Alternative splicing expands the antiviral IFITM repertoire in Chinese rufous horseshoe bats

Author summary Zoonotic transmission occurs when viruses ‘jump’ from animals into human. This may lead to viral outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, posing a significant threat to public health. B...

New lab preprint! Understanding innate immunity in bats is important given their role in viral spillovers and with their unusual immune systems. Here we study antiviral IFITM genes in horseshoe bats and find alternative splicing is key to functional antiviral diversity: doi.org/10.1101/2023...

Our review on the Lv2/RPRD2 restriction of HIV is finally published in mBio! Led by talented postdoc Kathryn Jackson-Jones who took on the task of summarising a couple of decades of molecular virology by co-author Aine McKnight doi.org/10.1128/mbio... 1/n

We are looking for 2 postdocs (a molecular virologist and a bioinfomatician with wet lab experience) to work on our ERC-funded InVIRium project! We're based in Montpellier, France and we aim to better characterize respiratory virus replication in pertinent models of primary airway epithelia.

Excellent PhD opportunity to study how species resist viral infection using bioinformatics, virology, and animal models at Edinburgh Uni. Led by Rob Young at the Usher Institute, virology with me, and animal models with Elly Gaunt at Roslin: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... #ViroSky #ImmunoSky
