Congratulations to Ed Hutchinson who has been promoted to Professor! Find out about Ed's research: gla.ac.uk/research/az/cv… Hutchinson Lab

Our new preprint showing how protein language models (PLMs) can help us understand viral proteins is now available! We used ESM-2 to investigate what PLMs know about the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from a single sequence to evolutionary trajectories. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Massive congratulations to Daniel Weir on his first first-author preprint 🥳 Warning: contains astonishing micrographs and an amazing story pinning down the features and mechanism behind a fundamental, important and understudied area of IAV biology: direct cell-to-cell spread

I'm so excited to head to London next week to be at the Microbiology Society Sir Howard Dalton Early Career Microbiologist of the Year final showcase! Buzzing to see all the finalists but especially my friends and colleagues Daniel Weir and Hollie Jackson Ireland slay the stage! 🥳 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏆 Tomorrow, both Hollie Jackson Ireland and Daniel Weir will compete for the Microbiology Society Sir Howard Dalton Early Career Microbiologist of the Year prize. Good luck to both of you! 🤞 Meet the rest of the finalists ⬇️ microbiologysociety.org/news/society-n…

So excited for tomorrow!! 😍

Everyone, may I introduce the Microbiology Society Sir Howard Dalton Early Career Microbiologist of the Year 2024, Belfast's own, Pride of MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, Daniel Weir 🥳🥳🥳🥳

This year's Sir Howard Dalton Early Career Microbiologist of the Year prize talk winner is @danielweiriav. This prize recognise excellence in science communication by an early career member. Congratulations to Daniel and all other finalists!

Absolutely delighted for Cal Bentley Abbot, who has won the 2024 Scottish Microscopy Society Scottish Microscopist of the Year competition for his PhD work on imaging infections within complex tissues here MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research - well done Cal!

Why can't these viruses be friends? In a new study from her PhD MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research , Anna Sims shows that #SARSCoV2 infections segregate into distinct microdomains as they spread. But why? (1/N) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

Sooo happy to finally have this one published!! (3 years in the making… 👀) A comprehensive investigation into the recency and geographical origins of both SARS-CoVs that spilled to humans in the past few decades, now in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

🚨🔎 Out now in PLOS Pathogens! 🔎🚨 This project has taken us MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research UofG MVLS on a wild and wonderful journey. I am excited to share our story of how influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit cell death to facilitate its covert spread. N/1 journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

🦠 Influenza's Great Escape New research from Daniel Weir & colleagues reveals that flu viruses use secret tunnelling nanotube-like structures to escape your immune system. Full video: youtu.be/Opfpwy9yUew Read: gla.ac.uk/research/az/cv… Hutchinson Lab UofG Sii UofG MVLS

Yo! I will give a talk at ASV 2025 this coming Thursday, be there or be ⬛!
