NEJM Mihalis Lionakis Brilliant & seminal study that redefines the pathophysiology of APECED. By understanding the basis of fungal disease susceptibility Mihalis Lionakis found the true culprit - IFN-gamma - that underlies autoimmunity in these patients. A triumph of grit and perseverance. Chapeau!!

Great overview of the mucosal complement by @kulkarnilab . Local complement activation and modulation in mucosal immunity sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out our new preprint "Non-canonical IL-22 receptor signaling remodels the mucosal barrier during fungal immunosurveillance". Thanks to my collaborators Mihalis Lionakis @slg1717 @Jendzjowsky #Filler-lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/3 Excited to share our new paper led by Sebastian Ochoa & Amy Hsu at Science Translational Medicine in which we found a deep intronic AIRE variant that causes inclusion of a frame-shifting pseudoexon that impairs AIRE function and explains APECED in ~15% of our cohort science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share results of our fun collaboration with Neeraj Chauhan and Anuradha Chaudhary; led by the talented research associate Raju in the lab, where we describe roles for a Candida auris MAP kinase in skin colonization | journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Thanks NIAID News for highlighting our work!

Our recent study out today in PLOS Pathogens identified cell type specific immune responses to Candida auris skin infection using single cell transcriptomics. Thank you Mihalis Lionakis, Mihai Netea and Vinod for collaborating in this study ! journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Fun to write this review on Candida auris infections NEJM with Anuradha Chowdhary! Thanks Anu! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share the results of our 8-year-long expedition into the Wild, the city of #NYC , the wild west of #LosAngelesCA , and more—in search of the roots of gut fungal commensalism! 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…
