Here's our latest pre-print! We tested spatial transcriptomics with near single-cell resolution for mapping T helper cell activation & cell-cell interactions in the spleen, a tissue densely packed with tens of cell-types/states. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (Tech Available @Curiobio)

Here's our next pre-print, on how CD4+ T cells respond during malaria re-infection. GC Tfh cells (red beads in cyan GCs depicted by Slide-seqv2) were refractory; Th1 clones responded dramatically. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Prasanna Jagannathan Fei Chen Lab Doherty Institute UniMelb MDHS

Natural killer cells: Warriors against #malaria. Highlight of Science Translational Medicine papers by Dennis odera Faith Osier AND Prasanna Jagannathan reporting CD56neg natural killer cells & antibody-dependent #NKcells exhibit greater functionality during #Plasmodium infection. cell.com/cell-host-micr…

For #WorldMalariaDay we present the third drawing in the #SketchWiM series to increase the visibility of #WomenInSTEM 👩🏿‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬👩🏾‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬 Reach out if you want to nominate a WiM for the series! Drawing by Sophia Hernandez & Thorey Jonsdottir #malaria #WomenInScience

What a fun surprise today! Thank you Women In Malaria Sophia Hernandez and Thorey Jonsdottir for including me in the #SketchWiM series! My daughters were so excited!

Incredible and important work NEJM on spread of partial artemisinin resistance against malaria in Uganda. Congrats to the impressive scientific team, including Dr Melissa Conrad and UCSF HIVIDGM investigators!

After many twists and turns, we are happy to share our work on the use of #CRISPR screens to uncover cancer pathways that modulate the interactions between #gdTcells and cancer cells! The data took us on an amazing journey.🧵@MarsonLab @forum_gd 1/ rdcu.be/dkMza

Meet Julio - a Labor Studies graduate from UCLA. Julio’s research interest in immunology was sparked by a recent personal diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease. His life goal is to advocate for marginalized communities, especially those prone to developing chronic illnesses.

New study shows the negative impact of #Mycoplasma genitalium infection in #pregnancy on the growth of babies. Reduced birthweight of babies is one of the biggest risk factors for early infant death. Burnet Institute cell.com/med/fulltext/S…

Loved working with @DrMichelleBoyle and Chris Engwerda on this! Thanks to Phil, Francis, and Tuan as well!

Thank you to The Lancet Infectious Diseases for featuring my research and early career in infectious diseases and public health. Check it out! thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Adaptive immune regulation of innate immunity ✨ the paradigm has been innate immune regulation of adaptive immunity but the relationship is bidirectional. So much to discover and learn here. cell.com/immunity/fullt…

A huge congratulations 🥳🎊 to Jason Nideffer for successfully defending his thesis today on "The Pediatric CD4+ T Cell Response to Malaria.” #PhD #thesisdefense #StanfordImmunology

1/ What determines the length of gestation? My graduate work out today in Cell revealed that the answer to this mystery may lie in a molecular timer set in motion just days after conception. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

This World Malaria Day, I am happy to share our new paper on the pediatric CD4+ T cell response to malaria. We followed individual T cell clones through repeated infections and found lots of cool stuff!
