Moving on to the final session of what has been an absolutely stellar #CiViASymposium: Caroline Goujon (@irim-life.bsky.social) on "Identification of host genes regulating respiratory #virus infection in a highly pertinent model of primary airway epithelia cultured at the air-liquid interface".

Continuing our great line-up of excellent speakers at #CiViASymposium is Laura Martin-Sancho from Imperial College London (@imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social), presenting her work on the landscape of host defences against emergent #viruses (such as #dengue 🦟 ).

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.

Kicking off Day 2 of our #CiViASymposium (expertly chaired by Prof Kristina Broliden) is Prof Greg Towers ( @towerslab.bsky.social‬ , @UCL.ac.uk) about the role of innate #immune evasion in the #pandemic potential of #viruses.

Why do the brain’s professional phagocytes stop clearing amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease? Can we restore microglial superpowers & rescue dying neurons in AD?
