1st paper in 2023 is out now @CellReports! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… We performed the first DMS of human influenza H3N2 neuraminidase head domain and advances our understanding of the evolutionary potential of NA, therefore, providing insights into NA-based vaccine design.

Our department at the U. Florida is hiring an assistant professor in Virology. We are particularly interested in RNA viruses and RNA biology but will also consider any cool virology research program. Come join us, it is a great supportive department. explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/j…

The peer-reviewed version of this study is now published in @ImmunityCP. The comments from the editor and three anonymous reviewers were very constructive and helped us improve the manuscript. cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the isolation of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein has been a major research focus. Wang et al. analyzed ∼8,000 published human monoclonal antibodies to...

Our new study led by @Yiquan_W & @menz45 thoroughly analyzed the common sequence features of SARS2 spike (S) antibodies and did some deep learning, using the info of ~8000 S antibodies from >200 individuals across 88 publications and 13 patents. (1/14) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A large-scale systematic survey of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies reveals recurring molecular features

In the past two years, the global research in combating COVID-19 pandemic has led to isolation and characterization of numerous human antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike. This enormous collection of...

Our new study led by @RuipengUIUC shows that many natural mutations of human H3N2 NA are deleterious for an ancestral strain. Permissive mutations were systematically identified. Mechanisms were determined, including a 1.4 Å crystal structure. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Prevalence and mechanisms of evolutionary contingency in human influenza H3N2 neuraminidase

Neuraminidase (NA) of human influenza H3N2 virus has evolved rapidly and been accumulating mutations for more than half-century. However, biophysical constraints that govern the evolutionary trajec...

More experts agree with @UofIllinois' @_chris_brooke and @rlsdvm_epivet that saliva samples catch COVID-19 virus earlier than nasal. That's one of the reasons why our covidSHIELD test identifies positives & can help slow virus spread. nytimes.com/2022/01/14/healt…

For Coronavirus Testing, the Nose May Not Always Be Best (Published 2022)

As Omicron spreads, some experts are calling for a switch to saliva-based tests, which may detect infections days earlier than nasal swabs do.

4. What #flu there is is ALL H3N2, one of the influenza A viruses. Almost nothing else being seen here this winter.
