Single-dose replicon RNA Sudan virus vaccine uniformly protects female guinea pigs from disease - Nature Communications
Sudan virus (SUDV) outbreaks in Uganda created public health concerns due to a lack of approved vaccines. In this study, the authors develop a repRNA SUDV vaccine and demonstrate full protection of a ...

Just published! Here we report immunogenicity and efficacy of our replicon RNA vaccine against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in a cynomolgus macaque model of #CCHFV infection. Stay tuned as we advance this candidate in clinical trials.

A replicating RNA vaccine confers protection against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in cynomolgus macaques
Our data demonstrate that our repNP vaccine and NP-specific antibody can protect against CCHFV in non-human primates.

Our latest preprint is now available doi.org/10.1101/2025...! Led by my postdoc, Luqiang Guo @luqiang.bsky.social, we determined a ~2.4 A resolution structure of the hantavirus glycoprotein tetramer on the surface of VLPs. Also determined structures of dimers of tetramers and Fab-bound tetramers.

Looks like #Uganda will use #IAVI's #Ebola Sudan vaccine in a clinical trial aimed at helping to halt the country's outbreak. The trial could also provide evidence of the vaccine's efficacy. As I reported y'day, there are already doses in Uganda — 2160, in fact. www.who.int/news/item/31...

When you design a vaccine and by the time the paper comes out you’ve made three updated versions as the virus continues to evolve 😅 #influenza #RNAviruses
New paper! In collaboration with NIAID, we asked: how effective are vaccines designed against historical #H5N1 viruses in naïve mice challenged with the contemporary cattle virus? Turns out that the new isolates are different enough to warrant further evaluation of updated vaccine compositions. 🧪
Clade 2.3.4.4b but not historical clade 1 HA replicating RNA vaccine protects against bovine H5N1 challenge in mice - Nature Communications
Here the authors show that a replicating RNA vaccine encoding the hemagglutinin (HA) of contemporary H5N1 strains confers single shot protection against lethal H5N1 challenge in mice, while an RNA enc...
