Excited to share our new paper led by recent PhD, Dr. Hannah Schmidt! We found that UFMylation unexpectedly promotes flavivirus particle production by specifically regulating viral assembly. Check it out! #virology #UFMylation #flaviviruses

Without those grants, my lab must close within a year.
And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues
