We mourn the passing of Nobel laureate David Baltimore, a towering figure in molecular biology and virology, and a pioneer and founder of ASV. His discoveries transformed science and medicine, and his mentorship inspired generations. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire virology and ASV.

Very Happy to share the very first paper of the Lab! Qing Yang & Ben Nilsson-Payant found that modulating Influenza NS1 levels reveals a ranking in its inhibitory roles: IFN < ISGs < UPR. Huge thanks to Ben tenOever for his helpful advice! For many more to come 🥂
