The final piece of my PhD work is now published in Science Translational Medicine! We present a new framework to jointly infer epidemiological and antigenic parameters from multi-pathogen population serological studies🦠 www.science.org/stoken/autho...

Heterogeneity in inhibition of genetically diverse dengue virus strains by Wolbachia
The release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transinfected with the virus-inhibiting Wolbachia bacterium has the potential to reduce the burden caused by dengue virus (DENV). However, the robustness of thi...

Serological data provide key insights on pathogen circulation. We introduce a new R package, Rsero, which is a pipeline to store and analyze age-stratified sero data, estimate the history of pathogen circulation and compare different transmission models. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Great way to start the year! A paper in @nature.com by our amazing @noemie presenting a way to use sequences to identify pathogen lineages, quantify their fitness, and identify potentially important genes/snps . Works across bugs, even with minimally and biased set of sequences.

Great way to finish the year! Paper by our @huangat.bsky.social in @pnas.org showing that relying on seroconversions in cohorts will usually lead to horribly biased #dengue incidence estimates whereas models relying on age data from local hospital typically robust.

We are very proud to share that @hsalje.bsky.social has been awarded an #ERC Consolidator Grant 🎉 He will be exploring how host, immunity and mosquito factors combine to determine the evolving fitness of the #dengue virus 🦠

#Measles antibody dynamics are highly predictive. Knowing only a future mum’s titre, we can predict how the infant will respond to vaccine much later. We also see vaccine failure linked to csection birth - maybe due to way microbiome develops. Important these infants get 2nd dose t.co/MqxTtuIHTH

🧪Yup. Looks like you can atone for original antigenic sin. As with all learning, repetition is key 🥲 (The sky ain’t falling. Imprinting is real, but reports of the immune system’s demise were premature.) h/t @thelonevirologist.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
