For MyD88 lovers... Out today! The first article out of Elba del Val's superb PhD thesis at Complutense. A small step for one woman, a big step for our research on yeast-based SynBio models to understand human innate immune signaling pathways! link.springer.com/10.1007/s00018…

Glad to share our open access nature paper. Congrats to the three first authors and thanks to everyone involved! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Out of our lab’s four sophomore undergrads from two summers ago, three are now married and one just got engaged. It’s striking how quickly young scientists are building families, despite academia rarely making room for that. The only woman in the group already stepped away from

The Ragon Institute congratulates faculty member Harikesh Wong, PhD, on receiving the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award — the NSF’s most prestigious honor for early-career faculty. Congratulations Dr. Wong!

Tenure track position alert! Assistant Professor of Molecular Therapeutics in MCB UC Berkeley. Apply and come be our colleague! 🎉 aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05098

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Carla Rothlin, incoming Director of CFI, on her election as Vice-President of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS)! A tremendous honor and a testament to her leadership in the global immunology community. 🌍🧪

A fun guy, studying immunity against fungi!

Excited to share that I’ve joined Yale School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor in @YalePathology & member of Yale Center for Research on Aging (Y-Age). The Langston Lab studies how the immune system regulates muscle function, exercise benefits & age-related decline. Follow langstonlab.substack.com for updates.

The Ragon Institute is deeply saddened by the passing of David Baltimore, PhD, a Nobel laureate who served as a co-chair of our SAB for many years and helped to set the scientific direction of our institutional research.

Thank you to Congressman Blake Moore for spending time today with @BeatMalaria to discuss the vital role Congress plays in the #malaria fight. With bipartisan US leadership & programs like U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), The Global Fund, @Gavi, UNICEF, NIH & CDC Global Health, we can #beatmalaria!

A new study led by investigators at the Kwon Lab and collaborators shows how energy use by gut immune cells can weaken the intestinal lining in people living with HIV, even when the virus is controlled by treatment. Read More: ragoninstitute.org/2025/09/kwon-l… #Immunology #HIV #AIDS

Excited to speak at NHMU’s Science Café next week! Come if you love #science, want to understand #immunity better, think #viruses & #parasites are cool, & want to hear how we learn from natural immune responses to better treat disease🦠 🗓️9/17, 6-8 PM bit.ly/4glb6LP
