Wow, this means a lot coming from the folks @epicypher.bsky.social !!

So lucky to have you as collaborators and hope that the next big hit will come from our joint work!! 🙏🏻🤩
🧬🧪SO excited to read this paper - new from @davidlabmsk.bsky.social highlighting the role of nucleosome occupancy in Hep B viral infection + discovering a new potential therapeutic strategy for Hep B. A great story of how basic research can lead to new treatment strategies🌟
I am extremely proud to see our work about Hepatitis B now published in @cellpress.bsky.social

From basic research to identifying the key step of infection & a potential first drug for curing this devastating disease. This has been an incredible journey.🧵
