The entire TWiV team visits The University of Texas in Austin to record episode #500 with guests Jinny Suh, Jason McLellan, and Jon Huibregtse. Jinny is the founder of Immunize Texas and she discusses her efforts to improve vaccine uptake in the state. Jason talks about his work using cryo-electron microscopy to understand how viruses enter cells at a molecular level and structure-based vaccine design. Jon is known for discovering that human papillomaviruses cause cancer by causing ubiquitination and degradation of a tumor suppressor protein. He discusses UBAIT, a method for finding cell proteins modified by ubuiquitination, and work on ISG15, an interferon induced protein that causes degradation of viral proteins, and which also binds to cell surface receptors leading to increased cytokine synthesis.

Hosts: Vincent Racaniello, Dickson Despommier, Alan Dove, Rich Condit, and Kathy Spindler
