Yay, after eight years, it's here! 🧬🦠 Our new Nat comms paper explores how lipid droplets remodel during viral infection to support antiviral defence Proud to be co-first alongside the wonderful Jay Laws and @timetogoz.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... @helbiglab.bsky.social

Prof Karla Helbig, specialising in innate immunity in viral infection of humans and animals @limsltu. We love lipids, lipid droplets and all things virus!! Passionate about training the next generation of scientists!
Excited to share our research on optimizing phospholipids in artificial lipid droplets (aLDs) for better delivery in vivo 🐟 🐭 . Even to the BRAIN 🧠 Kudos to @timetogoz.bsky.social and @ebony-monson.bsky.social for this milestone paper! Superstars⭐ 👇 shorturl.at/vEHPh @limsltu.bsky.social
Congratulations Z; it’s a great piece of work!
Excited to share that my first first-author paper from my PhD is finally out! If you're interested in lipids and lipid droplets, check out our Artificial Lipid Droplets 🧪⚗️🦠🔬👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @helbiglab.bsky.social @ebony-monson.bsky.social @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social
Excited to share our latest work, creating an artificial lipid droplet! 🦠🧠 This is @timetogoz.bsky.social's first first-author paper from her PhD, and my first senior-author paper!! 🎉🥹 Check it out ⬇️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @helbiglab.bsky.social @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social

Happy #IWD2025 to all the wonderful women in STEM, and to our male colleagues that support us 👩🔬 Diversity is so important in science and I'm very lucky to be part of a group that celebrates this! @helbiglab.bsky.social @irumii.bsky.social @jacintaagius.bsky.social @timetogoz.bsky.social
👏🏻 to @irumii.bsky.social for presenting her research into the roles lipid droplets may play during viral infection and what we can learn from EVs! 🦠 #lorneiandi @theviin.bsky.social
#LorneIandI here we come!! Looking forward to some great science 🩵 @ebony-monson.bsky.social @irumii.bsky.social
