Reposted by David CourtneyDaniel Goldhill @influenzal.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Finishing virology/biology PhD students, postdocs in need of a job- this is a lab you should join! Am I biased? 100% yes- because I know that the Sheppard lab will be an awesome place to work and you'll do great science. Spread the word! 021
David Courtney @thecourtneylab.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Checkout our review article at PLOS. Happy to see the thoughts of Stefano and myself on influenza virus RNA trafficking published in PLOS Pathogens a few days ago. A topic we are both greatly interested in. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...dx.plos.orgInfluenza A virus RNA localisation and the interceding trafficking pathways of the host cellViruses have evolved to efficiently navigate host cells to deliver, express, and replicate their genetic material.
