Catch my talk at *2:45pm Union station C today*. I’ll be talking about our preprint but ALSO some new computational stuff on diversification strategies of immune genes🤓 #ASV2024

You thought we were done but NO! Just witnessing an incredible presentation on bats IFITMs from our one and only Nelly Mak from the Sloan Lab! Edinburgh scholars are on 🔥 here at #ASV2024

Thanks to everyone who came to my talk and for all the questions/suggestions!! Here’s a photo of me and THE IFITM experts Jacob Yount Alex Compton #ASV2024

Chris Robinson IFITM3 has been iPhone 3 the whole conference. 🤣

🚨 #PhD #Opportunity 🦇 🦠 👇🏾 We will be hiring a PhD student to study antiviral innate immunity in reservoir bat species. #LZCI You can find more information about our work here: banerjeelab.ca Brief description below. All interested candidates should apply using the

Lunchtime break from thesis writing. My toggl tracker says I’ve already spent 150 hours on it 😳 ✨Featuring very cute Lumie socks from Promega Corporation - thanks Michaela Noskova Fairley PromegaUK !

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

new work from Caroline Cummings uses a phylogenetic approach to show that bats as a whole don't organically arise as a group carrying high-virulence viruses. instead, high-risk viruses are only clustered in several bat clades, which could guide surveillance and future studies.

Thank you Dr. Marjolein Kikkert for inviting me to present at their virology lab meeting in-person at Universiteit Leiden today! Great way to wrap up my Edinburgh-Leiden jointly funded PhD. 📷: “The One Who Waits” in the LUMC hospital lobby.

Guaranteed excellent supervisors - apply!

I joined Jolly Lab at UCL as a postdoc this week! Still getting used to being in central London but I won’t complain about having pubs/restaurants only a few minutes away. 🦋 follow me on bluesky - nellymak.bsky.social

Our latest discovery of how intrinsic immunity regulates SNARE activity to promote lysosomal delivery of cellular and viral cargo is now published in The EMBO Journal: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… National Cancer Institute NIH

My lab is advertising just one PhD studentship this year, looking at consequences of maternally acquired viral infection for foetus with Sara Clohisey Hendry , Neil Mabbott and Glover Lab . Please see link below for further info! eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
