Pumpkin carving...with the pulm consult team 🎃👻👩🏻‍⚕️

Feel like I’m waiting for critical lab value to come back and refreshing the screen over and over except Pennsylvania apparently was a send out lab. #electionanxiety

So thrilled to share that I matched at BWH for IM residency! I’m excited for this next chapter in Boston with Maxim Markovic. It takes a village-I’m so thankful for the unrelenting support from my Stanford mentors, my parents and siblings Layla Barkal, MD PhD. #Match2021 Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents

Congratulations to Drs. Ramon Ramirez (2nd year) and Shaun Pienkos (1st year) on their recent publication, “Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Secondary to Drugs and Toxins,” which was published in Clinics in Chest Medicine.

Not an infrequent occurrence at Stanford: an all female ICU team! Featuring Drs. Andrea Jonas (Associate PD; 2nd from right) and Layla Barkal (2nd year fellow; 3rd from right). #WomenInMedicine #WomenInMedicineMonth

Thrilled to have the opportunity to virtually share some our work targeting macrophages for cancer immunotherapy at the Cambridge Healthtech Institute Immuno-oncology Summit. Excited to boost macrophage appetites by targeting CD24, CD47, and more. #macrophages #hungry #immunotherapy #doubledocs

Learn more about Phage Therapy🦠 this Tuesday, Oct 12 4pm ET. This PINE event will be presented by Dr. Gail Stanley & Dr. Jon Koff Yale PCCSM & moderated by Layla Barkal, MD PhD Stanford Medicine. Experts: Dr. Graham Hatfull (UPitt), Dr. Constance Benson (UCSD). thoracic.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

I am so excited to announce the launch of Pheast Therapeutics, an immuno-oncology company stemming from my PhD thesis work in Irv Weissman’s lab at Stanford Medicine. Pheast is focused on developing treatments to unleash the full potential of macrophages in the fight against cancer. 1/7

I am so proud of the hard work and dedication from Amira Barkal, MD/PhD to get Pheast Therapeutics to this milestone! Can't wait to see how anti-CD24 therapy can help cancer patients, especially those with women's cancers.

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent immune response against a distant tumor. Y. Erin Chen, MD PhD led the charge w/ help from Djenet Bousbaine, Alessandra Veinbachs, Belkaid Lab. Science Magazine 1/26 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to see my postdoctoral work published Science Magazine! We know that certain commensal bacteria stimulate T cells upon colonization. We wondered, what are these T cells capable of? 1/5 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Today we report a detailed map of interactions between the immune system and the gut microbiome. Kazuki Nagashima led the charge w/ help from Aishan Zhao and Kat Atabakhsh. nature 1/40 nature.com/articles/s4158…
