Excited to share our recent Environmental Science & Technology Journals publication! We developed predictive models that estimate virus inactivation by UV using info about genome composition and genome repair mechanisms. @waterwiggi Lutgarde Raskin pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

So excited about this project!! And that I get to work with some of my favorite people Linsey Marr https://www.threads.net/@linseycmarr Anice Lowen @MartinEpi @LauringLab to name a few! Nicole Rockey will be leading this work in my lab! Pitt Health Sciences Center for Vaccine Research

Excited I was able to share some of my postdoctoral research from Seema_Lakdawala 🏳️‍🌈! Great to see everyone AEESP2022_WashU. Until next year!

What a thrill to hold our first, full in-person meeting of MITIGATE FLU! We had lots of exciting, interdisciplinary discussions about refining our research on transmission routes and mitigation. Seema_Lakdawala 🏳️‍🌈 @MartinEpi Anice Lowen @waterwiggi peter vikesland Shweta Bansal

Seasonal influenza viruses decay more rapidly at intermediate humidity in droplets containing saliva compared to respiratory mucus biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Check out our recent preprint featuring work from my postdoc in the Seema_Lakdawala 🏳️‍🌈! We focus on the presence and persistence of influenza viruses in distinct respiratory fluids and find some striking differences. Collab with Linsey Marr https://www.threads.net/@linseycmarr

Thrilled The Atlantic highlighted our new work on flu transmission - big shout out to Nicole Rockey and our whole mitigate flu team Linsey Marr https://www.threads.net/@linseycmarr @MartinEpi Anice Lowen (to name a few) and Flu Lab for funding this ‘crazy’ idea!!

We are excited to announce that the next #AEESP Research and Education Conference will be held on May 20-22, 2025, and hosted by the North Carolina Consortium of Universities (Duke, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Chapel Hill, NC A&T, and NC State) at Duke University’s campus in Durham, NC.
