@lstmnews.bsky.social 👾 Virology on top! With 1 poster and 4 talks, the team had a blast at this year's @microbiologysociety.org MicroSoc event in Belfast.

How we might be able to target the viral Nef protein to improve #HIVcure strategy efficacy - very much enjoyed presenting in the Virus Forum at this year’s #microsoc26 @microbiologysociety.org @lstmnews.bsky.social #HIV #virology #PhD

@lstmnews.bsky.social goes #MicroSoc! Phase separation between bacteriologists and virologists is an artifact just for the picture 😊 @microbiologysociety.org

Heading home after a rich day full of science at @institutpasteur.bsky.social. Warm thanks to @julianbuchrieser.bsky.social and Olivier Schwartz for the kind invite!

Last month, my team had the great pleasure of hosting a fantastic guest PhD student, Bridget Fisher, from Sharon Lewin's lab at The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, for our collaborative work on #HIVCure. Looking fwd to continuing this exciting joint study. Very well done Bridget!

Absolutely privileged to have met Michel Sidibé, AU Envoy for African Medicines Agency, former @unaids.org Director & Mali Health Minister. Our chat spanned topics ranging from #HIVcure development to implementation. Should a cure be discovered, do we have systems to ensure equitable access?

Had an excellent time at this year’s #RetroPATH2025 meeting in Tübingen, Germany, talking about my work on #HIVcure. Many thanks to @agschindler.bsky.social and Daniel Sauter for hosting. Especially interesting was the variety of talks on #HERVs @goffinetlab.bsky.social @lstmnews.bsky.social

I am very pleased to be hosting @goffinetlab.bsky.social from @lstmnews.bsky.social tomorrow, sponsored by @infect-net.bsky.social 📣: Feodor-Lynen lecture hall @genecenter-lmu.bsky.social 🕙 18.9. 1:00 pm

📣 Infect-Net Lecture: Virologist Prof. Dr. Christine Goffinet from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine will talk about #HIV and #MPox 📅 Sep 18, 2025 🕑 1 pm 📌 Max von Pettenkofer Institut Munich Host: PD Dr. Hanna-Mari Baldauf @baldauflab.bsky.social @lstmnews.bsky.social @goffinetlab.bsky.social

Many thanks Prof Henry Mwandumba and Prof Kondwani Jambo & teams for the warm welcome and hospitality at Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Research Programme, Blantyre. We had fantastic discussions and developed prospects for collaboration on #HIVCure. A truly inspiring visit!

Dylan Postmus@dylanpostmus.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Very honoured to have visited the MLW Centre in Blantyre, Malawi to discuss #HIVcure. It was inspiring to hear about the research conducted by the teams of Prof. Jambo and Prof. Mwandumba - looking forward to building strong research partnerships @goffinetlab.bsky.social @lstmnews.bsky.social

We had a great time hosting three college students - Sadie, Chloe and Isobel - as part of the In2STEM programme with Dr Kelly Johnston. With @dylanpostmus.bsky.social, they learned about our work in #HIVCure, drug development pipelines and assay design. Check out the programme here: in2scienceuk.org

Congratulations to @juliaprigann.bsky.social for being awarded the 2025 CFAR Excellence in Basic/Translational Science Award! cfar.ucsf.edu/user/11703

En route pour Lyon. Je me réjouis de présenter quelques snapshots de notre recherche @lstmnews.bsky.social sur le Chikungunya virus #CHIKV et son interaction avec le système immunitaire inné! #JFV2025

Société Française de Virologie (SFV)@sfvirologie.bsky.social · last yr.

Christine Goffinet, Professeur au LSTM, participera aux #JFV2025 pour nous parler d’Immunité innée et d’infection arbovirale. @GoffinetLab  Plus d'infos 👉 https://jfv-2025.sciencesconf.org/

An inspiring meeting #KSHIV25 in Durban ends. Great presentation by @dylanpostmus.bsky.social on why many LRAs for #HIVCure are imperfect. A pleasure meeting the next promising generation of African ECRs, speaking to old friends and making new ones. Plus the daily sunrise over Indian Ocean!

Shout-out to @dylanpostmus.bsky.social speaking at #MicroBio25. Just in time before heading to Keystone Symposium on #HIVCure keysym.us/KSHIV25 Stay tuned!

Many thanks to @microbiologysociety.org for the opportunity to present my work on modeling latent HIV-1 infection in the @goffinetlab.bsky.social at this year’s #MicroBio25. Always so much to learn at this conference!

Happy to be part of the EU consortium DEFENDER @horizoneu.bsky.social and contribute to discovery of novel entry factors of #CHIKV, laying the ground for development of antiviral therapies @lstmnews.bsky.social

DEFENDER@defender-project.bsky.social · last yr.

Featuring @goffinetlab.bsky.social at @lstmnews.bsky.social We're proud to collaborate with leading virologists working to combat emerging viral threats. Christine, a DEFENDER partner at the LSTM, is making significant strides in studying alphaviruses, including chikungunya and Mayaro viruses.

It was a pleasure attending #GfV2025 in Hamburg today and chairing the Innate Immunity Plenary today together with @sparrerlab.bsky.social with fantastic keynotes by Adolfo García-Sastre, @scheellab.bsky.social and Michaela Muller-Trutwin. Thanks for coming!
