Let’s Meet the Virologists

LMtV Episode 101: It’s okay to make mistakes!

We talk with Andres Rivera Ruiz, a graduate student in the Wobus lab at the University of Michigan Medical School, who uses intestinal organoids to study astroviruses.

LMtV Episode 100: Early exposure plants seeds!

We talk with Dr. Christine Marizzi, Director of Community Science in Harlem, who works with BioBus and New York City Virus Hunters to facilitate K-12 and college students to discover, explore, and pursue science.

LMtV Episode 99: Resurgent phage - the old is now new!

We talk with Dr. Danielle Campbell, a postdoctoral scholar in the Baldridge lab at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who uses RNA viruses to understand RNA biology.

LMtV Episode 98: Maths genius not required!

We talk with Dr. Inna Ricardo Lax, a postdoctoral scholar in the Rice lab at The Rockefeller University, who uses RNA viruses to understand RNA biology.

LMtV Episode 97: The importance of mentorship!

We talk with Isabella Asamoah, a research assistant at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research in Ghana, who is determining the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in Ghana.

LMtV Episode 96: Don’t get discouraged, your best is yet to come!

We talk with Dr. Dustin Glasner, a postdoctoral scholar in the Daugherty lab at University of California San Diego, who studies the interactions between viruses and the innate immune system.

LMtV Episode 95: Not just in the ocean!

We talk with Austin Robertson, a graduate student in the LeBeau lab at University of Wisconsin - Madison, who uses phage display libraries of shark antibodies to develop new antiviral therapeutics.

LMtV Episode 94: Don’t be afraid to leap!

We talk with Dr. Laura St Clair, a postdoctoral scholar in the Klein lab at John Hopkins University, who studies how the intersection between metabolism, biological sex, and immunology drive differences in the host response to vaccination and virus infection.
