The next big cancer boom is oropharyngeal in men. HPV is already endemic, vaccines are gender-late, and there’s zero screening for half the population. While you meme about “throat goat” culture, oncologists are quietly booking 40-year-olds for tonsillectomies. onlinelibrary.wiley....

A very different publication from the group! Here, we look at the potential impact of HPV in Men. Exceptional work from Keesha Coker, who did this as her undergraduate thesis project at @biochembiomeduos.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We also have a PhD project available in the Tumour Virology group at The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics. Please feel free to contact me for further details. www.cing.ac.cy/education

We are hiring! We are looking for a Laboratory Scientific Officer to join our new group at The Cyprus Institute of Neurology & Genetics. Please share and feel free to message me for further details. The link for the advert is below cing.ac.cy/en/vacancies...

After settling in during my first week, I’m happy to share that I have started a new position as an Associate Senior Scientist/Group Head at The Cyprus Institute of Neurology & Genetics!

Presenting PhD #4 from our group and it’s our first Dr Dr! 🙌🍾 🎉 Many congratulations Clinical Fellow Hyun Park on his successful PhD defence yesterday. Wishing him all the best in his clinical ACF post in Reading/Oxford. Thanks @ethanlmorgan.bsky.social & Prof Yang Shi for PhD thesis examination!

A bit late to post but glad to see our review on novel oncogenic mechanisms of the HPV oncoproteins. Great work from undergraduate student Denise in my lab @biochemsoc.bsky.social @biochembiomeduos.bsky.social #HPV portlandpress.com/biochemsoctr...

Great stuff @rhysmorganlab.bsky.social and coauthors @biochembiomeduos.bsky.social!

Last month Dr @ethanlmorgan.bsky.social was invited to the EUROGIN Congress in Portugal to present his research targeting HPV driven head and neck cancers. Look out for him at the @microbiologysociety.org annual meeting this week in Liverpool too! 👊

Had a great time at #EUROGIN in Porto earlier this month - thanks for inviting me to speak! Now time for #MicroSoc Annual conference in Liverpool! @microbiologysociety.org

Excited to report our latest research on new “molecular glues” that specifically lock the BRCC36 isopeptidase complex (BRISC) in an autoinhibited state and reduce interferon signalling. This first-of-its-kind approach could reshape how we target large deubiquitylase (DUB) complexes. rdcu.be/edRwF

Our departmental highlight of the week! @ethanlmorgan.bsky.social and PhD student Louisa Wootton review the current understanding around Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins in HPV-driven carcinogenesis in @natureportfolio.nature.com Oncogene out now!

Glad to finally see this online 🎉 Excellent work from PhD student Louisa in my group www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m looking for a postdoc to join my team under a recently funded ERC Starting Grant. If you’re passionate about structural #virology and have experience in #cryoEM SPA and/or #cryoET, get in touch! Application deadline: January 19th. Please share with your networks 🙏 Job link: tiny.cc/7v33001

Couldn’t find a virology starter pack so here’s one to get the ball rolling. Repost/reply if you are a virologist so I can find and add you to the list! go.bsky.app/SinqoJU
