Proud to be in a class with some seriously impressive up-and-comers. Inaugural class here: journals.asm.org/journal/jvi/... I'll be penning an article with colleague and friend @hanckslab.bsky.social on mitochondrial proteins that moonlight to execute immune responses @jvico-eics.bsky.social

New preprint! We found that the flavin-dependent halogenase RebH catalyzes sequence-tolerant Trp bromination in peptides 🧪https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.17.694899v1

New in ACS SynBio: led by Dennis Bolshakov, we used the awesome power of yeast to define how expression levels, noise, and sequence program the dynamics of synthetic protein waves, allowing us to genetically encode new cellular timescales stable over generations! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

The Akhtar Lab @manneresearch.bsky.social and Northwestern University @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social is hiring a full time RESEARCH TECHNICIAN. If you want to study neonatal HSV pathogenesis please send me a message and apply for the position here: luriechildrens.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/externalport...

🧵 Thread on our new @natcomms.nature.com paper: TLDR -- ADP-ribosylation inhibits viral replication and represents a previously under-appreciated arm of innate immunity during flu infection. Read along for the details…. (1/11) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Unfortunately the drop in ESI funding rates is not paired with changes in funding required to get tenure. It’s not just the next three years of our labs at risk, but the rest of our careers. We are also the cohort that started in the COVID pandemic- it’s been nothing but “unprecedented times”…

New work led by Madison Bandini out in @pnas.org using live cell imaging to show how HIV targets the cell cycle to double viral genomes and increase transcription. Awesome collaboration with cell cycle heroes in Suzuki lab @mcardlelab.bsky.social @uwmadison.bsky.social. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Awesome to see Ye's work from my lab featured on the cover of @rnajournal.bsky.social 's January issue! It's an awesome story about 3' splice selection and how Prp8 and Prp22 may communicate with one another! The structure shown is @maxewilkinson.bsky.social 's P complex (9DTR)

Put a perspective piece together on how fever may have driven the evolution of antiviral genes: rupress.org/jem/article/...

youtu.be/ra0WKNhQZ0U Refreshingly, this pulls zero punches, and lands them squarely on the liars, grifters and frauds responsible for the lab leak hoax and the authoritarian persecution of science and scientists.

Haven’t posted for a while but @jezcarlton.bsky.social opening up the annual UK membrane trafficking meeting #UKMT seems like an appropriate reason to post! Great line up - as ever - with organisers Jez and Chris Stefan introducing a poster session too 🤓

Hooray for Dr. Bandini!!

I am very excited to announce that a fully funded PhD position is available in my group. Topic: Synergistic coevolution in mono-specific and multi-species microbial consortia Please RT or forward this information to interested candidates. Deadline: 11.01.26 More info: shorturl.at/f1TuF

Had a great conversation with Vincent Racaniello, Rich Condit, and Angela Mingarelli on This Week in Virology (TWiV) about vaccines and current policy. We kept coming back to nuance — something that's been in short supply lately. @microbetv.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo5R...

1/ We are making progress towards finding a cure for HIV. In a trial @UCSF led by Steve Deeks and @michaelpelusomd.bsky.social, 7/10 participants who received a combination of immunotherapies achieved partial control of HIV after stopping antiretroviral therapy (ART).🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NIH FY26 might be worse than FY25. We have a CR and the NIH still citing the presidents budget request, an unofficial multi year funding mandate, apparently no paylines, IC leadership turnover, continued OMB/Vought interference, more shutdowns likely This is a recipe for total paralysis.

A lot of the transformational advances in HIV science — Truvada PrEP, Treatment as prevention (HPTN 052), U=U, lenacapavir PrEP etc. happened under Carl's watch. A kind and generous person to boot. Huge loss.

As someone who has worked in HIV for 35+ years, I can tell you Carl is a consummate scientific leader. We’ve been lucky to have him at head of DAIDS. The only thing that wins here is the virus.

What should we expect this flu season? Here’s a forecast from a wastewater perspective (because sh*t don’t lie) 1/

Such a tragedy for the tech world—Congress hasn’t reauthorized the SBIR program and all solicitations have been expired. All biotech is being hit! Please call your representatives! #SBIR #NIH

This is a very sad day for public health and evidence-based science in general.

Our newest #WisconsinIngenuity essay explores how @uwmadison.bsky.social and Stellenbosch University are co-creating solutions to urgent challenges, from epidemic surveillance to sustainable materials. #WARF100 @uwbiochem.bsky.social

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
