👏 Featuring @alexkupke.bsky.social at the Philipp University of Marburg.
We’re excited to highlight Alex Kupke, a DEFENDER partner based at the Institute of Virology at Philipp University of Marburg. Her research plays a vital role in advancing our understanding of high-consequence viral threats.

Let me just point here that transGENIC mice are not the same as tranGENDER mice.
Transgenic mice are those where we introduce a gene into one of their chromosomes to study mechanisms of disease and find cures.
Transgender mice, as described by D. Trump in his recent congress speech, do not exist.🧪

Thank you @gesvirologie.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to present our data on the preclinical efficacy of an MVA-based vaccine approach against Marburg virus.
Proud to be part of this great collaboration with the Volz lab, TiHo Hannover.

Erstmals seit Ende der 1980er Jahre wurde in Deutschland wieder ein Fall von Maul- und Klauenseuche (MKS), verursacht durch das Maul- und Klauenseuche-Virus (MKSV; FMDV), bei Wasserbüffeln nachgewiesen, wie das Friedrich-Löffler-Institut berichtet.
