Thrilled about the new 4DCP initiative at Janelia and they could not have selected a better person to lead it! Congrats to JLS (Lippincott-Schwartz Lab). I'm looking forward to the many cool discoveries that will come from this program.

๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿฆ  T-cell Team work! Often, we observe that one T cell alone cannot kill a cancer cell. In vivo, many T cells โ€œwork togetherโ€ to destroy these threats. This post from Genentech highlights an example of this observation. Check out the link in the last post on the thread! ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ”ฌ

I'm excited to share that I will be joining the team of Hana El-Samad Altos Labs to contribute to the goal of programming cellular rejuvenation to restore cell health and resilience. How can we modulate or engineer the immune system to aid in this effort?

This is one of my favorite papers of the year. Very unexpected emergent properties from a seemingly simple system. The videos are incredible! Congrats to the authors Scott Coyle, Rohith Rajasekaran et al.
