@geisslaboratory.bsky.social at ASV is a success! Great times with great people, and everyone has done an amazing job!
Exciting new preprint led by Chasity Trammell where we use ancestral sequence reconstruction to generate a novel vaccine that provides broad-spectrum protection against tick-borne flaviviruses. Great collaboration with @ebellaboratory.bsky.social group!

Generation of broad-spectrum vaccine platforms against tick-borne flaviviruses using ancestral sequence reconstruction
Tick-Borne Flaviviruses (TBFs) pose a significant global health threat, but few vaccines exist against these viral pathogens. Currently approved vaccines against TBFs are only protective against speci...

Kay does amazing work, great lab to work in!
Post-doc position is available in Choi laboratory at IU. Our research focuses on the structure and function of viral RNAs & replication. Experience in biochemistry or structural biology (X-ray crystallography & cryoEM) is required. Please send cover letter and CV to kaychoi@iu.edu

Please repost.

Cool crystal structure of the coxsackievirus cloverleaf RNA and 3C protease from my friend Kay Choi's lab!
How does enterovirus protease specifically recognize its viral RNA genome?

Hint: It takes two!

Our first post on bluesky - Happy to share our new publication.

Hi folks, to those teaching courses where it is useful to know the one letter amino acid code, I used Suno to make a mnemonic song (Bossa nova style...)

Making intrabodies from antibodies just got easier! Learn how we made 𝟭𝟵 intrabodies to bind and light up peptides and histone modifications in live cells. And thanks to Academia, all sequences are freely available. (video credit: Yuko Sato @YukoSatoT2) (1/15)
