Research unit at @pasteur.fr. Interested in interactions between zoonotic RNA viruses and host cells (including those from animal reservoirs) Lab logo by @virolicious.bsky.social Profile picture by @nellsaunders.bsky.social
Exciting discovery: we identified two novel species within the genus Enterovirus and demonstrated, for the first time, interspecies recombination events in the non-structural region of the genome.
Huge congratulations to Corentin Aubé 🤩

Tick-borne flaviviruses replicate in the cytoplasm. So why does their polymerase go to the nucleus? We tried to find out :

Back from a little science marathon in North America : presented data on bat antiviral responses at a Paratus Science symposium and at the #BatID meeting in Chicago, had a blast at the amersocvirology.bsky.social meeting and finished with a seminar at the CRCHUM in Montréal. A stimulating trip!
Deadline to register to the @pasteur.fr one week course on EMERGING VIRUSES is July 20th

Congratulations to Ségolène, who successfully defended her PhD (in the BEST DRESS EVER that was sewn by her grandma using 2 posters that she presented recently at international conferences) 👏

Heads up, virologists! ASV's annual meeting is going to Montréal 🇨🇦 in July 2025, and abstract submission closes in <3 weeks -- Monday Feb. 3rd!!! 🔬 🧬 The ASV Program Committee is eagerly awaiting your excellent abstracts! ✍️
The CNRS research department “Insects Models of Innate Immunity” invites applications for a group leader position. Applicants must have a strong record of scientific accomplishments in Drosophila genetics, innate immunity/host-pathogen interactions, or insect physiology. We are looking for candidates who will bring new lines of research to the department (evolution, regulation of gene expression, metabolism, bioinformatics, etc…) and willing to work collaboratively with existing groups in the NetRNA LabEx network (https://labex-netrna.cnrs.fr/presentation/netrnateams/). The department “Insects Models of Innate Immunity” performs cutting edge basic research on insect-pathogen interactions, focusing on the fruit-fly Drosophila as well as vector mosquitoes Anopheles and Aedes (https://ibmc.cnrs.fr/en/laboratoire/m3i/). The department is part of the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMC), located at the heart of the University of Strasbourg campus in France. The IBMC provides a world-class research environment, equipped with cutting-edge facilities for proteomics, genomics, advanced cell imaging and a dedicated insectarium for infectiology studies, including BSL3 containment. Our department participates in the NetRNA consortium, which offers a start-up package of 450k€ covering salary and research support for 3-5 years. Applicants should submit before March 31st , 2025, a curriculum vitae, a summary of research accomplishments (1-2 pages), a summary of future research plans (1-2 pages) and contact information for three professional references. Applications in the form of a single pdf document, or any question regarding the position, should be sent to m3i-sec@ibmc-cnrs.unistra.fr.
Great looking group leader position at CNRS Strasbourg on host-pathogen interactions in insects
An image with text describing the jobs, and the logo of the Royal Veterinary College. The text says: Title: Hiring two postdoctoral researchers. What? Improve identification and response to emerging and endemic virus threats. Where? Royal Veterinary College. How? Genomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics. Who: Working with Prof Oliver Pybus, Dr Sarah Hill, Dr Jayna Rahgwani, and GAP DC. When? Apply by 27th January 2025. Underneath this, there are two boxes describing the two roles: Role 1: Phylodynamics: Introduction, emergence and spread of viruses in farmed and wild animals. Role 2: Detect and understand threats to/from wildlife and their environments.
🦠 We are recruiting two 2-year postdocs to work at the intersection of virus genomics and infectious disease. jobs.rvc.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx... Please share widely!
See this super cool seminar by Tineke Contort (@pasteur.fr Cambodia) that I am helping to co-chair with Tim Morrison (Colorado) THIS THURSDAY by zoom. All welcome!
hello Karim! Thank for the starter pack. Please add me in the v3
Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
Open position: young group leader in the infection area preferably in virology for the Nordic EMBL node MIMS (Laboratory for Molecular Infection Sweden) in Umea, Sweden
