Thank you to everyone who joined us this week in celebrating the 2024 Tullie and Rickey Families SPARK Awards for Innovations in Immunology! This year's winners are shaping the future of #immunology research! #SPARKAwards #LifeWithoutDisease

The lab website is LIVE - reinalab.org La Jolla Institute 🧑‍🍳🧫

“So often, stories about disease are focused on the negative,” says Ellenbogen. “But her story is really a story of modern medicine and basic research leading to treatments for people—that let them live the life that they want to live.”

News: LJI research points to ‘stem-like’ T cells as culprits in ulcerative colitis: bit.ly/3z9yxGn “These cells may be a very important target for treating ulcerative colitis and perhaps other autoimmune diseases." #Autoimmunity #Inflammation #UlcerativeColitis

A terrific resource! Check it out!

Excited to share many years of work trying to understand how to promote CD8+ T cell memory cells to improve vaccine protection

🔬Discover the diversity of TRM with us! Check out our latest Annual Reviews with Susan Christo, Simone Park & Scott Mueller to read about TRM in health & disease and how we can harness them for immunotherapy 🧬💉 #TRMazing #TeamTrm Doherty Institute UniMelb MDHS bit.ly/ChristoARI

Hello everyone~ Our paper was published in Dev Cell 🎉 cell.com/developmental-… See these firework patterns? These are *your* immune cells. Every day little foot soldiers called neutrophils work together to coordinate and attack pathogens in your body to keep you safe!

Livia Iacobelli joined the Salk Internship program to deliver a Q&A regarding college and STEM alongside other panelists. - Proud of her! reinalab.org/lab-matters

Super impressed with 10x Genomics updates to the overall user experience! from designing panels to browsing the data... really cool stuff coming up - cannot wait to share some of the data

My little sis is a trailblazer! Better watch out 😁

Many new developments in the Reina Lab La Jolla Institute We bid farewell to Livia as she went back to Johns Hopkins, graduated Kelly from her PATHS internship, welcomed Johan from the Instituto Politecnico Nacional and Vida from UCSD - this and more at reinalab.org/lab-matters

T cell diversity - separating facts from fiction. I am super excited to host local-global leaders in the field of T cell immunology at the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften on Dec 2 2024. Participation is free and open for everyone. More information and registration here: badw.de/veranstaltunge…

Excited to be part of the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology PhD program at UC San Diego - Using Spatial Omics in immunology research requires a new combination of computational, imaging, and wet lab skills - we need YOU! Please reach out

Exceptional research applied to one of the most pressing health needs of the decade - avoiding further tissue damage after covid and preventing long covid

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
