Unlocking the Virus-Host Interplay to enhance pandemic preparedness: Focus on the SARSCoV-2 Protein Nsp1 The complex interplay between viruses and the host cells they invade can pose threats to public health and fascinate scientists. Investigating viral mechanisms of host cell invasion also provides key answers to critical social challenges and enhances pandemic preparedness. 

Invited speaker from the Nanopore community event. Presented how we created a catalog of mRNAs targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in human cells. 

Invited speaker from the Nanopore community to describe how we apply Nanopore sequencing to study mRNA degradation in human cells.

Our findings on how the SARS-CoV-2 inhibits cellular translation were highlighted in a short documentary, “NO DENIAL”, presented at the 3rd Global Science Film Festival. The movie highlights the importance of collaboration between scientists and the media to combat misinformation. It was produced by a team of researchers from the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and University of Bern
