The Galvan-Pena lab is hiring a postdoc! If you know of any PhD students who will graduate soon or recently graduated, and are interested in studying gut immunology and the systemic effects of the microbiome, please send them my way.

Also I have made the switch to where the sky is blue 🦋. It’s the same but better than here, so I encourage you to make the switch too if you haven’t already! @galvanpenas.bsky.social

Applications for undergraduate summer studentships Wellcome-Wolfson Institute Experimental Medicine are now open. We would love to host enthusiastic students from anywhere in the world in Belfast! 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🧪💊🌎 Details: qub.ac.uk/research-centr…

My wonderful postdoc mentor, Dennis Kasper, can rightly claim that he was studying the gut microbiome before it was cool. I have to settle for studying it while it is cool. Here's our concise review on the gut microbiome and cancer immunotherapy! jci.org/articles/view/…

If you want to “Make America Healthy Again,” one of the worst things you can do is slash the budget of the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health.

Lawyers for the government argued yesterday that the cap on NIH indirect costs would not cause “irreparable harm,”- Tell that to the grad students who would have been admitted at these places and the labs they would have joined! H/T Kyle Cheney docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

On my way home from a fantastic meeting. Feeling re-energised, with new ideas and ready to keep fighting for science. Congratulations to all the awardees! #kshostmicrobe25 #kshumanmicro25
