How do we study viruses? What is a vaccine? And why don’t viruses kill us all? 🦠 We answer these questions and more in our new @Coursera course Foundations in Virology and Vaccinology, presented by #OurImperial Professor John Tregoning and @DrMASkinner Register ➡️ ow.ly/POzX50QZs03

Great overview of the exciting #diagnostic innovations from ProtonDx by Jesus Rodriguez Manzano and Pantelis Georgiou at Institute of Infection Novel Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases Meeting.

📣Our latest literature review of age-stratified dengue seroprevalence studies has been published! Work led by Anna and done in collaboration with Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative and Neelika Malavige providing > 250 estimates of dengue FOI from serological data globally. thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…

In a bit of a COVID throwback, our new paper is out in Scientific Reports! We investigated the impact of environmental conditions on the transmission of different variants during their selective sweeps: doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Will Pearse Ilaria Dorigatti @creswapi Mahika K. Dixit

Thank you Prof Chandima Jeewandara for hosting me and the warm welcome to your department!! I was so sorry to miss you Neelika Malavige but hopefully we can meet in person sometime very soon. Lots of new ideas in the making which is so exciting!! 🤩

Our workshop on #dengue modelling and forecasting with the National Dengue Control Unit, WHO Sri Lanka and World Health Organization South-East Asia is underway in Colombo Sri Lanka!! We kicked off by meeting colleagues at the WHO Sri Lanka office, the Department of Meteorology Sri Lanka and learnt about #dengue surveillance on the ground!

Yesterday we covered time series forecasting and showed some results from our climate-driven compartmental model in our #dengue modelling workshop! Very grateful to the whole Imperial School of Public Health team and our colleagues at National Dengue Control Unit, WHO Sri Lanka and Chandima Jeewandara for the fantastic week!


Congratulations Dr Victoria Cox for passing your viva!!! I’m so proud of you ✨ and I feel so lucky and grateful for having you in our team! Special thanks to Adam Kucharski and @martablangiardo for examining the PhD thesis MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis Imperial School of Public Health


Thank you @michaelwhite_36 for hosting me at Institut Pasteur, since 1887 in Paris! It was fantastic to reunite with ex Imperial College London colleagues, meet new ones and present our latest #dengue work! I’m very excited to be working with you and your team on arbovirus serology 🦟🦠🩸📊🌍


Well done and well deserved Bethan Cracknell Daniels!!! 🌟

My commentary on the closure of VectorBase. Join me in rallying for its sustainable continuation. Comment, repost, and circulate. Let’s ensure this vital resource remains accessible for our global #VectorBiology research community.


Looking forward seeing you Oct 8 at Prof. Leaungwutiwong webinar "Impact of Climate, Seasonal Variability, & Land Use on the Bionomics of Aedes Mosquitoes for Vector Control in Coldspot & Hotspot".

Super excited to start this new project with Dr Sulaiman Ibrahim and @MossieCator!! We will generate new field-derived evidence of how temperature and humidity affect Aedes mosquito traits and project the effect of #climatechange on arbovirus risk. Thank you Medical Research Foundation 🦟🌦️📊📈📉
