‼️Congratulations to Gardner Lab and @ScharschmidtLab on their 250K Kenneth Rainin Foundation Innovator Award, “Pioneering single-cell intracellular metagenomics” - marking an exciting collaboration between UC San Francisco Dermatology and UCSF Surgery, facilitated through UCSF Bakar ImmunoX Initiative🥳🥳

We’ve known about tolerant CD8+ T cells for >25 yrs – but what are these cells?! Prematurely exhausted, stalled effectors, or something else? Our latest Immunity paper takes a deep dive into this question with some unexpected results, including a link to cancer… (1/)

How similar is the🐠 fish brain to the🐁 mammalian brain? Are there any conserved cell-types or brain regions🧠? Our new article, explores these questions through detailed analysis of gene expression in the fish brain and other vertebrates. rdcu.be/dIA51 Communications Biology

Proud to have been a small part of this fundamental immunology project! 🥳🧑‍🔬 Huge implications for immunotherapy! Big props to my supervisor Ian Parish for crafting and leading this curiosity-driven research to success. 🫡 Check out our paper (and Ian's explainer) below! 👇

Delighted to share our new work Jameson Hogquist labs CFI-UMN on cytokine regulation of homeostatic memory CD8 T cells biorxiv.org/content/10.110… tl;dr homeostatic circulating and resident memory CD8 T cells are resilient to loss of IL-7Rα (surprise!) Please RT Thread follows

Congratulations @SaraSuliman13 and co on this interesting work! This work identifies fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) as a candidate host factor involved in TB progression. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

DARE Family Photo 📸This year, our Annual DARE Meeting was held in San Francisco at UC San Francisco. We had an amazing time catching up with collaborators and discussing our scientific discoveries.

Our mechanistic review of #LongCovid - published in Cell - hopefully will be helpful coming out of the very inspiring RECOVER-Treating Long COVID meeting this week. Excited for the progress we will make together in the next year! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What a week with two publications from our lab! Spatial microniches of IL-2 drive lung migratory Th2 cells to allergens in NI & a review on Systems Immunology Approaches to studying T cells in npj Systems Biology. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to announce our latest publication in Science Magazine describing a reverse-translation study that defines the core regulators of T cell stemness that can be exploited to improve immunotherapy!
