Having worked closely with Amanda and helping mentor her during her PhD studies on MCPyV, I could not be more proud! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for both Dr. Loke and the areas of research she helped develop and drive forward.

Celebrating Dr. Megan Spurgeon’s official last day in the lab. Looking forward to all the new and exciting research that will be coming out of the Spurgeon Lab. Prost!

Spurgeon Lab Day 1 ✅

Getting excited and looking forward to talking tumor viruses and seeing old friends at #DNATV2025 in Trieste!

“Among people aged 65 and older and 55 to 64, the largest increases (32.2% and 21.9%, respectively) were for human papillomavirus (HPV). Diagnoses of HPV also rose for those 45 to 54 (11.3%) and 35 to 44 (3.6%)…” cidrap.umn.edu/sexually-trans…

It’s early but not too early to get ready for #DNATVM2024 in lovely Trieste. Yes, you too could earn one of these amazing priceless medals.
