Looking forward to this exciting meeting!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence… In collaboration with computational biology experts Pavitra Roychoudhury and Dan Depledge we conclude that the claim that HSV establishes latency in immune cells is not supported by the underlying datasets

So stoked to be sharing this! New proteomics map of human subcellular architecture. CRISPR + organelle IP mass spec at scale. Check out pre-print biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and organelles.czbiohub.org. 🙌 to fantastic team Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network SF & collabs! 1/2

Now out Cell Reports -- we find striking differences between viral proteins that are presented on class I and class II HLAs, resulting in distinct targets for killer and helper T cells. cell.com/cell-reports/p…

A brilliant work and thread explaining the power and use of time-resolved single cell transcriptomes.

Back to science
New paper alert
After more than 15 years in the field this is my first paper in JVirology Editors
My student Alina Shitrit had led this project as part of Ph.D, with our collaborators Moriah Szpara is at BlueSky @szparalab.bsky.social Nir Drayman Weitzman Lab Savas Tay and more

Many components of the eukaryotic immune system seem to have a bacterial origin in anti-phage defense.

In this Opinion Trends in Immunology, I discuss recent findings on such conservation of immune components and suggest next steps in the field⬇️

A great summary of how many of us feel these days.

✂️🧬 #CRISPR tool pre-print 📣: protoSpaceJAM.czbiohub.org for insertional knock-in. Streamlined design of gRNA, HDR donor & NGS genotyping primers. #opensource + documented code base. Tour de force from Duo Peng + colleagues at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network 👏 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵1/n

Paper alert 🚨 Thrilled to share the latest work from my group revealing how a host RNA-binding protein orchestrates SARS-CoV-2 RNA synthesis in human cells. Out in Cell today: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

wschneider and I are happy to announce the 6th series of the Systems Virology Journal Club! ✨
Join us to learn about the exciting research at the intersection of virology and systems biology.

Proud to share our latest discovery: Bacteria conjugate ubiquitin-like proteins to interfere with phage assembly

A new concept in antiphage immunity, and a mechanism for ISG15-like antiviral defnese in bacteria. Big congrats to talented Jens Hör!

יום שחור למדע בישראל.
A dark day for science in Israel.

The in vivo #RNA binding proteome atlas is here!
Meeli Mullari and Nicolas Fossat use our new #RBP #brain atlas to demonstrate deregulation of RBM5 splicing in #Huntington 's disease. In Nature Communications with Nielsen Lab Agnete Kirkeby Niels Skotte CPRatUCPH

In the latest issue! Functional viromic screens uncover regulatory RNA elements dlvr.it/SsbyC0

Beyond showing strong association between specific HLA-I allele and SARS-CoV-2 infection outcome, this study beautifully demonstrates the power of T cells in preventing symptomatic infection (not only viral clearance). This is huge! 🦸

I can’t join the protests today in Israel as I am at #IHW2023 , but I started my talk with explaining why we try to protect our democracy

I have recently opened my lab at #CMRI_AUS and am looking for an enthusiastic postdoc to join my team. (Details below.) Please help me with RTs. Thank you!
