Our latest manuscript just came out in @ImmunityCP describing over a decade of work in the lab studying HIV evolution and escape from HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies.

ALT HIV deciding whether to take the easy way, or the hard way around an antibody.

We’ve updated the EVEREST benchmark to include real-world viral evolution! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Co-led by @nooryoussef03 and me, along with co-authors @navami_jain, @aarushimehrotr, @AgaRosegirl, @_AMJackson, @deboramarks, and with @CEPIvaccines @FutureHouseSF!

I stand in solidarity with MIT graduate workers @MITGradUnion as they negotiate for a fair contract. Graduate students do critical work that keeps universities like MIT running. Every worker deserves the right to negotiate for better wages, benefits and workplace conditions.

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

With a heavy heart I announce the loss of the Scripps Morgagni. With over 20 years of faithfully mediocre imaging, it is now at peace after a year-long battle with HT issues. RIP

Studying the serum of patients recovered from COVID-19, @WardLab1 have discovered that antibodies exposed to SARS-CoV-2 can also recognize spike proteins of other coronaviruses, such as the common cold scripps.edu/news-and-events/… @ScienceAdvances

How the mRNA vaccines were made. In part, thanks to foundational structural biology discoveries made by Prof. Andrew Ward’s lab. nytimes.com/2022/01/15/healt… @WardLab1 @nytimes

Another exciting collaborative preprint is out! Led by @Sandhyareddy88 we mapped the baseline antigenic landscapes to human beta-coronavirus spikes, based on pre-existing immunity to seasonal CoVs, as a basis for predicting antibody responses to SARS CoV-2 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A new @scrippsresearch analysis provides a clearer picture of how mutations in recently emerged #SARSCoV2 variants of concern impact antibodies’ neutralization potency, with implications for developing next-generation vaccines and antibody therapies. fcld.ly/vx16m1e

On the major variants: my colleagues @scrippsresearch just published @ScienceMagazine structural and functional assessment of the mutations (found in B.1.351 and P.1) to help guide broad neutralizing Abs and a pan-coronavirus vaccine
