Professor | Our lab studies how viruses interact with their host. We spend a lot of time thinking about non-standard viral genomes. Posts are my own.

And w/o federal funding research in the US is largely compromised as a “pause” would requiere many labs to let go people with high level training and expertise. Recovering from such personnel losses takes lots of resources in training and time. Not a smart move!
About a month after Donald Trump took office as the 47th US president, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

First paper of 2025! Postdoc Yanling Yang shows that SLC35A2 modulates paramyxovirus fusion events during infection | PLOS Pathogens journals.plos.org/plospathog…
New paper out! Here Vicky tested our DDO (DVG-derived Oligonucleotide) as a type 1 immunity-inducer adjuvant in mRNA vaccines using influenza NP as a model antigen...works great in mice by stimulating RLRs! journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10…

Mourning the loss of Dr. Diane Griffin, who passed away on Monday.
Dr. Griffin was a founding member of @CMM_JHU and chaired our advisory board. A distinguished virologist, she was an elected member of Natl Acad Sci and Natl Acad Med. We remember her with gratitude.

A WashU Medicine mouse study shows that respiratory viruses can hide in lung immune cells after infection, creating inflammation that leads to chronic lung diseases such as asthma. medicine.wustl.edu/news/viru…
Paper out! Using the murine parainfluenza virus Sendai, @italoacastro beautifully demonstrates that viral RNA and protein found in innate immune cells long after the acute infection is resolved contribute to chronic lung pathology

A dirty little secret that infected cells are not major source of cytokines - I do like this one from @CBLopezLab that covers defective viral genomes
