Fascinated by viruses and the diseases they cause.

Congrats to @ulad-litvin.bsky.social on winning 2nd best talk at #Vibiom2026! @cvrinfo.bsky.social 🏅
🚨New pre-print!🚨
Because influenza virions are highly variable in form no single method can show their molecular architecture in detail. Here, we integrate multiple structural and compositional approaches to identify new features of these beautiful virus particles

🚨New paper!🚨
Our study showing that H5N1 influenza viruses can remain infectious in unpasteurised milk for, basically, as long as you are likely to encounter that milk has now been published:

Great to see a strong CVR contingent at #Vibiom2026 with Hayley Stone and James Herzig from @vibelab.co.uk and Robert Strange, Joseph Hughes and Ulad Litvin from @cvrbioinfo.bsky.social giving talks across the meeting sessions and @davidlrobertson.bsky.social chairing the Phylogenomics session!
Emma will work to strengthen local research capacity in order to improve the detection of emerging viral infections in Uganda, a country which frequently faces outbreaks of life-threatening viral diseases such as Ebola and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever.
🚨New pre-print!🚨
Influenza viruses need proteases to become infectious. Here, we identify the proteases needed for influenza D virus entry, and show that proteases in the human airway are more than capable of activating this non-human virus
