Happy to share latest paper at @scienceTM from our Prometheus consortium on broadly neutralizing antibodies against emerging hantaviruses from human convalescent donors. We're especially excited about one particular antibody we've identified. https://t.co/aqCjEcgPCZ 1/10

Human neutralizing antibodies recognizing the viral glycoprotein complex are broadly protective against orthohantaviruses.

Harnessing structural and functional techniques, researchers identify and optimize a pan #hantavirus antibody that can protect rodents against infections with the evolutionarily distinct Puumala virus & Andes virus. @MittlerEva @Guardado_Calvo @EinsteinMed

New paper from @taaron24 and co-authors which shows how TNFalpha inflammation reduces antibody duration by driving plasma cells out of the bone marrow. Thanks to our collaborators in @ChandranLab lab. https://t.co/XO78M6MYlQ

Dr. Pirofski is one of my top mentors who I’m grateful and privileged to also call a true friend. Congratulations Liise-anne 🥳 #WeAreID @EinsteinMed @MontefioreID
Congratulations to Dr. Liise-anne Pirofski who is the recipient of the 2022 IDSA mentoring award. She has mentored dozens of physicians and scientists and a made a huge positive difference in the careers of many. Very well deserved. https://t.co/OCw1iiGHod

Hope pan-Ebola cocktail MBP134, discovered by @ZABornholdt, @AnnaWec1, @LauraWa27423872, @RobertWCross, @bmgunn31++others, developed by Mapp+@BARDA, makes it into people. Single dose reverses severe Sudan virus disease in nonhuman primates. In Phase I rn.
With 64 probable infections and 30 deaths across 5 districts, the Ebola outbreak in Uganda is already one of the largest on record. See why @DanielBausch2, @BrakaFiona, @ChandranLab, and Gary Kobinger are worried in my latest for @Nature: https://t.co/mRnUTnvdCy

Last Monday my PhD advisor, Marc Caron, died suddenly. Everyone who knew him is grieving. He was a phenomenal family man, mentor, and scientist. Hearing stories throughout the week has been helping me cope so I wanted to share some of my fav Marc memories
