wasn't warned that becoming a father as a PI would also come with constantly oscillating between guilt of not doing enough for my child and not doing enough for my lab. #AcademicSky #SciSky

Excited to share our latest work! In it, we develop a new method for studying RNA localization via proximity labeling: OINC-seq! In contrast to other proximity-based methods, labels deposited on RNAs are read directly by sequencing without the need for biotinylation. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
