Top-Tier Health Sciences Papers of 2023!

Our 2023 publication in Nature Communications, which found that a human monoclonal antibody against Rift Valley fever virus protected mother and offspring from infection and vertical transmission, was selected as a Top-Tier Health Science paper for 2023 by the Senior Vice Chancellor’s office at Pitt Health Sciences!

Dr. Amy Hartman was invited to give a 10-minute lightning talk on our paper from 2023 titled A highly potent human neutralizing antibody prevents vertical transmission of Rift Valley fever virus in a rat model. This project was lead by Dr. Cindy McMillen, in collaboration with Drs. Nathanial Chapman (now at UNC) and James E. Crowe, Jr., at the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center.
