Thank you @gesvirologie.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to present our data on the preclinical efficacy of an MVA-based vaccine approach against Marburg virus.
Proud to be part of this great collaboration with the Volz lab, TiHo Hannover.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is transmitted by specific ticks. Present only south of 50’ latitude so far, global warming could make it move north. Within the German center for infection research (DZIF), @crnlsrhd.bsky.social at Marburg University develops vaccines against this virus.

To be or not to be phosphorylated: Understanding the role of Ebola virus nucleoprotein in the dynamic interplay with the transcriptional activator VP30 and the host phosphatase PP2A-B56 Ebola virus (EBOV) transcription is essentially regulated via dynamic dephosphorylation of its viral transcription activator VP30 by the host phosphatase PP2A. The nucleoprotein NP has emerged as a...

Please find here our newest research paper on Ebola virus Nucleoprotein phosphorylation, published as christmas present in Emerging Microbes and Infections :-) what a good start into 2025, happy new year!
