- Reposted by Nir DraymanFirst big piece of research from our SG lab: Fadi's work with Chris Brooke's lab. Flu serially passaged 80X selects a defective genome with improved competition, but is nonviable as a full virus! Notable improvement & safety for DVGs as antiviral RNA therapies! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- We are searching for a lab manager! If you are detailed oriented, like southern california, HSV-1, sequencing and microscopy, please get in touch :)

Results suggest this is not the case, but there are some disclaimers. Read all about it! #sleep www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

- on the other site, a month or two ago, I asked you about a way to block HSV-1 egress without interfering with the earlier parts of infection. @beatesodeiklab.bsky.social got me on the right track to track down this mutant, with a temperature sensitive protease (tsProt.A). I love this community!
- First grant written at UCI now submitted 🥳 (11 days before the deadline too!) Keep your fingers crossed for me.
- First group meeting of the fall quarter and everyone are back 🍁
