New study! We compared the first two full-proteome Enterovirus DMS datasets and found both shared and unique selection pressures—plus conserved druggable pockets. Great collaboration with @ptdolan.bsky.social ’s team! dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.... @bealro.bsky.social @i2sysbio.es

Quedan 2 semanas para postular a un doctorado en nuestro laboratorio (interacciones arbovirus-hospedador). 🎓 Título universitario (fuera de la UE, >2020) + máster relevante requeridos. 🔍 Detalles: i2sysbio.es/position/7/. #PhDposition #Virología #Arbovirus 🦟🧬🌍

📢 Exciting news! We will soon open two PhD positions at @i2sysbio.bsky.social @csic.es, in research projects in collaboration with the @bsc-cns.bsky.social. Both are related to tools to simulate biological tissues. Here’s the description of the open positions. #PhDpositions #PhDOpportunities 👇

A recent effort from the enterovirologists in the @rongellerlab.bsky.social. Interested in making or utilizing fluorescent reporter enteroviruses? Take a look. A Fluorescent Reporter Virus Toolkit for Interrogating Enterovirus Biology and Host Interactions www.preprints.org/manuscript/2...

4-year PhD fellowship in Virology available in our group @i2sysbio.bsky.social. Eligibility requires having a relevant university degree from outside of the EU obtained after 1/1/2020 and having (or soon to have) a relevant Master degree (preferably from Spain). See i2sysbio.es/position/7/

Our recent collaborative work showing the promising broad-spectrum antiviral activity of chitosan sulfate derivatives against SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and Sindbis virus is finally online. Check it out! Detailed mechanisms and in vivo characterization included! rdcu.be/eb9IQ

Latest #virology research from the lab! 👇 Using genetic approaches and live-cell imaging, we show that the viral 2A protease plays a critical role in subverting antiviral responses and establishing a favorable host environment to expedite enterovirus replication. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Yesterday we had the first #ValenciaVirologyMeeting. Great to see we have a solid virology community right here! Thanks Rafa Sanjuan and @SantiagoFElena for helping to chair our discussion on de novo virus design and synthetic viruses and Jesus Rodriguez Diaz for co-organizing.

Making recombinant VSV? Our codon-optimized helper plasmids are now available at @Addgene: www.addgene.org/Ron_Geller/. Method details here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just shipped our optimized helper plasmids for producing recombinant VSV to Addgene/@addgene.bsky.social from our recent paper (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). Keep an eye out for them if you make recombinant VSV.

A farewell lunch to Marianoel Pereira from Pasteur Institute of Montevideo in Uruguay who spent a couple of months in our lab learning high-fidelity Illumina sequencing of viruses.
