- Super excited to be sharing our work at Cornell University today. Thanks to Prof. Raina Plowright for hosting. Looking forward to two days of discussions and lots of science. publichealth.cornell.edu/news-events/...
- Amazing opportunity to join @finlaym.bsky.social and work towards large scale collaborative studies. Apply👇🏾
- Come join my group as a postdoc on a fun wildepi.ca project looking at the evolution of endemic alpha- and betacoronaviruses in Canadian wildlife. Computational work will inform concurrent experimental work in the @banerjeelab.ca and @smubareka.bsky.social groups! bioinformatics.ca/jobs/postdoc...
- Lucky and humbled to have our work featured alongside such phenomenal colleagues across multiple disciplines. #LZCI #USask #VIDO Read more here. www.sasktoday.ca/saskatoon-to...

- Really cool! 👏🏾
- What an incredible experience at VIROCON2025! 🎉 Hosted by the National Institute of Virology, the discussions diving into One Health, fundamental virology, and dynamic countermeasures were truly inspiring. It was a pleasure to reconnect with former mentors and collaborate with brilliant minds. 🌍💪
- We're incredibly proud of Dr. Hannah Mahoney from our laboratory for winning the L'Oréal Canada For Women in Science Research Excellence Fellowships! 🎉 This prestigious recognition, supported by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, highlights her exceptional contributions to science and research.
- And an amazing presentation by Prof. Overall today. The attention to detail and the ability to follow through on protein-protein interactions and mechanisms that underlie these interactions is remarkable. @vido.org @usask.ca
- Delighted to host Dr. Chris Overall at VIDO, University of Saskatchewan. @cityofsaskatoon.bsky.social Dr. Overall, a renowned proteomics scientist, coined the term “degradomics” to study protein turnover at a systems level. #Proteomics #LoveVirology
- 🌍 Nipah virus (NiV), a zoonotic paramyxovirus from the Henipavirus genus, primarily infects Pteropus bat species across Southeast and South Asia. Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Emerging in the late 1990s in Malaysia, NiV has since sparked outbreaks in Singapore, Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines. The recent NiV outbreak in Kerala, India, in 2023 leaves us with many questions about its spillover pathways.
- In this review, we delve into the complexities of NiV transmission and spillover, spotlighting critical areas that demand further research. We urge a united, multidisciplinary approach in both laboratory settings and the field, emphasizing the necessity of a One Health strategy.

- Incredibly proud of all trainee presentations today at the One Health Symposium. They were all terrific. Congratulations to all the award winners and shoutout to Dr. Kaushal Baid, Arkadeb Bhuinya and Dr. Benedicte Moni for winning top prizes and People's Choice Awards. Well done!
- #OneHealth So proud of our student committee who put together a phenomenal One Health Symposium today.
- Such amazing diversity in speakers (faculty+trainees) who shared knowledge from across different disciplines like medicine, veterinary medicine, toxicology, vaccinology, agriculture, entomology, engineering, climate and environment health, indigenous ways of learning and knowing, and so much more.
- There is so much to life. And so much to be grateful for. #NorthernLights

- It is a remarkable day for my lab today, #LZCI. Victoria Gonzalez successfully defended her PhD with flying colours. Congratulations, Dr. Victoria Gonzalez! Bravo! #ProudNewPI #Bats #ComparativeImmunology
- Our first PhD student who made phenomenal discoveries in the field of virology and bat comparative immunology and started new lines of research within my laboratory.
- Very grateful to the advisory committee (Drs. Linda Chelico, Vikram Misra, Matthew Miller) for guiding her projects over the last 4 years! Thank you to external examiners, Drs. Amy Gillgrass and Joyce Wilson, the Defence Chair, Dr. Janet Hill, and Committee Chair, Dr. Joe Rubin.
- It was a pleasure to moderate the *Safeguarding the World Against Viral Pandemics* session today at the 2025 People Around the World (PAW) International Congress. #PAW2025 #USASK #OneHealth @usask.ca @vido.org
- Insights into therapeutics and vaccines, surveillance, critical infrastructure, and training programs that need to be developed and maintained simultaneously for pandemic preparedness and to mitigate threats from ongoing and future viral epidemics and pandemics.
- Thank you to your exceptional speakers, Drs. Miller, Mubareka, Gerdts, and Bhargava.
- Really cool mechanisms here.
