Our previous amazing research technician published their own first-author paper, has been a co-author on every manuscript in preperation, and ultimately received multiple graduate school offers from top PhD programs around the country. If this sounds like a good career move to you please inquire!
Our lab is hiring for a Research Assistant position! Please repost widely.

Have you ever wondered why children starting nursery/daycare pick up so many germs? I certainly did, and with a crack team of parent-scientists/clinicians, we set out to answer that question. Is childcare a germ factory or an immune bootcamp? journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Essentially all dsRNA sensing is thought to occur in the cytoplasm, so how a human cell can tease apart truly pathogenic RNA from endogenous repetitive elements is important for both cell biology and the pathogenesis of nuclear viruses.
Very excited to announce that the Price Lab has received a first major NIH award! In this five year NIGMS R35 MIRA we will be exploring fundamental processing and recognition of nuclear double-stranded (ds)RNA.
Very elegant microscopy and in depth interpretations!
Honored and grateful to be promoted to Professor. Thank you to the mentors, colleagues, students, and collaborators who made this possible.
Thrilled to share the first major preprint from the lab. Viruses are classically viewed as targets of host sensing. Do viruses also sense and respond to the host? We propose viruses may act as “biosensors” of the host signaling state. A thread👇🏾 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Wonderful opportunity!
🚨New faculty job opportunity 🚨

🧬 Exciting news from our lab 🧬 The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has approved our project studying KSHV and RNA decay: our first grant since re-launching the lab in Switzerland 🎉 We’re now looking for a Postdoc and a PhD student to join the team (start date January 2026) - please repost!
I'm thrilled to announce I'll be joining the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at the University of Florida in January 2026! My lab will study RNA virus-host interactions with a particular focus on the spatial regulation of viral replication and innate immune activation. genoyerlab.com
Amazing and congrats! They are a great department down there!
This work was led by Claire O'Brien, our amazing Research Assistant who has learned every molecular virology technique under the sun in putting this together. I bring it up because she is applying for grad schools this fall and would be an amazing addition to any program!
We believe these tools will be useful to adenovirologists, as well as those that simply use this powerful little virus as a vector. In the manuscript we demonstrate using the E4 region for multicistronic gene expression, as well as a single vector system for doxycycline-induced gene expression.
Using the amazing AdenoBuilder system we have constructed a set of fluorescent and bioluminescent Ad5 viruses. By exploiting the existing transcriptional units of the virus, our single color and dual color (early/late) reporters reflect the staging of the virus with wildtype replication kinetics.
Very excited to share the first publication from the Price Lab, "Replication-competent adenovirus reporters utilizing endogenous viral expression architecture", is now online at Journal of Virology!

So excited to see our newest study out in print! Led by the brilliant @jgezelle.bsky.social and @sophiekorn.bsky.social, we discovered how viruses from highly divergent families converge on a shared RNA structure mechanism to inhibit cellular nucleases. #RNAsky #LoveVirology
First ever Price Lab paper accepted this morning!!! Hopefully follow-up post soon to showcase our new systems.

The 20 years of sneezes to the face is what sent me, but every panel has a line that makes me laugh!
Excited to share that our latest story on Restrictor is out now in @genesdev.bsky.social!! Big thank you to my fellow co-first author Hanneke, Karen @adelmanlab.bsky.social and co-authors Nathalie and Allison!
We are excited to share our recent work:
EBNA leader protein orchestrates chromatin architecture remodeling during Epstein-Barr virus-induced B cell transformation url: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
Also serial numbers of random equipment!
The Price Lab turned two years old this week! Of course we celebrated with cake, but the cherry on top was submitting our labs very first manuscript today! Excited to see what the rest of the year holds.
Postdoc positions available! Please re-post!
