Delving into the mechanisms of how influenza hijacks the host ANP32 family of proteins to regulate FluPol dimerisation. A joint venture with Daniel Goldhill @influenzal nature.com/articles/s4146…
Understanding the mechanisms of FluPol regulation by host proteins has been keen to responsibly designing novel therapeutic approaches. Excited to finally share our back-to-back Nat Comms papers!
***PAPER ALERT***
So excited to have this out

We asked what happens if you take away a key host factor from influenza?
What cool virology can you uncover?
Polymerase Dimers! ANP32 in mice and chickens?!

How flu alters it's polymerase in order to adapt to differences in host species proteins.
It's only taken 5 years of working at St Mary's hospital but finally visited the Alexander Fleming museum - birth place of Penicillin.
