Delighted to have won a Wellcome Discovery Award for 8 more years of transformative research. We will advance our knowledge of innate immune mechanisms using viruses and chemotherapeutics as tools. Thanks to everyone who contributed along the way.

Thanks for coming to our #LINEsymposium2025! What a great day! Congratulations to the winners of our attendees' vote for best presentation and poster: @wjbranchett.bsky.social @immun0liver.bsky.social @ziqizhou.bsky.social @dylanpostmus.bsky.social (With live captions for all to enjoy!)

Very proud of our postdocs @ziqizhou.bsky.social and @immun0liver.bsky.social for winning 1st Poster Prize (Ziqi Zhou) and 2nd Talk Prize (Oliver Wright) by an audience vote at the London Infection Network for/by ECRs held at the Crick Institute. Well done guys.

Towers Lab attending @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social (LINE) annual symposium. Great talk lineups at the Francis Crick Institute, London. #LINE #ScienceIsCool.

Our last (but not least) selected speaker for today is @immun0liver.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk with a great talk on how ADP-ribosylation poses an important barrier to infection that viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have to overcome. #LINEsymposium2025

Kicking off Day 2 of our #CiViASymposium (expertly chaired by Prof Kristina Broliden) is Prof Greg Towers ( @towerslab.bsky.social‬ , @UCL.ac.uk) about the role of innate #immune evasion in the #pandemic potential of #viruses.

Oliver Wright @immun0liver.bsky.social @towerslab.bsky.social presenting on innate immune response to #SARS-CoV2. #CiViASymposium
