First piece of SARS-CoV-2 work out there now. We submitted our first whole genome sequence of our cultured stocks for research work, VIDO-01 passaged in VERO E6, sequenced P2. Now on @GISAID with help from @Scalene @NetworkArtic @VIDOInterVac EPI_ISL_425177

“Needing a distraction from writing a grant application at home, he used a dial-up modem to check if the draft human genome, contained a second microRNA his lab had described. “It comes back matching the human genome, it was like ‘holy s this is great’,.”

Nature - Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun identified a class of tiny molecules that have a crucial role in controlling gene expression.

Important preclinical therapeutic work for Sudan ebolavirus, a deadly virus, done right here in 🇨🇦. Congratulations @BryceWarner1 and @RVendramelli et al!
Some Filovirus therapeutic work from my previous lab now out in J Virol. This study showing delayed treatment of Sudan virus infected NHPs with a monoclonal cocktail is highly effective. More countermeasures for non-EBOV species are critically needed!

Our new paper on #longcovid in a preclinical animal model, changed proteins 31 days after infection in the young. Sex based differences and surprising as disease is mild with quick resolution in this model. Teamwork with @BryceWarner1 and @RVendramelli

Meanwhile people tout the birthrates in Nigeria as being superior for the economy, there is a cost associated with that for women.
There are few things more tragic than a mother losing her life in the moment that she is giving life to her newborn. The risk of a woman dying in childbirth has declined significantly across the world. Yet this progress has been unequal. Read more: https://t.co/6NxZPXpk8h

Not sure bluesky is much better, I think the twitter era may be largely dead.

Really missing Winnipeg right now.
“The tornado will dissipate the wildfire smoke” is a real climate catastrophe vibe for this fine Ottawa evening.

Congrats to our department head, Dr. David Safronetz, @akelvinlab, and all others on this great achievement!
CIHR is funding six Canadian researchers to accelerate the development of vaccines against emerging diseases with outbreak potential, five in partnership with @CEPIvaccines! https://t.co/HznL6elR1g

HPAI H5N1, the cause of multiple avian outbreaks in N. and S. Am. over the past year, that typically does not transmit between mammals: "One isolate, A/Red Tailed Hawk/ON/FAV-0473-4/2022, efficiently transmitted by direct contact between ferrets, resulting in lethal outcomes."
For the last little while we've been working on currently circulating H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses. Here is some of our work evaluating mammalian pathogenesis in mice and ferrets 👇👇. https://t.co/B4w5tUoOsJ

Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of the H5N1 subtype are highly lethal in many avian species. Since 2014, viruses of the genetically distinct clade 2.3.4.4 have been circulating in Eurasia,...

My twitter is such garbage, I see almost nothing from those I follow and my feed is mainly tweeps I do NOT follow. It's hard to believe how much more useful it was prior to Nov 2022, now it's worse than JR HIGH.

Highly virulent H5HPAI isolate from a hawk in Canada, capable of infection in mice and ferrets, with severe disease, efficient contact transmission, and some airborne transmission in ferrets. Stresses the importance of enhanced surveillance. Globally https://t.co/GoYKrjwXPJ
