Proud to announce my first publication is out in @PLOSPathogens ! Huge thanks to my co-first author Wael, @brennanlab, and @castello_lab. The paper explores how tick RNA-binding proteins respond to UUKV infection, you can find the paper here dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

What makes tick-borne and mosquito-borne flaviviruses different? Beyond their different vectors, our recent Nature Communications paper with @JiHoloubek as the first author reveals a key distinction — their maturation process 🦠🦟🔬

Virologists at the zoo! That's not the name of the new exhibition, but our lab trip to Zoo Zlín. 🙂 We enjoyed great weather and saw a Bata's city from above on the way back. 😊
