Finishing virology/biology PhD students, postdocs in need of a job- this is a lab you should join! Am I biased? 100% yes- because I know that the Sheppard lab will be an awesome place to work and you'll do great science. Spread the word!

Checkout our review article at PLOS. Happy to see the thoughts of Stefano and myself on influenza virus RNA trafficking published in PLOS Pathogens a few days ago. A topic we are both greatly interested in. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
Influenza A virus RNA localisation and the interceding trafficking pathways of the host cell
Viruses have evolved to efficiently navigate host cells to deliver, express, and replicate their genetic material. Understanding the mechanisms underlying viral RNA localisation is paramount to design...

The 2-part report found on virological.org is a very interesting read. Astonishing what can be discerned from the #H5N1 #birdflu sequence data. (Or astonishing to me, a non-scientist.)
