Go T cells! Fantastic collaboration of my lab, Alessandro Sette and Prof. Shane Crotty La Jolla Institute. Do BTIs induce T cell imprinting? Our study shows the opposite: a boost in magnitude, quality and breadth including variant-specific novel responses. Shoutout at Alison Tarke P Tertuliano

I am grateful to be one of the winners of the Young Investigator Awards. it truly helped me to increase the visibility of my COVID work in my native country. The call for the 2024 awards is open, do not miss the opportunity to apply! ISSNAF

Very exciting and well deserved!!!

Fantastic collaboration and congratulations!!!

We are thrilled to welcome a new class of summer interns to the 2024 LJIdea Internship Program! Thank you to the supporters, mentors, and scientists who came to this morning's White Coat Ceremony at LJI! Let the research begin! #SanDiego #STEM #TeachSTEM #Science #Immunology

Major #ImmuneSystem discovery: Scientists capture immune cells hidden in nasal passages bit.ly/3WNnFX5 LJI researchers reveal how tissue resident memory cells stand ready to fight #SARSCoV2 infection in upper airway. Findings may guide #intranasal #vaccine development.

A primer in human upper airway immune memory: (1/7) The upper airway is the primary site of infection for many human pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria), but much less is known about long-lasting immune memory in the nose and associated tissue than blood.

LJI expert alert: San Diego scientists available to discuss mutated #mpox strain bit.ly/3SVI5Mj Alessandro Sette and Alba Grifoni are leading research to combat the rapidly spreading “clade 1” mpox virus. Their labs aim to guide #vaccine development as mpox cases rise.

#Mpox news: Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) are investigating how the mutated “clade 1” #mpox virus may affect children and older patients—and how new vaccines can help the body fight back bit.ly/3YWnsDE #SanDiego #VaccineResearch #Outbreak

Grazie Corriere della Sera per la fantastica intervista! Alessandro Sette e io discutiamo dei nostri progressi scientifici su Mpox. Mpox: nel laboratorio (californiano), guidato da due italiani, dove si studia un nuovo vaccino più efficace corriere.it/salute/24_agos…

Go T cells! Our new preprint is out, dream team at La Jolla Institute and way beyond (Florian Krammer and Rory de Vries) leveraging amazing @IEDB to help us predict how out T cells will behave if exposed to the new H5 Bird flu.

New on bioRxiv: #Influenza study from Alessandro Sette and Alba Grifoni suggests T cells may offer some protection in an H5N1 ‘spillover’ scenario bit.ly/3B5lfff #H5N1 #ImmuneSystem #Flu
