Solid crew there!

Oral nucleoside antiviral is progressing toward future pandemic preparedness - UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health May 23, 2024 An orally administered investigational antiviral — obeldesivir — is broadly effective against coronaviruses.

Ebola-infected Monkeys Cured With A Pill, Raising Hopes For Humans: Study Monkeys infected with Ebola can be cured with a pill, according to a new study out Friday that could pave the way for more practical, affordable treatments in humans.

Working with collaborators at @GileadSciences , we at @UTMB have developed an oral treatment for Sudan ebolavirus, Marburg virus, and most recently Zaire ebolavirus shown effective in nonhuman primates: www.barrons.com/news/ebola-i...

Working with colleagues Gilead, we developed oral drugs to treat filoviruses like Marburg virus and ebolaviruses www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fresh work from our group in collaboration with @GileadSciences in @NatureMedicine demonstrating post exposure protection against Marburg virus in NHPs using oral Obeldesivir. @UTMBProvost @UTMBPresident @utmbhealth with support from @NIAIDNews www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When the editor rejects the paper but you choose to interpet it as an agreement to see major revisions

This is true giving.

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

He does…

Contagion was impressively prescient…not perfect, but not bad…

Couldn’t find a virology starter pack so here’s one to get the ball rolling. Repost/reply if you are a virologist so I can find and add you to the list!

Graphical abstract of the published manuscript.

New paper from Amit Khandhar’s team at HDT Bio demonstrating that our LION/repRNA platform can be thermostabilized by lyophilization, enabling refrigerator stability for at least 1 year!

Clear implications for global access to vaccines based on our technology.

A starter pack for all virologists out there on the blue side ! Might be missing some people but it’s a good start ! go.bsky.app/DmphBCT
