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

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
