Heartbroken and shocked. Talented and wonderful Liam who was about to start her Master's degree in my lab, was killed in an accident in Thailand.
שבורת לב והמומה. ליאם המוכשרת והמבריקה שעמדה להתחיל תואר שני במעבדה שלי, נהרגה בתאונת דרכים בתאילנד.

מצטיינת הטכניון ליאם נהרגה בתאונה בתאילנד: "השמיים נפלו"
ליאם שרוט בת ה-25, שהייתה מצטיינת דיקן במשך שלוש שנים ברציפות בטכניון, נהרגה בתאונה במהלך חופשה בקו סומוי עם בן זוגה - שנפצע ואושפז בבית החולים. האם כתבה: "פאר יצירתי, הלב שלי מרוסק"

Given incredibly difficult, conflict-filled years, it makes me proud to present @adibz.bsky.social beautiful work on intra-host evolution in SARS-CoV-2. Briefly, we find evolution differs among patients: in some nothing happens; in others rampant adaptive evolution.

Diverse patterns of intra-host genetic diversity in chronically infected SARS-CoV-2 patients
Abstract. In rare individuals with a severely immunocompromised system, chronic infections of SARS-CoV-2 may develop, where the virus replicates in the bod

Our new virus cheater paper is out!! Briefly we find point mutant cheaters and their secondary mutations that “pull the strings” of the virus replication cycle in ingenious ways!

Navigating a fine balance: point-mutant cheater viruses disrupt the viral replication cycle
Abstract. Cheater viruses cannot replicate on their own yet replicate faster than the wild type (WT) when the two viruses coinfect the same cell. Cheaters

📢 New preprint, first one here on Bluesky!
We used accurate deep sequencing to track mutations in a cohort of nine immunocompromised individuals with chronic SARS-CoV-2 (SC2) infections. @natalieru.bsky.social @adibz.bsky.social

Our Big Fantastic Virus Database (BFVD) is now published NAR! It contains protein structure predictions of major viral clades, enhanced by petabase-scale homology search and it's explorable on the web.
