Pleased to share the great work of @Ari1saacs Yu Shang Low @cusycon and the team. We used our next generation clamp tech and @CMMUQ1 CRYOARM300 to reveal novel F structures for the divergent Langya and Mojiang Henipaviruses.

I’m honoured to receive the 2022 @CSL Centenary Fellowship. This award will enable my team @UQ_SCMB to look deeper into how viral proteins work and make new broad-spectrum therapies that can target emerging viruses before they become pandemics.
CSL @CSL Oct 26, 2021
We announce our 2022 CSL Centenary Fellows tonight. Two rising stars will each receive $1.25 million to advance their discovery or translational research.
