Excited to share our new study @nature led by @VirologyHarvard grad student Wanyu @wanyuviridae that explores shifted receptor usage by a unique “submerging” arbovirus, western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV).🤩

So excited to be a part of this group! As a former @HHMINEWS EXROP student, then Gilliam Fellow, being selected as an investigator is a dream come true. Shout out to all @abrahamlabhms members and alumni! @HarvardMicro @BlackInMicro @HarvardMITmdphd 🤩🥳🙌🧪🥼

Excited to share @biorxivpreprint in collaboration with Rachel Fearns at BU in which we determined the cryo-EM structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex! The complex assembles with a tobacco pipe-like shape with a flexible stem (do you see it?)😃😅

Congratulations to @yyang_cella, postdoc in @SjorsScheres group in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, who is starting her own research group at @VAInstitute, investigating molecular mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases! Best of luck to you Yang! #LMBAlumni
