Thrilled to share our recent manuscript (linked 👇) which defines a novel metabolic–epigenetic crosstalk that supports gammaherpesvirus replication and identifies host pathways as antiviral targets. #viruses #antiviral #metabolomics #RNAseq #epigenetics #herpesviruses www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/18...

In light of policies to defund biomedical research, and with judicial hearings happening today, we hope to highlight the many ways biomedical research improves people's lives, and to convey how damaging the proposed cuts would be... not just for us researchers, but for everyone.

While I hope this gets overturned, if it does remain a 15% indirect cost rate, universities will need to revise their tenure and promotion requirements. Young faculty will not be able to achieve tenure and produce as many publications under this new structure. 🧪 grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

It’s the next generation of cancer research. If a specific cancer runs in your family (genetics), you can get a vaccine against that kind of cancer. Essentially, it provides your immune system a “mug shot” of the cancer type & allows your body to kill the cancer if it does arise in the future. 🧪

Today, I reached the point in academia where a peer reviewer stated that there was a gap in my knowledge before going on to say that to rectify it I would need to read….. one of my articles. A milestone.

Life of a virology professor. It is always fascinating to see the physiological changes in cells after they are virus infected. My lab is 1) identifying how gammaherpesviruses (which cause cancer) change host cell metabolism and 2) identifying anti-metabolism drugs that can be used as antivirals. 🧪

It’s up to us to continue to advocate for DEI in STEM. Promote inclusive hiring, amplify diverse voices, invite diverse speakers to give research seminars / keynote talks at conferences, & inclusively mentor underrepresented groups. Diversity in STEM is essential! 🧪 www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s that time of year where the super contagious Norovirus is circulating and makes stuff come out both ends. It takes on average 36 hours between exposure to symtoms and usually you are sick 1-2 days. Here is my advice 🧪…👇👇👇 (1/n)

It’s fun to have more time to perform experiments in my lab during my sabbatical. I come into the lab a couple times a week, and then I just relax when I am home. No lectures to prep, no classes to teach, and no late night grading. A very nice break! 🧪 #professorlife
