Out in Immunity today! My preview of a recent study from Zhu and colleagues (cell.com/immunity/fullt…) identifying Nur77 as a cytosolic sensor of LPS and mitochondrial DNA involved in NLRP3 activation. authors.elsevier.com/a/1guwb3qNrUu3…

Congratulations to Orzalli lab graduate students Jenny and Jafira for passing their Qualifying Exams! Excited to see where their projects take them over the next couple of years.

On my way to DC for #AAI2023. Looking forward to sharing our work on inflammasomes in cutaneous antiviral defense tomorrow during Major Symposium B. Come say hi!

Thank you to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Department of Microbiology for hosting me today for a visit/seminar. Had a great time sharing our work and getting to talk science with the faculty and trainees!

On my way to #IHW2023...but likely going to get stuck in SLC tonight after a 3 hr delay on the tarmac in BOS. Hopefully won't miss too much of the Satellite sessions tomorrow.

Honored to have been selected for this award. It has been a true joy mentoring the students in my lab as they pursue their PhD studies!

Congratulations to Orzalli Lab MD/PhD student Jenny Powers on her outstanding F30 score! If paylines stay the same in FY25 (fingers crossed) her grant will likely be funded! UMass Chan Program in Innate Immunity

Our August issue is out! hubs.la/Q02JTSw30. The cover shows HSV-1 infection inhibiting ASC speck formation in an A549 cell line. ASC-GFP is in green, ICP0 from HSV-1 is in red, & cell nuclei are in blue. From Pooja Parameswaran Megan Orzalli et al. hubs.la/Q02JTy5C0

SARM - an enzymatic TIR protein. Perhaps the most ancient immune regulator in the Tree of Life and the origins of innate immunity itself. But, is it an immune sensor in animals?
