There is so much misinformation and fear-mongering around #COVID19 vaccines for pregnant and nursing women. A brilliant Yale MSTP student @Aliceluculligan and I wrote this OpEd to dispel these myths, and provide relevant facts. Please share widely.

Since the pandemic began, Prof. Akiko Iwasaki and her team have learned a lot about immunity to the virus by studying sex differences. “Age and sex are where immunological changes intersect,” she says.

I’m excited to announce that our paper showing how tumor draining lymph nodes contain a long-term, stable reservoir of anti-tumor CD8 T cells is now online at biorxiv. This is the beautiful work of Kelli Anne, a postdoc in the lab. Tweetorial:

Using both mouse and human brain tissue, researchers at Yale School of Medicine have discovered that #SARSCoV2 can directly infect the central nervous system and have begun to unravel some of the virus’s effects on brain cells (bit.ly/38BjLbA). Press release: bit.ly/3qbXrLD

What is the relevance of viral load in #COVID19 disease severity? A very talented Yale MSTP student Julio Silva found that saliva viral load to be a better predictor of disease than nasopharyngeal viral load. Here is a thread to explain the findings. (1/n)

Thanks, Immunoglitch, for highlighting our 'Deficiency in ADA2' (DADA2) report J Clinical Immunolog led by Joel Brooks and Andrew Rice Yale Department of Immunobiology. Many thanks also to collaborators Drs. Saquib Lakhani, Elif Dokmeci, Amy Cruickshank, Michael Hershfield, Jasmeen Dara, and others.

My lab and I have been thrilled to work with Prof. Akiko Iwasaki and her lab on this project. This is our first debut into systems immunology using a new platform we developed called REAP. We'll have a lot more to say about REAP soon, but please check out Akiko's 🔥 Tweetorial below

HELLO world!

I'm pleased to announce that our paper investigating the role of tumor neoantigens in driving responses by TFH cells is out in biorxiv. This is a collaboration with Joe Craft and is the brilliant work of @cancuiyale.
