Bit by a tick in the last 4 weeks? Got #Lyme and can get to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)? We need your help to understand how to predict (early in the infection) who is going to bounce right back from infection and who will go on to experience prolonged suffering. talresearchgroup.mit.edu/mitmaestro

Has anyone tried to deplete pDCs with anti-BST2 (clone 927) or macs/monos with anti-F4/80 (clone CI:A3-1)? BioXcell says they are both depletion antibodies, and they provide references. But very few papers show depletion. We tried both. The BST2 a little…

Awesome paper with a super cool (and straightforward!) technique for tracking immune cell migration! Congrats!

"I mean, it's one grant, Michael. What could it take, three hours?"

Our paper describing in vitro resident memory T cell differentiation in an epithelial organoid model is out at Cell Reports doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…. If you are excited about T cells and reproductive mucosa, we are looking for postdocs-apply.interfolio.com/145385

Another great paper from a CFI alum!! 👏👏

New paper out nature - why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? sex chromosomes or hormones? Here we studied adaptation of human immune systems to gender-affirming

Hello new and current graduate students! Today's phrase of the day is "unlearn your hyper-independence" Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Grad school is hard, but not reaching out when you need help (many categories here) will make it impossible. Use your community.

A student asked me a question: I am sometimes told that it is “easier” for me in STEM as a student from an UR background because of all the grants available to me. How do I respond to this? I wanted to expand on my answer a bit here…

To celebrate the ImmunOctoberfest meeting this week in #Munich, Science Immunology has released a sample collection of papers in the fields of #TCell #differentiation & T cell #immunotherapy! Articles are free online to read until the end of Oct 2024! bit.ly/SciImm_free

Excited for the Keystone Symposium on T Cell Differentiation in Tissue Microenvironments. #KSTCells25 Submit your abstract by Nov 5th for a chance of being selected for a short talk! Joint meeting w Innate Memory Keystone! keysym.us/KSTCells25

I'm so excited to be co-running this Keystone Symposia! We'll be hearing some titans of T cell immunology talking about differentiation in tissues! Abstracts are due November 5th! Put one in and come have a great time with us! #KSTCells25 keysym.us/KSTCells25

Thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab at UMass Chan Program in Innate Immunity ! It is only possible with the support of extraordinary mentors Kaechlab (Sue Kaech) at Salk Institute and B Rouse at UT Knoxville. Will be hiring at all levels to study tissue-specific immune metabolism. #varanasilab
