Tragic. We had polio almost eradicated, but disruption to vaccination campaigns due to COVID, global instability, defunding & vaccine hesitancy have led us here

We compare the mutational tolerance of enteroviruses A & B across their full proteomes, mapping distinct host interaction strategies 🦠 and identifying mutation-resistant regions that could inform antiviral development 💊

Differences in constraint reflect changes in host-virus interactions, immune pressures, and protein functions that have evolved over the thousands of years since these viruses diverged. A really fun collaboration with new friends! Congrats to @williambakhache.bsky.social and @bealro.bsky.social 🧪 🦠

Postdoc Position in Virology (1yr, renewable) We are launching M+RVL, a new research group dedicated to better understanding the fundamental mechanisms of positive-strand RNA virus replication. Supported by the LabEx NetRNA research cluster, the team is based within the Mosquito Models of Innate Immunity (M3I) unit at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMC) in Strasbourg, France. Strasbourg is a lively city in northeastern France that offers a high quality of life, a vibrant university system, and a historic city center at the heart of Europe. Research Focus Replication organelles (ROs) are membrane-bound compartments that drive genome replication in positive-strand RNA viruses. Mosquito-borne viruses must assemble ROs in both mosquito and vertebrate hosts, which are separated by hundreds of millions of years of evolution. While structural biology has revealed the architecture of ROs in human cells, structure alone cannot explain their assembly, dynamics, and host-specific interactions, highlighting the need for integrative approaches. To address this gap, M+RVL integrates high-throughput genetics, proteomics, and computational modeling to dissect the mechanisms governing RO formation and function across hosts. Research Leadership The group is led by William Bakhache, Ph.D. Essential Skills: Strong background in virology, molecular biology, and biochemistry techniques. Desired Experience: Experience handling BSL-3 pathogens; expertise in computational biology (e.g., NGS analysis, proteomics data analysis, structural modeling). How to Apply Please send a single PDF containing a cover letter (detailing past and future research interests), a CV, and contact information for two references to williambakhache@hotmail.com.

Post-doc job alert! Please share with anyone who might be interested! @amersocvirology.bsky.social #virology #virosky #evolution

Thrilled to finally share the magnum opus of my PhD that focuses on the genetic basis of evolutionary change! Specifically, we know we can map the genetic basis of a trait, but can we tell which genes will underlie the trait shift when it evolves? doi.org/10.1101/2025...
