Happy to be part of the EU consortium DEFENDER @horizoneu.bsky.social and contribute to discovery of novel entry factors of #CHIKV, laying the ground for development of antiviral therapies @lstmnews.bsky.social
Featuring @goffinetlab.bsky.social at @lstmnews.bsky.social
We're proud to collaborate with leading virologists working to combat emerging viral threats. Christine, a DEFENDER partner at the LSTM, is making significant strides in studying alphaviruses, including chikungunya and Mayaro viruses.

Just now, keynote speaker Joe Grove from Glasgow, presented how machine learning helped resolve the structures of flaviviral E1 proteins and identify fusion mechanisms. This strategy can be used to identify structural similarities between fusion proteins in the virosphere.
