"One person dies of AIDS every minute. That is something that must change." - German Chancellor @OlafScholz at the #AIDS2024 opening ceremony in Munich. I could not agree more and I am looking forward to the next days hearing about science and interacting with the community.

Had such a good time the last 4 days at #IAS2023! My first time serving as a Rapporteur, so this was pretty intense 😄 Leaving with many good memories! Pictured is Lish @ndhlovulab presenting our team’s basic science highlights in the Rapporteur session!

This is not about COVID for a change ;) I am excited to share my first HIV-1 paper in @PaulBieniasz’s lab! In collaboration with @CharlesBNader and @jinweizhang we show the HIV-1 matrix-tRNA complex structure and it’s implications for Gag localization tinyurl.com/4n6uarx5

Very happy that one of our recent studies is now out in Immunity: antibody evolution leads to higher affinity antibodies with increased potency and breadth that can neutralize other sarbecoviruses and limit the options for viral escape....

Good news: our most recent data suggest that immunity in convalescent individuals will be very long lasting and that convalescent individuals receiving mRNA vaccines produce antibodies and memory B cells that should be protective against circulating VOCs ...
