Will irving gets basl award for being totally fabulous #BASL

Just bumped into our new cleaner working hard in the lab!

This about as current as it gets: Pseudotypes used to assess cell entry of 2019-nCoV via ACE2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Barney King from One Virology Uni of Nottingham IC telling us about 'hard to pseudotype' viruses with #HepatitisC as as a model. Even clones within same patient behave differently!

Health officials say a third UK case of #coronavirus has been confirmed in a patient who caught it in an Asian country other than China. The person's being treated in a specialist unit. Jonathan Ball is Professor of emerging viruses at The University of #Nottingham:

A small milestone reached in #Covid_19 Nottingham Research today - 600th #Nottingham sample prepared for antibody testing by Alex Tarr and #PaddyTighe at UoN Life Sciences virology labs.

Latest research just published by the UoN Life Sciences Nottingham Research virology group on human bocavirus infections.

A project we started back in 2016, before extraction-free amplification was all the rage! 'Nanopore sequencing from extraction-free direct PCR of dried serum spots for portable hepatitis B virus drug-resistance typing' sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to be involved in the recruitment for the University of Oxford #Chadox #Covid19 #Vaccine trial.

High throughput #Covid19 #serology with paddy Tighe and his #robot_army.

Congrats to all involved, this is a really interesting study and a great resource for the HCV research community

Yes, unexpectedly found myself working on a serology study on SARS-CoV-2! Pseudotypes with Richard Urbanowicz, we're rushing to get this completed and submitted...

Chuffed to have what might sadly be our final chapter on the #HCV p7 channel accepted at eLife - the journal Huge team effort, many not on twitter, but thanks to those on here Andrew Macdonald Toshana Foster @AbiBloy Harris Lab Alex Tarr Stonehouse Rowlands Lab doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Our Retrospective SARS-2 screening work is now published! Several missed cases, incl one of the first known community transmissions in the UK. Great collaborative effort with Jonathan Ball, Patrick McClure, Theocharis Tsoleridis, Matt Loose, #NHS and many more! doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.…

Nottingham University Hospitals and UoN Life Sciences researchers report rare bifacial weakness with paraesthesias variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome in four cases following ChAdOx1 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. doi.org/10.1002/ana.26… Vaccination remains extremely safe and the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Another preprint from our group! How to easily sub-type the incredibly diverse #HepatitisC #virus with genomes from Sub-Saharan Africa that most commercial assays fail upon. Patrick McClure Jonathan Ball UoN Life Sciences #HCV 👇🏽 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our study on the development of a simple low-cost pathway to accurately subtype #HepatitisC in sub-Saharan Africa has just been published in the Journal of Medical Virology. 👇🏽 Patrick McClure Jonathan Ball Alex Tarr UoN Life Sciences One Virology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jm…

Congratulations to Dr Richard Brown at PEI for a great paper on SARS-CoV-2 published today in PNAS news.rub.de/english/press-…
