Interested in our recent norovirus NS3 work? 👇

Join us to dig deeper!

I'm recruiting a PhD candidate to investigate NS3's role in viral replication and assembly using #cryoEM, #cryoET, and other complementary techniques.

Latest preprint from the lab, many years in the making!

By combining #cryoEM with #AlphaFold3 modelling, we propose that norovirus NS3 forms a transmembrane RNA translocase.

This could have big implications for our understanding of viral replication & assembly (🧵)

Latest #virology research from the lab! 👇

Using genetic approaches and live-cell imaging, we show that the viral 2A protease plays a critical role in subverting antiviral responses and establishing a favorable host environment to expedite enterovirus replication.

Amazing science at the Science for Life meeting in Utrecht. The talk by Julia Mahamid was incredible; it most definitely helped me to secure a poster prize too!
Had a great day at the 10th anniversary Science for Life meeting. My personal highlights were the incredible #cryoET talk from Julia Mahamid, and @bobcoelingh.bsky.social winning a poster prize! 🏆

This study focuses on PDCoV, an emerging enteric pathogen.

We generated anti-spike mAbs & investigated their inhibitory mechanisms using structural & functional studies.
