🌍 27 December marked the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness! 🦠 COMBINE is committed to strengthening Europe’s ability to respond to emerging and re-emerging viral diseases. Learn more on our website 🔗 combine-marv.eu/project/impact

❄️ Season’s greetings from the COMBINE team! As our first project year comes to an end, we want to thank all partners and supportors for their contributions to our shared mission – strengthening Europe’s #PandemicPreparedness. Wishing you a restful holiday season and a healthy & inspiring 2026!

🦠 Emerging viruses demand fast, coordinated responses. COMBINE strives to create a versatile pipeline to support quick, effective collaboration across countries. Learn more about how we want to reach this goal 🔗 combine-marv.eu/project/obje... #combineMARV #PandemicPreparedness #MarburgVirus

🌍 It’s #OneHealth Day! Did you know human, animal & environmental health are deeply interconnected? An insightful historical example is the origin story of #MarburgVirus. The first outbreak in 1967 showed how zoonotic diseases can cross borders fast. #combineMARV #Zoonosis #PandemicPreparedness

🌍 Join us at the @defender-project.bsky.social International Symposium for a keynote by our #combineMARV coordinator @christian-7.bsky.social! 🎟️ Register free of charge for a day of insights, collaboration & global exchange 🔗 lnkd.in/eY9JwzXY #PandemicPreparedness #Collaboration #EUfunded

📢 Postdoctoral opportunity! Join the #combineMARV project at the University of Oslo to study host–virus interactions using proteomics and mass spectrometry. 🧬 3-year #postdoc position ⏰ Apply by 6 Nov 2025 🔗 www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... #Proteomics #Virology #PandemicPreparedness #EUfunded

🦠 Ever wondered how viruses communicate with our cells? Our coordinator @christian-7.bsky.social gave a science talk: “Small talk with consequences – Communication between virus and cell”. 🖥️ The recording in German is now online: www.youtube.com/live/xBz-kAh... 📸 ©phaeno/Andreas Rudolph

📆 Interesting event for German speakers❗ Join our coordinator @christian-7.bsky.social at his science talk! 📍 phaeno Science Theatre & Online 🗓 18 September | 18:30 🔗 Learn more: lnkd.in/emnVeBVZ 🖥️ Livestream: lnkd.in/e5DkKcQe #combineMARV #Marburgvirus #pandemicpreparedness #science

🦠 What do Influenza, Rabies, Ebola and Marburg virus have in common? 💡 They are all zoonoses! We want to take #WorldZoonosesDay as an opportunity to promote understanding of the key terms when talking about zoonotic diseases. #combineMARV #Zoonosis #PandemicPreparedness #MarburgVirus

🖥️ Meet Laura Zernickow 🤝 Laura is a Communications Manager at EURICE – European Research and Project Office GmbH.

🗣️❔ Always wanted to have a conversation with a scientist? 💡 Take the chance & talk one-to-one with @christian-7.bsky.social at Salon der Wissenschaft (Salon of Science) in Braunschweig. Register (free of charge) 🔗 www.salonderwissenschaft.de/en/ #combineMARV #pandemicpreparedness #science

🧪 Meet Costin-Ioan Popescu 🤝 In COMBINE his team at the Institute of Biochemistry of the Romanian Academy will use their expertise to develop vaccine candidates formulation and support the host-pathogen interaction studies.

🔬 Meet Erdinc Sezgin 🤝 @sciezgin.bsky.social is leading CSI:Nano Lab located at @ki.se‬. In COMBINE his team will focus on the biophysics of host-pathogen interactions by using advanced imaging tools and synthetic biology.

🦠 Meet Lennart Martens 🤝 Lennart is leading the Computational Omics and Systems Biology (CompOmics) group at ‪@viblifesciences.bsky.social‬.

🔬 Meet Tuula Nyman 🤝 Tuula is leading the research group Proteomics at the University of Oslo. In COMBINE her team will perform advanced proteomic analysis of MARV-infected host cell samples to identify signalling cascades activated by MARV-cell binding.

🧪 Meet Nadine Biedenkopf 🤝 @biedenkopflab.bsky.social is a junior group leader at the Institute of Virology at the @unimarburg.bsky.social.

📢 New findings help scientists understand how viruses enter host cells in unprecedented detail! 💬 “The methodology we have developed to investigate the virus entry process can be applied to many other viruses,” says @christian-7.bsky.social. 👀 Check out the article: shorturl.at/UJFRM

🦠Meet Christian Sieben 🤝 @christian-7.bsky.social is our project coordinator in COMBINE and leading a young research group at @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social, Germany's largest state research institution addressing global challenges in infectious diseases.

🦠 Meet the #combineMARV partners! 🤝 📆 Over the coming weeks all our consortium partners will introduce themselves to you & explain their role in COMBINE. 👀 If you cannot wait to learn more visit our website & watch our meet the partners video 🔗 combine-marv.eu #MarburgVirus #PandemicPreparedness

💉This week marks #EuropeanImmunisationWeek. 🦠In COMBINE we strive to strengthen #PandemicPreparedness by advancing our understanding of virus host-cell interaction & cellular uptake mechanisms, using #MarburgVirus as a model, and developing novel inhibitors & vaccine candidates against #MARV.

❕ Great news! We launched our website! 🦠 🔗 Visit combine-marv.eu to learn more about our project, objectives, and the great minds behind #combineMARV. 👀 Stay tuned for more news! #MARV #MarburgVirus #EUresearch

🌍 The #combineMARV project brings together a multidisciplinary research team of 7 partners from 5 countires. 🦠 Together, we seek to improve #PandemicPreparedness by developing an innovative experimental pipeline for identifying & targeting proteins involved in the virus attachment process.

We are excited to introduce you to the #combineMARV project! 🦠 🔬 This #EUfunded project sets out to advance our understanding of virus cell entry, using the #MarburgVirus as a model – a critical cornerstone of #PandemicPreparedness. Stay tuned for updates & visit our website 🔗 combine-marv.eu
