.Michael Bale, MSc 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇷 got a whirlwind tour of chromatin science this week and had a great time presenting his work with the ImmGen Consortium this week at EpiCypher, Inc. #Epi2023! Doing the Immunology & Microbial Pathogenesis (IMP) Program program proud!

Team ImmGen having a blast!!

Anyone at the current Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Single Cell analyses meeting interested in multi-omic analysis of hematopoietic stem cells in the context of BCG-treatment for bladder cancer should go find Lucy tonight at her poster!!!

Two other conferences last week both with Immunology & Microbial Pathogenesis (IMP) Program student Andrew Daman and ou scGuru Lucy presenting separate arms of our BCG story (coming soon™️) at FASEB and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meetings respectively! …we‘ll just ignore they’re both bad at acquire pics! ;)

A fantastic @ImmGen_ workshop this year! Always a great time seeing Michael Keogh and the EpiCypher, Inc. team!

This time I remembered to send Alli the pictures too (: 😅

Big day for harvesting macrophages in the lab! Senior grad students and rotation students all ChIP-ing in!

Triple whammy of JLab talks recently with Andrew, Chenyang, and Michael all giving their dept rips! Andrew: mechanisms of why BCG is used as a bladder cancer treatment Chenyang: IKKa’s role in stimulation-induced transcription Michael: our ongoing ImmGen cut&run efforts !

followed by amazing Josefowicz Lab on inflammatory memory in COVId and tumor immunotherapy. A new frontier to enhance anti tumor immunity!

PhD alert! Exceedingly proud to announce that Andrew Daman has successfully passed his defense and is now Dr. Andrew Daman! Congrats on a fantastic dissertation and phenomenal PhD career! We all know you’ll do great things!

Capped off a fantastic day yesterday with everyone

Check out the latest issue of Immunological Reviews on innate immunity (with an adaptive twist!) where Josefowicz Lab and I convinced a bunch of talented colleagues to contribute. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1600065x/2…

Hey! Go check out some of what me and Dughan (among many friends) have been working in ImmGen! Many thanks to all involved from data collection to curation and analysis! Josefowicz Lab Jason Buenrostro Sara Mostafavi And if any Immunology & Microbial Pathogenesis (IMP) Program remember my RIP - this is all that data!

Had a great time presenting our work on antiviral innate immune memory! Thanks to HFSP for the opportunity and support of this project! Link to the initial version of the manuscript: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 A huge shout out to our 1st year IMP students for completing their final lab rotation talks and making it through their first year as PhD students! Here's to many more breakthroughs ahead!🌟 Some 1st years pictured here with our amazing IMP Directors!

Great talk from Alexia at the nyc chromatin club symposium today!!

Very satisfying to learn that your former PhD students are doing well! With Alexia Martinez de Paz Alexia Martinez de Paz 🍉, now a Weill Cornell Medicine Weill Cornell Medicine Pathology Instructor in Josefowicz Lab. Interesting finding submitted soon!

Hey #PhDChat #epigenetics and all other interested parties! Crowdsourcing some opinions - See SS below.

Yay! Our paper on homeostatic #macrophage programming by #glucocorticoids and #IL4 in collaboration with Josefowicz Lab is finally out Nature Communications this weekend! Congrats and thanks to all involved!! nature.com/articles/s4146…

So much exciting #Science presented by Immunology & Microbial Pathogenesis (IMP) Program 1st yr #immunology grad students today! Congrats to Reily Outen, Catherine Somoza, Kasra Askari, Izzy Johnson & Andrew Lim wrapping their rotations in Hanash, Niec, Iliev, Vardhana & Li labs, respectively!
