Our study describing the isolation and characterisation of contemporary seasonal #coronaviruses is out 🦠🎉🎊 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... Led by @jessneil26.bsky.social at @thedohertyinst.bsky.social

Very excited to share our latest preprint describing the isolation and characterization of neutralizing HCoV-229E-directed antibodies from a human donor! Great collaboration between DHVI and the Baric and Sheahan (@timothysheahan.bsky.social) labs at UNC. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Calling all virologists: my lab is hiring a tech for high containment work! Come work with our amazing team at 🇨🇦's National Pandemic Research Centre, using experimental, systems biology, & AI-driven approaches to study infection & pathogenesis of emerging viruses. vido.applytojobs.ca/research/38682

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia -the main cluster lacks a link to a camel, which means there is one or more missing cases. But that's not unusual for #MERS-CoV outbreaks. Prolonged contact necessary for transmission. www.who.int/emergencies/...

Always a treat to catch up with past and current members of the Beard Lab 🦠 @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social #AVS12

I have a few brief thoughts on this just released Science paper on the adaptation potential of bovine #H5N1 HA. Its very good work by very good group at Scripps! Think people need to be cautious in assessing the actualized risk out of this one study. #influenza www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I've made a starter pack for Aussie virologists joining Bluesky at #AVS12. Let me know if you would like to be added- please share 🤗 @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social go.bsky.app/FgBEzfc
