Together with Lars Kaderali and Darius Schweinoch we even established a mathematical model capable of simulating signal propagation from incoming dsRNA via secreted IFN to the induction of ISG. Lastly, we also investigated the impact of #virus encoded antagonists (#HCV NS3/4A, #CSFV Npro, #DENV NS5, #SARSCoV2 ORF6) onto the dynamics of IFN induction.

👉 Toward a vaccine against hepatitis C virus
📌A vaccine protecting against chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (#HCV) is urgently needed to address the ongoing public health crisis caused by this insidious pathogen—a major cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
📌Efforts toward development of vaccines were initiated after the discovery of HCV in 1989, but to date, no vaccine has been licensed.

Happy to have visited #Seattle to discuss Seattle joining Fast-Track Cities. No City has completely eradicated #HIV as a threat, but more and more as cities reach higher numbers of status knowledge, linkage to care, and viral suppression, the conversation moves towards identifying who faces the most barriers to care, and who faces the highest barriers to obtaining and maintain an undetectable viral load, and how do we incorporate #HCV and other treatable and/or curable conditions into screening?
For this week’s #SyndemicsLabSpotlight we are highlighting Ben Buzzee, a senior data analyst working primarily with the HEP CE model!
