We are strangely moved to be back home in Chicago after so long. Looking forward to a great time reconnecting with colleagues at #AAI2024

Swag!

New study from us! 😀 Using quantitative proteomics led by Jin Li, we found evidence for mitochondrial protein misfolding in human islets in T2D that led us on our first journey into proteostasis! Feedback desired and appreciated! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Glad to share our recent work on the reprogramming of resolving monocytes capable of inter-cellular propagation of immune-homeostasis and reducing atherosclerosis. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Really cool paper on the effects of SCFA with macrophage inflammation.
