Lyme disease makes its debut at the Microphysiological Systems World Summit, Seattle. Yes, TLR1 polymorphism has an effect in our vascularized Borrelia infection model….and yes, you should be worried about ticks! Michal Tal, PhD will agree
Several co-leaders of MIT’s LGBTQ+ grad group - including our own Miranda Dawson - recently interviewed queer MIT faculty and discussed their own experiences and the importance of visibility in academia in a new video, “Scientific InQueery.” 🌈 youtu.be/4brzPow-8YQ?si…
By designing new tools that can analyze huge libraries of immune cells and their targets, Michael Birnbaum hopes to generate better T cell therapies for cancer and other diseases. ow.ly/1R0g50Ss1rM
Super excited to start a new chapter at MIT Dept of BE with the ASHansen Lab!
An avid artist, BE doctoral candidate David Kastner produces beautiful 3D illustrations of molecular systems that help make his research more accessible to a wider audience. news.mit.edu/2024/david-kas… the Kulik Group
Head of MIT Dept of BE, Christopher Voigt, is using synthetic biology to supply agricultural plants with the nitrogen they need to grow and flourish. This method, an alternative to artificial fertilizers, will help grow crops with lower emissions. betterworld.mit.edu/spectrum/issue…
In a new Nature Immunology paper, ASPIRE awardees Darrell Irvine & Dane Wittrup of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) show that tethering cytokines to a CD45-targeting antibody eradicates tumors without toxicity, overcoming the limitations of traditional cytokine therapies. nature.com/articles/s4159…
David Kastner, a fourth-year PhD student in MIT Dept of BE, is studying a challenging subset of proteins known as metalloenzymes. He also produces beautiful 3D illustrations of molecular systems that help make his research accessible to a wider audience. news.mit.edu/2024/david-kas…
