Good morning! Today I'll be talking about #MassSpectrometry and how scientists use this method to look examine changes to huge numbers of the #proteins in your #cells to identify how

Here’s a summary of our latest work in @eLife. We have known for 85 y that Diet Restriction can extend lifespan - but how? We have used Drosophila to discover

Our study mapping #SARSCoV2 mutations that escape key therapeutic monoclonal antibodies is out in @ScienceMagazine. The study also shows that some of these escape mutations arise in a persistently infected
