Five Years of CViSB News

Five Years of CViSB

CViSB is 5 years old as of this February! Looking back, we have made significant strides toward our goal of identifying the human and viral factors that determine the outcome of infection with Lassa, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2 viruses.  CViSB’s multi-disciplinary team has collected clinical, immunological, and genomic data, combined multi-omics technologies  and applied high-throughput (HTP) experiments to our unique patient…

NIAID’s Data Dissemination Working Group aims to open biomedical data to the world

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the research community has responded by sharing an unprecedented amount of data publicly, including millions of SARS-CoV-2 sequences, protein crystal structures, and in vitro assays which have allowed us to rapidly develop new diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines. Despite the widespread enthusiasm of the research community to share data publicly, however, disseminating and finding…

Two new papers demonstrate use of Outbreak.info as one-stop online source for COVID data

While COVID-19 may be transitioning from a “pandemic” to an “endemic” phase, it remains critically important to continue tracking the virus in real-time. In two new papers published in Nature Methods on Feb. 23, 2023, scientists at Scripps Research demonstrate the use of Outbreak.info as a standardized, searchable source of information on the COVID-19 virus and its many variants. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began,…

Launch of outbreak.info variant tracking

The Center for Viral Systems Biology (CViSB) at Scripps Research is tracking the prevalence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic—and making this information publicly available to drive global research efforts. The daily situation reports appear on Outbreak.info, a website created by the same team in early 2020, shortly after the emergence of COVID-19. The new reports add to the website’s…

Systems Biology Workshop Workshop

Systems Biology Workshop

We are pleased to announce the 2nd annual CViSB Systems Biology workshop February 24-26, 2020 in La Jolla, CA. This two-and-a-half day workshop will emphasize computational systems biology approaches to improved understanding of host response to viral infection, across a spectrum of methods and applications.  Among topics discussed in the presentations will be included: evolution of virus and host immune…

CViSB Year in Review vhfcNews

CViSB Year in Review

The first year of CViSB has been a busy one. Receiving the NIH grant in February, 2018 prompted the onboarding of new scientists, research trips to West Africa, and a myriad of planning and coordination meetings. Samples from over 250 Lassa and Ebola patients were collected during trips to Kenema Government Hospital (KGH). The samples will be used to generate…

Can humans produce a quintillion antibodies?

An analysis by CViSB scientists at Scripps Research of billions of distinct antibody-producing immune cells sampled from human volunteers indicates that the human antibody “repertoire” is far larger than was once thought. The finding, reported online on January 21 in Nature, suggests that humans may be capable of producing as many as 10^18, or one quintillion, distinct antibodies. The study…

SysBio workshop

We are pleased to announce the first annual CViSB Systems Biology workshop February 20-22, 2019 in La Jolla, CA. The workshop will focus on viral systems biology and the application of phylogenetic methods on the study of viruses. In addition, participants will hear from expert science communicators about the importance of effectively conveying scientific findings to the public. Leading infectious…
