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

The seasonal #fluvaccine is less effective in some years than others. In a new study published in #ScienceAdvances, #StJude #scientists found mutations that can improve or impair #flu vaccines and may give clues to assess the #pandemic potential of flu viruses in nature.
