Have you ever wondered what controls tissue residency in CD8 vs CD4 T cells? Find out today! Nature Immunology go.nature.com/3zCkJlI 🧵👇 Amazing teamwork Raissa Fonseca Tom Burn Doherty Institute 🧑🔬

I am looking for a research associate. Come join our team Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre in beautiful Vancouver to work on CAR T cell therapy! See more here: bcgsc.ca/careers/resear…

Very proud of Jolene Ranek as her task oriented benchmarking study for integrating RNA velocity and gene expression for trajectory inference and outcome prediction is out today in Genome Biology! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… . 🥳

Have you ever wondered if you could leverage RNA velocity data to better resolve biological trajectories or disease phenotypes? Delighted to share that our benchmarking study is out today in Genome Biology! Biggest thank you to Natalie Stanley Purvis Lab 😊 genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our new preprint is out! This was a collaborative work between us and Dr. D’Imperio Lima at Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas. Later today I will do a thread! T cell-specific P2RX7 favors lung parenchymal CD4+ T cell accumulation in response to severe lung infections biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So thankful for this honor! UNC Lineberger UNC Pancreas Center


Science Magazine Carolina Alves Costa Silva, MD, PhD Science Immunology Finally, Brandon Pratt & Justin Milner put these two exciting papers in context with an outstanding Science Magazine Perspective! bit.ly/Sci_adi3357


Here at UNC M&I, we're proud of our inspiring community of scientists who are changing the way we think about infections! We teamed with KathASK Films to provide an inside-look at how they do it. 📽️🔬 Full video: youtu.be/yHLFE7oTh7M and at med.unc.edu/microimm/ UNC School of Medicine

Happy to share that our story is out! Science Immunology Our study demonstrates that sustained CD28 signaling, is required to maintain PD-1+ CD8 T cells during chronic antigen stimulation (1/) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Paper alert from the Goldrath Lab 🚨 (Link at the end). 🧵 (1/10) >>

So pleased to announce that Justin Milner has earned our 2023-24 National Cancer Institute SPORE CEP Award for his project, "Molecular regulation of T cell activity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma." Congratulations, Dr. Milner, we're excited to watch your progress this year! UNC Lineberger


Congratulations Alec Plotkin for winning a best poster award at data science day for work predicting CD8 T-cell fates with Justin Milner :) Truthfully, this a picture from last week, but is the same poster. Great job Alec.


Thrilled to work with such talented and dedicated group of colleagues!! Der Lab at UNC Yeh Lab Bryant Lab UNC Justin Milner #adriennecox #ashwinsomasundaran #hjkim

Delighted to share that our feature selection method for improving inference of cellular trajectories is out today in Nature Communications! Biggest thank you to Natalie Stanley Purvis Lab @WStallaert Justin Milner + team 😊 Paper: rdcu.be/dCVZA . 🧵below.

Thrilled we were part of #KSTCells25 @KeystoneSymposia in Vancouver 🇨🇦 and reunited with T cell friends & colleagues! Huge thanks to co-organizers Amanda Lund Lab, Nik Joshi & Delgoffe Lab. We can’t wait for the next one!!
