A new preprint from the lab describing an influenza B virus that emerged late in the 2024-25 season that underwent both reassortment and antigenic drift with @CXCLGIN leading my team in this collaboration with @hmostaf2 and supported by @CEIRRNetwork biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It was an honor to have the lab's research be a focus of this video from @HopkinsGiving . Support from private foundations like the Eliasberg Family Foundation is critical for quick responses to new outbreaks and to generate data for formal grant submissions. @JohnsHopkinsMMI
High egg prices could be the tip of the iceberg for avian flu. Dr. Andy Pekosz and his @JohnsHopkinsSPH team are looking into the H5N1 virus and how it is mutating with support from funders like the Eliasberg Family Foundation.

Sad to share this obituary for Robert (Bob) Lamb, who was an outstanding scientist and an incredibly important influence on my scientific career. I'm fortunate to be able to speak next week at the 4th annual Bob Lamb lecture at Northwestern University.
