It is always a great day when one of your students defends their doctoral thesis. Congrats @DGarshott, now Dr. Garshott!! So proud.

Excited to see that our review on evolutionary conflicts between viral proteases and the host immune system is out! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…. This was a great team effort, led by the fantastic Brian Tsu and Liz Fay, and an outstanding group of undergraduates in the lab.

Excited to share our 3-in-1 viral platform to capture receptor-ligand interaction and connect such communication with molecular phenotype at the single-cell level🥳 It's fulfilling to see "crazy" ideas end up to be a great platform as they often fail🤣 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ciao Giovanni Giovanni Galletti, you did great during your postdoc with us. And good luck with your new adventure Goldrath Lab. You deserve the official Lugli Lab coffee mug for long nights in the lab!

With great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Matthew Mescher. Matt retired in 2015 but continued to be a valued member of CFI. He will be sorely missed & fondly remembered for his leadership & contributions to science. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

How do CD8 T cells acclimate to long-lived residence in different tissues and program residence in specific tissues? Happy to see Max Heeg, Ty Crow and Amir Ferry's data hot off the press! nature.com/articles/s4159…

We're looking forward to next week's episode with Dr. Laura Mackay (Mackay Lab) from Doherty Institute! 📃 Read her lab's recent @BioRxivPreprint on the #epigenetic features of CD8+ tissue-resident memory #Tcells: bit.ly/3OT7IZs

Researchers led by the Goldrath Lab have developed an atlas of tissue-resident memory T cells in diverse tissue settings, boosting the prospects of new immune defense strategies to enhance immunity at vulnerable infection sites. Published in Nature Immunology. go.ucsd.edu/3nwnfTI

In today's NYTimes article on #poliovirus in NY, an expert is quoted as saying vaccinated people are protected against the virus. This is WRONG. They are not protected against infection. They are protected from getting paralysis. Vaccinated people may still get infected.

My Goddaughter is the only black starter for Dukes volleyball team. While playing yesterday, she was called a nigger every time she served. She was threatened by a white male that told her to watch her back going to the team bus. A police officer had to be put by their bench.

Dr. Sujan Shresta and colleagues at @LJIresearch and UC San Diego School of Medicine have found that #ZikaVirus forces dendritic cells to stop acting as immune cells and instead makes them churn out lipid molecules, which the virus uses to build copies of itself. 🖨️ 📌 go.nature.com/3S22892

Excited to announce that the UCSD Molecular Biology department is recruiting for a tenure track assistant professor! It's a wide open search and a chance to come join an amazingly supportive, creative and fun department in beautiful San Diego. Info below: apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF03378
