Delighted to share MMoCHi: an approach to multi-modal cell type classification from CITE-seq courtesy of the brilliant Daniel Caron. Another awesome collaboration with Donna Farber showcasing applications to human tissue immunology! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Two new studies from #ColumbiaMed researchers discovered why babies catch so many common respiratory infections compared with adults, but also why their bodies better cope with new pathogens. columbiamed.link/43Ar9xn

Welcome to the lab and Department Tomer Hertz @tomerhertz.bsky.social ! Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia University

Honored to be elected to the American Association of immunologists (AAI) council and looking forward to working with my colleagues in the years to come!

For everything you want to know about immune memory (and more!) we wrote this review as part of the “Guide to” series. With Nora Lam and YoonSeung Lee Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia University Columbia Medicine

A new #multiomics study shows that human #gdTCells differ in diversity and function across tissues over the lifespan. Donna Farber Columbia Medicine scim.ag/7fr

Our study on human γδ T cells in mucosal and lymphoid tissues revealed increased frequencies, distinct functions, subsets, and site-specific compartmentalization in children compared to adults. with Josh Gray . Thanks to collaborators Todd M. Brusko Thomas Connors Peter Sims Yosef Lab

We analyzed immune memory to COVID mRNA vaccines across human tissues and found durable persistence of T cell memory in lymphoid organs and lungs with enhanced regulatory functions compared to blood. Julia Davis-Porada collaboration with Peter Sims Teijaro Lab @columbia_MI

The proposed cuts to NIH in the Big Bogus Bill will be devastating for the future of biomedical research in the US.

This is a highly informative, well-researched piece on 2500 NIH grants that were terminated or delayed (i.e. frozen) under the current administration and the deleterious impact to the study and prevention of chronic and infectious diseases. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
