Our one and only Institute of Virology Innsbruck (IVI) was well represented at the Tyrolean Company Run 2025. Thanks to all the employees who ran or cheered for us! It‘s been a blast. 🙏 #lovevirology #teamspirit

Thanks for the clarification. Indeed it is the passive immunization with Nirsevimqb that I was referring to.

Great news. The RSV vaccine will be freely available for newborns from October onwards. Effective protection from the most common cause of severe respiratory tract infection in newborns and toddlers.

David Baltimore passed away this weekend. A pioneer of molecular virology who won the Nobel prize in medicine & physiology for his discovery of viral reverse transcriptase. This essay he wrote in 2018 reflecting of his 60yr career in science is a great read. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Wonderful news for the #Virology community. Congratulations Carla @salehlabparis and all the best for this new era. You will do great! #WomenInSTEM #Science

Congratulations Dr. Yoo! 👏Today Ju Eun Yoo from our team successfully defended her #thesis work on #alphavirus transmission at the #mosquito - human interface. 🍾Stay tuned for her publication. Anybody looking for a talented postdoc: my highest recommendations! #lovevirology #prouddoctoralsupervisor

Scientist’s Sunday #triathlon: biking to the station, train ride (working) and evening run in very flat northern Germany ;) But it’s nice to be #home. The landscape is beautiful in a different way. #gratitude

Neuerliches Update der #FSME in Österreich Es wurden nun für Juni weitere Fälle aus OÖ, Stmk, Ktn, T und Vbg bestätigt Damit erhöht sich die Zahl aktuell auf 43 hospitalisierte Patienten, davon 7 Kinder weitere in Abklärung #homepage update erfolgt nächste Woche viro.meduniwien.ac.at/forschung/vi...

On my way to Hanover, where our last #PhDstudent from the Hannover team Ju Eun Yoo will defend her thesis tomorrow. Stay tuned! While Europe is facing a #heatwave, the beautiful scarf that @salehlabparis.bsky.social gave me for the inauguration is on board, in case the train AC is working. 😉

Yesterday at Gisa’s inaugural symposium Carla Saleh @salehlabparis.bsky.social and Elisabeth Puchhammer from @meduniwien.ac.at gave wonderful talks. A huge thank you to all colleagues, friends and family who came and celebrated with us! A bright start for the Institute of Virology Innsbruck (#IVI)!

Excellent talks and posters at the #Gordon research conference #Viruses & #Cells in Casteldelfels, Spain. Wonderful to meet colleagues and friends from all over the world.

Celebrating the successful move of our research labs on campus. Thanks a lot to everyone at the Institute of #Virology Innsbruck #IVI for your good #team spirit! 🙏To a bright and successful future in the new building! #lovevirology

Five months after moving the lab from Germany to Austria, we are again packing up offices and labs to move next door on campus. A huge thank you to all employees for keeping up the good spirit in these tricky times! #gratitude #teamspirit 🙏All because we #loveviroloy

Oh happy day 🎺🎉🥂🍾 Congratulations Dr. Duven! Mara defended her thesis today and did very well. 👏Thanks to the external reviewers Eva Herker and Andres Merits! Please find Mara‘s work on host factors of #encephalitic alphaviruses published in MBoC here: tinyurl.com/mpcc44rf #WomenInSTEM #virology

Please find our Society of Virology @gesvirologie.bsky.social statement on „5 years COVID-19“ here. It reflects on the pandemic, its scientific assessment and learnings. Thanks a lot to all colleagues making an effort to inform the public. 🙏

Thank you very much Anna Oeverby from @umeauniversitet.bsky.social for sharing exciting work on #TBEV #neuroinfection, SNSeq thereof, and 3D #imaging of infected brains; also for discussions on ongoing projects and future joint work. Scientific exchange kindly enabled by @infect-net.bsky.social 🙏

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all those wonderful #colleagues and #friends out there! Citing Serena Williams: "Every woman's success should be an inspiration to another. We're strongest when we cheer each other on." Much of #success, strength and #inspiration to you all! We can fly high!

