Dr Poochit Nonejuie presents bacterial cytological profiling to separate antibiotic activity according to morphological changes, to find new antibiotics. AI is being used to have better resolution of these imaging differences.

Amazing desserts!

Dr Ittipat Meewan at Mahidol University is doing machine learning methods to model ligand-binding to identify small compound antivirals.

Today at Mahidol University:

Today in Bangkok. Crudo of sea bass with garlic, caviar, mandarins. River view. Caramel carrots. Workout with my twin. Tomorrow - computation and antiviral symposium at Mahidol University

new review article out from the Univ of Parma and Univ of Lausanne compounds targeting the lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KB) and the tyrosine kinase proteins Src and Abl link here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Institutional seminar given today by Prof Mehdi Bouhaddou from UCLA. Interesting work on how virus proteins are phosphorylated to turn functions up or down. A lab meeting followed to set up Bouhaddou-Vignuzzi lab collaborations.

Strict cheese cake workout. 4 split sets of chocolate and Oreo. 12 bites, 10, 8, last set until exhaustion.

Science meets pop culture

On the 7th day of Chinese new year, Yee sang, raw fish salad, is tossed and eaten in Malaysia and Singapore during Lunar New Year. You are meant to shout out requests for prosperity and toss the ingredients as high as you can - the higher you toss the more luck you will have in the new year

Thank you Johan Neyts of KU Leuven for giving an inspiring seminar covering so many different antivirals that your lab has discovered. Followed by dinner at Bumbu peranakan restaurant, true Singaporean flavours. www.bumbu.sg/our-story

Visit to Hradec Kralove, was a great reunion. It’s so nice to see a former lab member doing well, running their own research program and juggling professorial duties. Veronika Bernhauerova - math modeling of virus infection and antiviral treatments and major teaching duties in maths and computer sci

My letter to ASM leaders that I sent is too long to be posted here, so I'm going to post highlights in case anyone else needs information for their letter. 🧵

Hello Prague! ❤️

Heading to Hradec Kralove (Czechia) tomorrow to Charles University where former VignuzziLab postdoc Veronica Bernhauerova is Vice Chair of the Department of Biophysics & Physical Chemistry. Veronika brought maths into our virology, and hopefully will bring more! portal.faf.cuni.cz/Groups/Mathe...

More high level sciencing with Marco Vignuzzi. My vortexing wrist is surprisingly weak, but I persevered. Watching Daryl set up 384-well qPCR.

PhD student Szarina is optimizing growth conditions for her work on Enterovirus D68. I’m her student today.

Somewhat paradoxically, #tinnitus (hearding sounds that are not there) is common in people suffering hearing loss. and affects the same sets of frequencies. Treatments are coming, from the understanding of loud-noise-fibre damage www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

morning Singapore! coffee comes from a roaster in Sumbawa Indonesia. 4 things on today’s agenda: -lab meeting to see how we’ve progressed this week -hair n beard trim -chat with French biotech Meletios about DVGs -chat between McGill University, Pasteur Paris & IDLabs to develop research program

Say hello to/start following @astar-idlabs.bsky.social the home of @vignuzzilab.bsky.social and @oehlerslab.org + more in the process of migrating across. Should we put together a starter pack like it's November 2024?

This is my office neighbor, @carissimolab.bsky.social Students and postdocs interested in arboviruses should consider his group. We often collaborate and he has a wide range of research interests, ASTAR ID Labs is growing…be part of it.

Today our budding proteomics team had an online master class with proteome experts of the Bouhaddou lab at UCLA. bouhaddoulab.org/our-team-3 Prof. Mehdi will visit ASTAR and give a seminar here for anyone interested, Feb 17. Thank you Mehdi and Shipra! Check out their lab:

Chinese New Year Brownies from Lucia Brownie Bar for the lab.

Thank you to NUS students and faculty, and to my lab, for joining me in today's seminar! It was my usual mix of research talk, and pep talk for the Millenials and Gen Zs on finding your place in your research.

Happy birthday to Peggy! Our lab administrator. With the rest of ID Labs admin group.

today's lab meeting: The trifecta of my virus families: Fish reports on her ideas on how to improve mRNA expression levels and how to best deliver saRNA vaccines, alphavirus stuff

We are thrilled to announce the 2nd Southeast Asia Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Symposium, taking place at the National University of Singapore on 28-29 August 2025.

Today at ASTAR , Dr. Jiang Wei, founder and CEO of Hongene Biotech presents their 30 years of work on RNA therapies. hongene.com

Happy new year to all! I had an amazing sailing tour of Komodo national park. Now back to the best job in the world! ❤️2025❤️

The third day of the Institut Pasteur of Dakar centennial focuses on Innovation. Opening remarks by Amadou Sall on the plans to build up the ecosystem. Many similarities with the missions of ASTAR.

Marie Angelique SENE head of the Vaccine Research Center presents an impressive talk on how Institut Pasteur de Dakar has created an autonomous cutting edge vaccine production AND R&D facility. World class. Run by a team of 50 members with average age of 31! Future is bright Senegal! 😎

Now starting. The 100th anniversary of Institut Pasteur of Dakar!
