Spreading of SARS-CoV-2 from hamsters to humans thelancet.com/journals/lance… our comment on doi.org/10.1016/S0140-…

New preprint: Pulmonary lesions following inoculation with Omicron in hamsters. Great work from Melanie Rissmann with help from Bart Haagmans 🦠🐪 🤧 Rory de Vries Debby van Riel Thijs Kuiken Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl and many others. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In our recent review in Nat Rev Micr (rdcu.be/cKbdj), we explore recent advances regarding SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology, specifically focusing on new insights obtained using technologies such as single-cell omics, organoid infection models and CRISPR screens. Mart Lamers

Alright, the SAVE (SARS-CoV-2 Assessment of Viral Evolution program) paper is out! "Defining the risk of SARS-CoV-2 variants on immune protection" nature.com/articles/s4158…

SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis nature.com/articles/s4157… Bart Haagmans 🦠🐪 🤧 and Mart Lamers explore recent clinical and experimental advances in understanding SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis, interactions with host cells and the involvement of the immune system in the development of severe disease.

Congratulations Bart Collet Haagmans for the @escmidd 2022 excellence award

Our 87G7 manuscript is now online Science Immunology! 🎉 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Thank you (and congrats) to the entire MANCO Project team!

A new Report finds that #Omicron BA1 and BA2 subvariants are antigenically distinct, offering insight into the #SARSCoV2 Spike antigen’s evolution and future vaccine development. ➡️ fcld.ly/1cltkzs

Our new paper is out now! Persistence of MERS-CoV spike specific B cells and antibody responses induced by the MERS vaccine candidate MVA-MERS-S. Great work by Marie Weskamm and thanks for the great collaboration Becker lab Bart Haagmans 🦠🐪 🤧 cell.com/cell-reports-m…

First observations on vaccinia and monkeypox specific responses in person with infection and vaccination, with and without historic smallpox vaccination medrxiv.org/content/10.110… great teamwork again Rory de Vries Corine GeurtsvanKessel Bart Haagmans 🦠🐪 🤧 GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond Mart Lamers

This study is the result of another team effort between well prepared clinicians, virologists, public health specialists and others, honoured to work with all of them!

Historic #smallpox vaccination and #monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection elicit MPXV-neutralizing antibodies, but these responses are of lower magnitude after vaccination with MVA-BN, the #vaccine in use for protection against MPXV and smallpox Corine GeurtsvanKessel nature.com/articles/s4159…

Mapping XBB.1's antigenic distance (among others): "We observed that human post-vaccination neutralisation titres reflected the antigenic map, as the largest reduction in neutralising titres compared with the D614G variant" thelancet.com/journals/lanmi… The Lancet Microbe Bart Haagmans 🦠🐪 🤧

Our latest research is now online Frontiers - Immunology! Wenjuan Du et al made a hexavalent biparatopic HCAb targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike. This molecule neutralised multiple VOCs, whereas the parental HCAbs lost potency. Congrats to everyone involved! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

The HERA laboratory network, called DURABLE, kick off is now 🥳 Coming together in Paris with the common goal of advancing health security. DURABLE will provide rapid, high-quality scientific information to support 🇪🇺 preparedness & response to cross-border health threats.

My first paper is out! We identified the intestines of Nathusius's Pipistrelle Bats as a replication site of a naturally occuring Betacoronavirus to contribute to our knowledge on interactions of bat coronaviruses in their natural hosts. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…
