We are ready for @cvrinfo.bsky.social Xmas party🎄🎭

How does fever work? Our new Science paper shows how elevated body temperature can protect against severe influenza and that avian-origin viruses escape this defence. This is likely one reason why bird flus and some pandemic influenzas can be so severe.🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are at our future planning meeting with Genomics team at main campus of University 🏰 @cvrbioinfo.bsky.social

Today we are showcasing our Lego based DNA sequencer at @cvrinfo.bsky.social summer party. ☀️⛱️

Had great fun at the Glasgow science Centre showing how DNA sequencing works using our Lego based GO-seq. Fantastic to see the imaginative new viruses the children sequenced too! @cvrinfo.bsky.social @cvrbioinfo.bsky.social @glasgowscience.bsky.social

Today we have been at the Glasgow Science Centre showcasing our new Lego based DNA sequencer: GO-Seq, to learn about respiratory viruses, their DNA and sequencing. @cvrinfo.bsky.social @glasgowscience.bsky.social

SFTSV is a deadly tick-borne virus. In this study, Petit et al. used a multi-omics approach to reveal antiviral responses in SFTSV-infected tick cells @virotick.bsky.social @brennanlab.bsky.social @cvrinfo.bsky.social @uniofsurrey.bsky.social

📢 EVENT | 27th Glasgow Virology Workshop Join us for a day of interesting talks & discussions. Speakers: Adam Bailey, Louis Lambrechts, Kirsty Roy, Judy Breuer, Sheila Graham, Juan Reguera & a selection of students. 📆 Fri 5th Sept 2025 🔗 Register: gla.ac.uk/research/az/...

Are you doing a PhD or research Masters in Virology? Want to be part of a community of like-minded researchers from across the UK and Ireland? We're excited to announce the first annual conference run by and for postgraduate research students in Virology. Please sign up, and please spread the word!

Our viral #Bioinformatics course has come to an end 🎉 @cvrinfo.bsky.social This year we welcomed 15 amazing participants from Europe, Asia, Africa & Oceania🌍 Huge thanks to everyone who joined — and to our instructors!

Had a delicious #VGB2025 course dinner at Ka Pao 🍽️😋 At another buffet-style social, @quangu.bsky.social welcomed everyone with a traditional Scottish folk song 🎤

As the collaborating centre of @woahglobal.bsky.social , we’re thrilled to launch our 8th annual course on viral bioinformatics & genomics! Welcome speech by @cvrinfo.bsky.social director @emcat1.bsky.social & head of Bioinformatics @davidlrobertson.bsky.social 🧬📊 #bioinformatics #genomics

OMG! I can finally share my joy to see my SFTSV work published in @natcomms.nature.com! This adventure started by the award of my MSCA grant and my move to the Kohl and @brennanlab.bsky.social at @cvrinfo.bsky.social. Let's chat about how we discovered novel tick anti-viral effectors!

Finally A BIG THANK YOU to all my co-authors, they made this long journey started in 2021 a bit smoother! Thanks to Scaturro lab, Kohl lab, @brennanlab.bsky.social, @quangu.bsky.social, and Dundee proteomics! And of course thanks to the Tick cell Biobank and Lesley for those tiny cells!

We are proud that the University of Glasgow has been ranked 101-150th globally in @timeshighered.bsky.social World Reputation Rankings 2025! 🌎 This is the definitive list of the world’s most prestigious Universities, as chosen by academics around the globe. More ➡️ gla.ac/4b8mrfO #THEreputation

📢 After 14 years of successful leadership, Prof Massimo Palmarini has stepped down as CVR Director. Prof Emma Thomson, a leading expert in emerging infectious diseases, will act as Interim Director, continuing the CVR’s vital work in virus research. 🔗 gla.ac.uk/news/headlin...

Today’s @CVRinfo.bsky.social coffee morning hosted by the CVR Genomics Team is great 👍 We are also celebrating Lunar New Year of Snake! 🐍🏮🧧

What will viruses do next?🦠 New article from @naturecomms.bsky.social explores how #AI is transforming viral evolution prediction. Research from @davidlrobertson.bsky.social uses AI to better understand these vast evolutionary trajectories & determine their limits. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Do you want to become a virologist? The @CVRinfo PhD programme is now recruiting for both UK and international applicants - rotate in two labs then choose a project tailored to your interests. Also you get to live in Glasgow, which is fab. Please RT! www.findaphd.com/phds/program...
