Wie in diesem Beitrag diskutiert wird, werden HIV-Infizierte nach wie vor stigmatisiert. Zusätzlich werden Gelder für Präventionsmaßnahmen, Aufklärungskampagnen und Forschungsprojekte weltweit schleichend reduziert. Das könnte negative Folgen haben – auch bei uns. (2/2) (HMB)

Heute ist Welt-AIDS-Tag. HIV hat seinen Schrecken als tödliche Erkrankung verloren. Trotz des medizinischen Fortschritts steigen jedoch die Neuinfektionen, auch hier in Deutschland, und Infektionen werden spät diagnostiziert. (1/2) www.tagesschau.de/wissen/gesun...

"Neuer Influenza-Subtyp: Was in dieser Grippesaison zu erwarten ist"- dazu nehmen @klausueberla.bsky.social und @ulrike-protzer.bsky.social im folgenden Beitrag Stellung 👇 (HMB) www.tagesschau.de/wissen/gesun...

The 2025 ACHIEVE Mentoring Program mid-term meeting was a resounding success! A glimpse into the future of virology from Prof. Bartenschlager, career advice & lively networking. 1/2

Yesterday, I had a great opportunity to present one current project at the IOLIN symposium.

📣 to junior @gesvirologie.bsky.social members: consider applying for this excellent opportunity and build your network👇

Highly recommended for late PhDs and Postdocs👇 #LoveVirology

Die Situation mit der H5N1-"Vogelgrippe" ist besorgniserregend– unglaublich viele Vögel (einschl. Nutzgeflügel) sind in 🇩🇪 bereits an dem Virus verendet oder mussten gekeult werden. Auch Säugetiere (Stichwort: Rinder) können sich anstecken. Unsere aktuelle Stelllungnahme: g-f-v.org/stellungnahm...

Noch einmal zur Vogelgrippe– eine Impfung von Geflügel gegen den H5N1-Erreger könnte Tierverluste, wirtschaftlichen Schaden aber auch die Virusausbreitung eindämmen. Asisa Volz, Vorsitzende unserer Kommission für Zoonosen, sprach mit dem Deutschlandfunk: www.deutschlandfunk.de/h5n1-impfung...

Life of a #PI: As a working mom, you have to adapt quickly to changes in plans during fall break. The best thing you can do is not stress yourself out too much and reward yourself and your child after two full days of work and classes.

Nicht alle Viren machen uns krank, tatsächlich nur ein ganz kleiner Teil von ihnen. Andere leben auf und in uns, und manche sind sogar fester Bestandteil unseres Erbguts! Ein Einblick in die vielen Facetten der Virologie bei @quarkswdr.bsky.social: www.ardmediathek.de/video/Y3JpZD...

🦠 Abstract submission for the 35th Annual Meeting of the Society for Virology is open! Share your research with the virology community and help shape the scientific dialogue next year in Heidelberg. 🕐 Deadline: Jan 4, 2026 🔗 virology-meeting.de/programme-ab... #GfV2026 #virology #virologymeeting

Last week, @ako98.bsky.social gave her first poster presentation at the #Retropath meeting in Tübingen, where I also presented the excellent work of João Côrte-Real. @agschindler.bsky.social and @sauterlab.bsky.social did a fantastic job organizing the meeting. #ProudPI #Retroviruses

Our action chair, @michalvinkler.bsky.social, kicked-off #EVIMNET - funded by @costprogramme.bsky.social Happy to contribute as MC member and as #stakeholder engagement coordinator together with Mónica Cunha and @arcova.bsky.social. More information can be found here: www.cost.eu/actions/CA24...

Our Evolutionary immunology network (EVIM-NET) supported by @costprogramme.bsky.social through the COST Action (CA24133: share.google/4k3Ma3VjXKuw...) has it's kick-off meeting today in Brussels. We are starting!

It was a real pleasure to host @goffinetlab.bsky.social from the @lstmnews.bsky.social today. She presented her team's recent progress in #HIV cure and #MPOX tropism and shared her experiences with junior researchers. Thanks also to @infect-net.bsky.social for making this event possible.

I am very pleased to be hosting @goffinetlab.bsky.social from @lstmnews.bsky.social tomorrow, sponsored by @infect-net.bsky.social 📣: Feodor-Lynen lecture hall @genecenter-lmu.bsky.social 🕙 18.9. 1:00 pm

Ich denke, Jörg Timm, Vizepräsident der GfV, spricht hier für viele Virologen: "Hat uns schon überrascht" www.ndr.de/nachrichten/... (MB)

Excited to co-organize this year's Immunobiology of Viral Infections workshop with Hannes Vietzen! We’re looking forward to seeing many early career scientists working on all aspects of antiviral immunity — don’t miss it! 👇

Excited to share our Science Advances paper reporting the first 3D structure of HERV‑K Env—a novel therapeutic target in cancer and autoimmune diseases. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

'TRIM28 is a target for paramyxovirus V proteins'. Work led by Gauthier Lieber seeks to address whether host activation of endogenous retroelements contributes to antiviral defences. In support of this idea, he describes a viral mechanism that might limit this host response. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

📢 Countdown: 1 month until #Retropath2025! Registration is still open — join us in Tübingen for outstanding keynote lectures + cutting-edge research on #retroviruses and #HERVs. More info 👉 evis.events/event/469/.

Die Finanzierungspause für GoF Forschung in den USA und Ländern mit unklaren Sicherheitsstandards soll zur Optimierung von Regulierungsstrukturen, ähnlich den in Europa geltenden Regeln, genutzt werden. Dabei sollten Wissenschaftler beteiligt werden um notwendige Forschung nicht zu blockieren. (LB)

The American Society for Microbiology is committed to ensuring that scientific research is conducted adhering to strict standards for biosafety and biosecurity, but pausing research is not the path forward. Read our statement: asm.org/press-releas...

It was a pleasure to attend the first #APG2025 symposium at UNAM Juriquilla and to listen to great keynote lectures given by @christinawarinner.bsky.social and @scs22.bsky.social. A big thanks to @dbm003.bsky.social and @paleogenomics.bsky.social and their organizing committee 👏.

Day 2 of the #APG2025 Paleoproteomics Workshop was a great success with me constructing my first phylogenetic tree using paleoproteomics. I am looking forward to the next two days at the Paleogenomics Symposium at UNAM Campus Juriquilla

Learning a lot of new things, both theoretical and practical, on day 1 of the #APG2025 Paleoproteomics workshop at UNAM Campus Juriquilla.
