Daan elucidated how treatment with the HIV-1 capsid inhibitor Lenacapavir, in addition to serve as a "miracle" drug for #HIV prevention and therapy, might make infected cells more visible to the immune system, potentially aiding #HIVcure efforts ✨️ #AcademyofMedicalSciences

Saskia presented how SARS-CoV-2 escapes from neutralisation via anti-spike antibodies and inhibition via ISGs by spreading via direct cell-cell contacts, indicating another clever strategy of the virus 😎 to evade our immune system #COVID-19

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

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!

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!

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

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!
