Final keynote talk closing the meeting from Dr. Rich Stanton Rich Stanton on regulation of natural killer cell function by SARS-CoV-2 infection Systems Immunity Research Institute Cardiff University Infection and Immunity annual meeting 2021.

1/2 And the UK-publish-your-work-in-eLife - the journal day continues with Rich Stanton group's using unbiased proteomic analysis showing CoV-2 Nsp1 & Nsp14 downregulation of activating NK ligands B7-H6, MICA, ULBP2, & Nectin1 (at translational level) in lung epithelial cells.

Really pleased to get this one out from the lab! We investigated how SARS-CoV-2 remodels the plasma membrane proteome to inhibit innate NK functions, but also expresses multiple viral antigens that make it susceptible to ADCC. elifesciences.org/articles/74489

Reflecting on a great NK conference #NK2022 at a great location and looking forward to the next one. It has been an honour to present some of the work I did at #cardiffuniversity with Rich Stanton and Edward Wang on a novel, NK inhibitory, HCMV protein. #nkcells

OK, Virologists on the job market - I did a thing! You know how the Psych people have a google doc with job announcements and updates? Well - I made one for Virologists! You can access it here: tinyurl.com/virojobs Please share and update as the job market rolls on! Good luck!

You’ll also find a project with our lab as coinvestigators with the awesome Paola Borri (PI) looking to develop a cool new technology to monitor the trafficking of #adenoviruses inside cells! Check that out too and please RT 👍🏻 🧬 🔬

🎉🎉2023 THE WUR Ranking results......

A nice collaborative follow-on from our work looking at what drives ADCC against SARS-CoV-2 (elifesciences.org/articles/74489), showing that non-spike (and non-neutralising) antibody responses can be protective jci.org/articles/view/…
