LJI's newest faculty member, Dr. Tal Einav, shows how #MachineLearning can advance #VaccineResearch. A great example of the power of #CompBio in immunology.

An important look at #pertussis and vaccine efficacy. Kudos to Alessandro Sette, Ricardo Da Silva Antunes and the talented team at LJI's John and Susan Major Center for Clinical Investigation!

Congratulations to Dr. Rinkesh Gupta, the first recipient of the new Michael Croft Fellowship in Immunology #Immunology #LaJolla #ImmuneSystem #Asthma #Ezcema #Allergy

Congrats to La Jolla Institute's new Chief Scientific Officer! I'm looking forward to partnering with Shane to build LJI's future #Immunology #Health

Very interesting work from La Jolla Institute's Drs. Cheroutre, Kronenberg and Myers (Samuel A Myers) on a process that turns T cells into fighters #InfectiousDisease #Immunology #Tcells

Dr. Grifoni's lab is doing insightful work La Jolla Institute Her #Tcell research changes how we think about immune responses to #SARSCoV2 and other deadly viruses #SanDiego #Immunology

LJI is truly a #compbio powerhouse. Learn how Assistant Professor Tal Einav uses immune cell data to predict how different groups (kids, seniors, men, women) may react to infectious diseases or new vaccines: bit.ly/3PS4LL9 #DataScience #VaccineResearch

Absolutely beautiful #Ebola cryoET on infected and transfected cells with surprising insights. The most satisfying thing, after 20 years in this field, is how early biochemical puzzles are now fitting together Reika Watanabe La Jolla Institute

Under joint 🤝 leadership of Drs. Vijayanand & Ganesan, La Jolla Institute researchers identified #neoantigens in pediatric #BrainTumors and showed that neoantigen-specific T cell gene signatures are linked to better survival outcomes. 🔗 go.nature.com/3S88xRv

I'm thrilled to welcome Miguel Reina-Campos, Ph.D. (Miguel Reina-Campos) to the La Jolla Institute faculty! His #Tcell research has enormous potential for improving #cancer #immunotherapy and more bit.ly/49WrgXs

A great collaboration with UC San Diego and UC San Diego Health Moores Cancer Center

Fun fact, this is me in Barcelona - summer of 2014 - showing off a freebie Lara Labarta-Bajo, PhD got me from her new job with the Schoenberger lab La Jolla Institute

Thank you Dr. Wezgryn ⁦Renee Wegrzyn⁩ for your comments at the Women’s Health Action Matters Forum. Yes, we can effect the needed changes for Women’s health in #3not30 years. The faculty of ⁦La Jolla Institute⁩ and the nation are behind you, ⁦ARPA-H⁩ and ⁦WHAMnow⁩

My kid just committed to a college in Boston. I’m now accepting any and all seminar trips to Boston for the next four years!

We preset an approach to test phosphorylation site function in high throughput. Like phenotypic CRISPR screens but instead of knocking out a gene, we mutate specific codons with base editors so the resultant protein cannot get phosphorylated that site.

LJI Asst Prof Sam Myers shows how to screen 1000s of post-trans mods to explore biochem pathways and circuits at scale - here, to explore T cell activation. Am beaming with pride at our new recruit and all he is building. Samuel A Myers La Jolla Institute

Biomedical faculty search committees, what would you rather have, a candidate with a K99/R00 or a candidate with a career award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund? A talented physician scientist here has won both, but must give one up. A good problem to have - but which to give up?

It was an honor to be recognized w/the 2023 Pantheon Award - I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the life sciences and inspire future innovators. As I pass the torch, I encourage you to nominate the next trailblazers here: bit.ly/3YaDBom #PantheonAwards
