This July some of our lab members had the pleasure of attending and presenting their work at the American Society for Virology 2026! The annual meeting was hosted by the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis this year. We’ve been all over the country and world so far in 2026!
Our IDM PhD candidate Elon Holmes presented a poster on some of her work on RVFV infection during pregnancy using human trophoblast stem cells as an in vitro model for vertical transmission.
Our newly graduated Dr. Austin Hertel also presented his work on maternal vaccination as a protective measure against in utero transmission of RVFV in rats! He gave a talk comprising of lots of work from his recent publication in mBio. We are incredibly proud of our strong Hartman lab representation at ASV this year! Great work Elon and Austin! I wonder where our brilliant young scientists will be presenting next…
