33 million euro investment for national electron microscope facility EMPower A major new national facility for electron microscopy, called EMPower, has been awarded to a consortium of Dutch universities and medical centers. EMPower aims to pave the way for major discoveries im...

Thrilled, and admittedly relieved, to see this major investment in Dutch #cryoEM become reality! πŸ‡³πŸ‡±πŸ”¬

Honoured to be a co-applicant on this national initiative and very excited for the opportunity to advance our work in cellular structural virology! 🦠

Interested in our recent norovirus NS3 work? πŸ‘‡

Join us to dig deeper!

I'm recruiting a PhD candidate to investigate NS3's role in viral replication and assembly using #cryoEM, #cryoET, and other complementary techniques.

Latest preprint from the lab, many years in the making!

By combining #cryoEM with #AlphaFold3 modelling, we propose that norovirus NS3 forms a transmembrane RNA translocase.

This could have big implications for our understanding of viral replication & assembly (🧡)

Think coronavirus spikes have run out of surprises? Think again.

Our latest preprint dives into the highly unusual spikes of marine mammal coronaviruses.

The critical role of enterovirus 2A protease in viral translation, replication, and antagonism of host antiviral responses Enteroviruses dramatically remodel the cellular infrastructure for efficient replication and curtailing host antiviral responses. Proteases 2Apro and 3Cpro have been implicated in these processes base...

Latest #virology research from the lab! πŸ‘‡

Using genetic approaches and live-cell imaging, we show that the viral 2A protease plays a critical role in subverting antiviral responses and establishing a favorable host environment to expedite enterovirus replication.

This study focuses on PDCoV, an emerging enteric pathogen.

We generated anti-spike mAbs & investigated their inhibitory mechanisms using structural & functional studies.
