Great news! @asm.org partners with the Korean Society of Virology and @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social. ASM's Journal of Virology (JVI) becomes an affiliated journal of both societies, providing members with exclusive benefits.
More global collaboration for virus research! asm.org/press-releas...
Our Australasian Virology Society Award for Best Virology Talk goes to Marwan Majzoub! Congratulations Marwan, a fantastic presentation on some awesome #virology research. Thank you @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social for making this prize possible. #MicroSeq2025
Great to see this hard work finally published, led by UQ colleagues Ariel Isaacs & Dan Watterson 👏
We assessed the nanobody and engineered bispecific nanobody-MAb at BSL4 with live virus and found superior neutralization capability

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 08 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41594-025-01598-2Here, Isaacs, Nieto and Zhang et al. discover a potent nanobody and engineer a dual-action antibody that targets two viral proteins, offering strong protection against Nipah and Hendra viruses while preventing viral escape, potentially contributing to future treatments.
