🔬🗞️ #NSERC IMPACT STORY Immunologists at McMaster University have discovered a previously unknown mechanism acting like a spider web, trapping and killing pathogens like influenza or #SARSCoV2, the virus responsible for #COVID19. ▶️ ow.ly/t5qa50FQ4JG McMaster IIDR Global Nexus

Exciting argument from McMaster Immunology for mucosal delivery of COVID-19 vaccinations 🥳

Pleased to share our groups review titled ‘the road toward transformative treatments for food allergy’ ☺️ frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Paying rent shouldn't be the hardest part of grad school. McMaster University presents grad students a cost of living in letters of admission that barely covers 8 months of average 1-bedroom rent in #HamOnt. It's time to #RaisetheFloor. Sign the open letter: raisethefloor.ca

Allergic diseases result from aberrant production of IgE antibodies against otherwise innocuous environmental antigens. Read a Rostrum on CD4+ T cells and T follicular helper cells. Could Tfh plasticity be harnessed for therapeutic benefit? bit.ly/3sSn1cd

I am grateful to work with so many fantastic #WomenInSTEM at McMaster Immunology

Would love to see Medical Sciences follow suit

We strongly believe that graduate students deserve to be fairly compensated to match inflation, as well as feel adequately supported by administration. To begin to combat this issue, we wrote a letter to our graduate program Medical Sciences

Emily Feng Despite my appointment in Medicine, I take almost all my graduate students through BBS because they have more staff support. I have also paid my MedSci students BBS rates. I have raised these (and other) concerns at the IQAP review of the MedSci. You're right to push for better.

Reservoirs of allergic memory dlvr.it/SlLy4X

Allyssa, a PhD candidate from the Jordana-Waserman Lab presents her fantastic research titled “Pathogenic IgE-fated B cell memory retains functional plasticity” #Perey2023

Very proud of my undergraduate student Allison on coming first in her first ever poster presentation 🥹

Thrilled to share a preprint from my PhD work on memory B cell plasticity in allergy. The persistence of IgE immunity critically relies upon MBCs. In this work, we show that the reservoir of allergen-specific MBCs can be reprogrammed away from an IgE fate!

Delighted to announce that our study is out on BioRxiv. I feel very fortunate to have been a co-first author on this project with Kelly Bruton

Cool science from our wonderful colleague’s lab and collaborators @JustinTaylorLab

Researchers with McMaster University Department of Medicine have discovered a new cell that remembers your allergies. @jfekoenig Kelly Bruton ALK Allyssa McMaster University ow.ly/ZIO950QyVUu

It’s out! Check out our work that defines a type 2-polarized memory B cell subset that drives IgE responses in humans.
