The risk of #infections and other complications is pronounced in the weeks after a #pediatric #BoneMarrowTransplant. Read about a new #StJude study identifying those at the highest risk, which may help protect these vulnerable #children. https://bit.ly/3PmEIx1 #StJudeResearch #ChildhoodCancer #Microbiome

When people think of #virology, they rarely think of a week at the beach. But for the last 38 years, #StJude #avianflu hunters have traveled to #DelawareBay to collect #birdpoop which, this year, will help provide context for the ongoing #pandemic. https://bit.ly/43DRV8K #StJudeResearch #FluResearch

We proudly welcome Dr. Victor J. Torres as chair of the newly formed #StJude Department of Host-Microbe Interactions, which will focus on treating and preventing #diseasecausing #infections in children. Torres, who starts in July, is actively #recruiting world-class investigators to undertake #research to learn key information about fundamental biological, molecular and chemical processes of #infectiousdiseases. https://bit.ly/43Rrr3m #StJudeResearch

At the end of May, #NewYorkTimes reporter Emily Anthes accompanied #StJude #virologists on their yearly trek to #DelawareBay in #NewJersey to document their collection of #birdpoop. #Virologist Dr. Robert Webster, now St. Jude emeritus faculty, started going to the area in 1985. “Delaware Bay has turned into an influenza gold mine,” he says. “And we will continue to mine that gold mine until we’ve found the answers.” Follow their journey. http://bit.ly/3IVn1AA #FluResearch
