First Time at Microbiology Society annual conference! Thank you to anyone who came to see me speak about HCV E2 and its wobbly (but maybe not so wobbly(?!)) HVR-1!

You know it was a great talk because my boss Joe Grove looks REALLY engaged haha!!

🎙️ NEW | CVR meets Dr. Angela Rasmussen!

In this CVR Presents: Research Goes Viral podcast, Angie speaks about dealing with toxic bosses, sustained research investments, empowering underrepresented groups & connecting with colleagues across disciplines through social media.

TWiV 1099: Volker Lohmann, as persistent as his viruses 🦠 Vincent travels to the University of Heidelberg to speak with Volker Lohmann about his career and the research of his laboratory on hepatitis C virus, hepatitis A virus, and norovirus. 📺 bit.ly/3IRE4mD

Joe Grove Leo will join you as soon as he can write! He’s getting informed with his favourite bedtime book 😂

Joe Grove This made me smile because I kept a piece of Charlotte's work too 😊 I think she would have been about 8 and at the start of her 'banging on about viruses' phase. (Shared with Charlotte's permission)

Very excited to share our paper led by Madison (Maddi) Strine Intestinal tuft cell immune privilege enables norovirus persistence | Science Immunology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n

My Mum just found some school work by 12 year old me.

Turns out I've been banging on about #viruses for 31 years!

My lab has a permanent postdoc/staff scientist position open - application deadline 26th April. Get in touch if you're interested in in vivo mosquito work with high containment arboviruses.

Reach out to me and Kevin Maringer (he/they) 🏳️‍🌈🔬🦟🦠 to learn more!

Deadline 2nd April

I did it! Well, *we* did it! Thank you to everyone that supported me over the years, my supervisor Hutchinson Lab, my colleagues, my collaborators, my examiners, my family and friends 💕🌷

Elated to announce that my PhD work is now up on bioRxiv!

Thanks to all the coauthors who helped make this happen. Together, we explored virus assembly in a new light and spotted some intriguing things!

Congratulations to the brilliant Dr Anna Sims for finishing her PhD MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research UofG Sii #PhDone

Well done Alex 🤩🍾 !!

AI for biology has the potential to help solve some of the most important problems facing our society. Scientific openness will be critical for our field to progress. As scientists engaged in this work, with more than 90 signatories across the world, we are advancing a framework…

PhD opportunity: Utilise machine learning to uncover the molecular adaptations that allow viruses to have a dual-host lifecycle.

Supervised by Pirbright and MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research researchers.
