Also up for grabs is a project on antiviral PROTACs, supervised by us and the France lab (School of Chemistry) should ubiquitin and viruses appeal! Please get in touch with any questions.

Following our recent publications on next-generation poliovirus vaccines, we were asked by @uk.theconversation.com to provide a short explainer on why new vaccines are needed to ensure the eradication of polio globally - theconversation.com/to-eradicate...
To eradicate polio once and for all, we need a new vaccine – that’s what we’re working on
Researchers are using virus-like particles to develop a safer, cheaper polio vaccine to help eradicate the disease once and for all.

It's finally out! Our @who.int funded consortium paper describing different expression systems for the production of stabilised virus-like particles (VLPs) as next-generation vaccines for poliovirus #vaccineswork #Endpolio #viruses 1/

www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Recombinant expression systems for production of stabilised virus-like particles as next-generation polio vaccines - Nature Communications
A post eradication polio vaccine should be safe and easy to produce. Here, the authors characterize a recombinant virus-like particle polio vaccine with stabilized capsid proteins and show comparable ...
