🧵on the Imperial study on omicron severity TL;DR: -*intrinsic* omicron severity similar/bit lower to delta -*observed* severity lower due to omicron more likely to re-infect -vaccine efficacy against hosps maintained -growth rate likely to override impact of lower severity

Great piece on RSV vaccine and antibody development. We should soon have more interventions available to fight this virus!

Evolution 101. 🧵 Mutations occur as chance errors in replication. They're just mistakes in copying. Most have no effect. Some are detrimental to the organism (or virus), a few may happen to be beneficial -- this depends on the environment.

Very cool study from colleagues Karolinska Institutet! A public antibody lineage can evolve to acquire potent cross-neutralization.

Great opportunity in an exciting and forward-thinking lab.

Recently Migrationsverket Swedish Migration Agency announced new residence permit rules for doctoral students. A step in right direction but we still have a way to go. This Sunday the PhD students of Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology hosts a manifestation against the Aliens Act

Super happy and proud to share that I am one of the recipients of the KI Sven Gard Prize for the best virology doctoral thesis during 2022. news.ki.se/katie-healy-an…

It's an incredible day for structure-based vaccine design, and I'm thrilled to see our prefusion RSV F antigen get approved as the first RSV vaccine. Still more work to do to reduce the RSV disease burden, but this will help! Congrats Barney Graham, MD, PhD! cnn.com/2023/05/03/hea…

We want to extend our warm congratulations to 2023 The Nobel Prize Laureates Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman! It was an honor to publish their key findings for the Physiology or Medicine prize: cell.com/immunity/fullt… Katalin Kariko The Drew Weissman Lab @pennmedicine #NobelPrize

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

This year’s #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry have revealed proteins’ secrets through computing and artificial intelligence. Chemists have long dreamed of fully understanding and mastering the chemical tools of life – proteins. This dream is now within reach. 2024 chemistry

It's finally out as a paper :D 🧵1/ Introducing scifer, our R/Bioconductor package developed with B cell receptor (BCR) sequences in mind, but adaptable to other sequence types. Pre-trained on real datasets, scifer is designed to streamline index cell sorting sequencing workflow
