Very happy to have been promoted to Professor of Mucosal Immunology at Imperial College London NHLI Huge thanks to current and past group members, colleagues, collaborators, mentors, supervisors, funders, friends and family.🥂

Pretty cool that our coronavirus spike stabilization (2P) patent was one of the winners of the USPTO Patents for Humanity award in the COVID-19 category: uspto.gov/blog/director/… Barney Graham, MD, PhD The Ward Lab Nianshuang Wang

Researchers have discovered the first known "virovore," an organism that feeds on viruses. Probably there are many others like it -- an entire, previously unknown food chain. One day into 2023, and already things are going topsy turvy. eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #ecology #life

It's an incredible day for structure-based vaccine design, and I'm thrilled to see our prefusion RSV F antigen get approved as the first RSV vaccine. Still more work to do to reduce the RSV disease burden, but this will help! Congrats Barney Graham, MD, PhD! cnn.com/2023/05/03/hea…

Remarkable insights into the immunology of severe COVID from these incredible genetic studies - humbling to have been a very small part. So mechanisms to be understood!

Crazy!!! Fluorescence microscopy has now achieved Angstrom resolution! Jungmann Lab Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) could even resolve single DNA base-pairs. Works also to resolve individual NPC proteins in cells. Amazing work today nature! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding! We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES! Hear me out & see preprint: bit.ly/3MVqXU9 🧵1/

1/13 Excited to share our study describing a 161 gene signature able to simultaneously classify 18 paediatric infectious & inflammatory diseases using multi-class supervised #Machinelearning. Out in Med by Cell Press after a few years in the making 📰 cell.com/med/fulltext/S…

I'm a Professor!!!!!! (thought about more mature ways of saying it, but this worked) Thanks to everyone Imperial College London Imperial Medicine Imperial Department of Infectious Disease for all the support along the way: mentors, team, colleagues And of course Charlie Weller

A fascinating work is published today nature by Zhang & Zhang et al. on a serendipitous discovery of haemoglobin expression outside the RBC cells--in chondrocytes--and their critical role in keeping our cartilage alive under an oxygen-deprived environment.

Congratulations, DR. Alex Macharia. Incredible defence of your PhD thesis to pass WITHOUT CORRECTIONS! And to your supervisors led by Prof Tom Williams! alexmacharia Tom Williams IDeAL, Africa KEMRI-Wellcome Trust

Excited to share the pre-print describing our efforts to stabilize the HCMV gB ectodomain in a prefusion-like conformation. We and others have now routinely stabilized class I viral fusion proteins, but class III viral fusogens have been more difficult.

New paper out from the CJ lab! Have a look if you are interested in knowing more about SARS-CoV-2 omicron mouse models!! Great collaborative study Patricia Ogger wendybarclay NHLI