Hundreds of #virologists queing for the dinner party of the #GfV2025 conference in #Hamburg. Thanks a lot to Thomas Dobner and his team for organizing a vibrant #conference of the #DACH society with terrific keynote speakers! 🙏 The GfV board of directors wishes all participants a safe trip home! 🤗

Ju Eun presenting her PhD work on the role of TIM-1 during #mosquito mammalian transmission of #alphaviruses at the #GfV2025 conference. Well done Ju Eun! 👏😃 @gesvirologie.bsky.social

The next keynote session on viral data science is now underway, with Ileana Cristea from Princeton talking about the interface between metabolism and immunity within a virus microenvironment. #GfV2025 (HMB)

The last presentation of the plenary session is by Felicia Goodrum and is about the antiviral resistance of cytomegalovirus. (CR)

Hot off the press. Joint work with the one and only Noushin Emami 🙏😃on mosquito behavior driven by odorants released from Zika virus infected skin cells. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

The 10th Swiss #Virology Meeting is fabulous. Thanks for inviting me as keynote. Interesting science and terrific questions by #students and #postdocs at the carreer session. Plus a nice location in Bern. #lovevirology

In a great collaboration with @hummerlab.bsky.social and the Kräusslich lab: HIV capsid doesn't break at the NPC; instead, it cracks open the NPC itself! Details in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @mpibp.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social A thread below:

The GeroldLab has moved to @meduniibk.bsky.social! This week we celebrated a fresh start with wonderful colleagues in Austria with terrific complementary expertise. Stay tuned! Thank you to the whole institute for the beautiful welcome flowers! 😍. #teamspirit #newbeginnings #lovevirology

Two weeks ago #GfV warned to reduce support for global Polio eradication initiative (GPEI): g-f-v.org/en/kampf-geg... Establishment of waste water monitoring in Germany is one of the few positive outcomes of the pandemic.

On the way home to Innsbruck after two productive days at the @gesvirologie.bsky.social board meeting in Düsseldorf. Important and fruitful discussions covering diverse topics in #virology in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Picture shows an art museum, but our board meeting location was nice too.

Hier mit richtigem Link - Sorry! @gesvirologie.bsky.social

On my way to the Leibniz Institute of Virology LIV to present our latest work on #arboviruses and multi-#omics. Thanks for the invite to the LIV students! 🙏Looking forward to seeing the Hamburg colleagues. 😃#LoveVirology

Congratulations Dr. Carriqui-Madronal! Belén defended her thesis today. Thank you Julie Sheldon @julieas73 and Judith Gottwein @JGottwein for serving as reviewers. Also a big thank you to Eike Steinmann @VirologyBochum for his efforts as co-supervisor. 🙏

Happy, insightful and peaceful new year friends and colleagues of the @GeroldLab. What better way to start the year than heading for a summit in the Austrian Alps and enjoying the ride down the mountain. 😍#lovevirology #lovemountains

Thank you Emanuel for this collaboration. Congratulations to first author Belén Carriqui-Madroñal! Ready to graduate.

Last week‘s meeting with the partners of our @HorizonEU pandemic preparedness initiative at @scilifelab @karolinskainst in Stockholm was a blast. Stay tuned and thanks to all the motivated and highly skilled partners! 🙏 Yes we can!

Sharing some #learnings from this summer‘s paragliding #safety training that apply to #science. Always try to keep the big picture in mind; know where you are and where you want to go. Even if things get out of control temporarily. 😉

We are looking for 2 postdocs (a molecular virologist and a bioinfomatician with wet lab experience) to work on our ERC-funded InVIRium project! We're based in Montpellier, France and we aim to better characterize respiratory virus replication in pertinent models of primary airway epithelia.

Hot off the press: @PostdocMiri from @GeroldLab together with the Bally Lab @KliniskMB and @WCMM_UmU @UmeaUniversity, characterized surface motion and kinetic advantages of enteric F-type adenoviruses during entry into duodenal cells: doi.org/10.1128/jvi....

We have a new team member! Anja de Bruin joined us from Erasmus Medical Center to work on our @HFSP funded project on #membrane shaping in #insect cells and how that affects #virus #infection. Exciting collaborations with @PerrimonLab and @AriottiNick ahead. Welcome Anja! #LoveVirology
