We've a computational PhD project available AI-DRIVEN DISCOVERY OF VIRUS–HOST MOLECULAR INTERACTIONS www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl... as part of the University of Glasgow's MVLS Futures Themes PhD Programme. Deadline for applications is this Monday, 12th Jan 2026. Please apply!

Congratulations to @karishmabisht.bsky.social with her paper on the effect of fever on influenza replication and innate immune activation! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... It's finally out! Meriam Guellil expertly led this project from the first HHV6 detection to the final paper. We found both human herpesviruses 6A and 6B in ancient remains going back 2500 years.

In this perspective, Ryan Langlois @langloislab.bsky.social suggests that understanding fever’s role in shaping antiviral gene #evolution may illuminate blind spots in our comprehension of host–pathogen interactions and antiviral mechanisms. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Sunset in Burlington #VT is quite pleasant to witness over Lake Champlain with Juniper Island and mountains to complete the scenery.

In this Perspective, Ryan Langlois hypothesizes that antiviral genes are evolutionarily selected for their function at fever temperatures yet are commonly studied at basal temperatures, a potential blind spot in our understanding of antiviral gene mechanisms. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Our recent study in @eBioMedicine explores the potential of a nasopharyngeal #Biomarkers, CXCL10, to improve respiratory virus screening. Discover how this could impact outbreak management and routine screenings. Full story here: shorturl.at/TZEBi #PandemicPreparedness #PublicHealth #Viruses

#Cytokines & #gut #inflammation, what’s better?! 😉 Join us tomorrow @focisimmunology.bsky.social #focis2025, 8am at the @cytokinesociety.bsky.social symposium!

Every healthy human body is home to trillions of viruses, and we may harbor tens of millions of viral species. Here's my story about scientists exploring the human virome. [Gift link] nyti.ms/41nZpxS 🧪

As a WOAH Collaborating Centre, we’re excited to announce our 8th annual Viral #Bioinformatics & #Genomics training course from 16th - 20th June 2025! 🧬
