I am excited to share the last paper from my PhD with @virusimmunity. Here we present TIINDRR (Tumor Immune Non-Biased Discovery Retroviral Reporter). (short thread) 1/ pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

While I was away at a faseb meeting last week, my former mentor Lewis Lanier came to NYC and took my postdocs Adriana Mujal Simon Grassmann 草人西蒙 (learning Mandarin ;)) Dr Becs out for a nice dinner! What an amazing and wonderful #scientificgrandpa

Huge congrats to my colleague Andrea Schietinger The SchietiLab on her well deserved promotion to FULL member at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center! So special to have her former mentor Phil Greenberg be in town for the celebration. We had to a snap a UW Department of Immunology reunion photo!

Immuno… artists? Adriana Mujal endi s Dr Becs Celeste Dang Simon Grassmann 草人西蒙 (learning Mandarin ;)) Mariah Lee Jennifer Tsai unleashing their hidden talent and artistic creativity! Thanks to Dr. Ushma Neill dana_peer MSK ScienceEducation for helping us kick off 2024 with some flair at Paint 'N Pour! #MSKFunFund

Congrats to Sam Sheppard (now back in London at Imperial College) on this final paper from our lab where he identifies a critical role for the enzyme CPT1A and fatty acid oxidation in the function of natural killer cells! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Wonderful promotions talk by IMP faculty member Gretchen Diehl TheDiehlLab on how the microbiome impacts gut immunity… in front of a packed auditorium! Congratulations Gretchen!! Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Happy 20th Anniversary Kaech lab!! Cheers to an amazing group of scientists who are also a lot of fun!! ⁦Salk Institute⁩

"Discovering adaptive features of innate immune memory" In this review with super talented Mina Sadeghi we discuss how evolutionary, mitochondria and cellular metabolism along with diverse signaling pathways shape innate memory responses. doi.org/10.1111/imr.13…

I am excited to share our paper in nature! Yisu Gu Raquel Bartolomé-Casado Teichlab The Powrie Lab and I collaborated across Wellcome Sanger Institute University of Oxford Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology and Nuffield Department of Medicine. We wanted to understand where and how Tregs in the gut become their best selves. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/12

check out our review discussing immune diversity through the lens of evolutionary biology! we argue that past selection underlies variation in disease risk across populations and offer new avenues to pursue that couple empirical and genomics approaches shorturl.at/ghMO9

Lots of great science and fun at this year’s GSK Graduate School retreat at the snow-covered Mohonk Mountain House! Beautiful hike with TheDiehlLab Jayanta Chaudhuri@MSKCC Tuomas Tammela Thomas Vierbuchen … followed by Jay at the bench performing an experiment! 😉 Where are you The SchietiLab??

NK cells were first described five decades ago and named in 1975. This brief Perspective from Lewis Lanier UC San Francisco highlights a timeline of a few selected advancements in NK cell biology in each decade. hubs.la/Q02zRMB70 🎥 See video summary: hubs.la/Q02zRKh80

Thrilled to have this story out online Immunity!! Together with Joseph Sun Lab, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵cell.com/immunity/fullt…

Also, huge thanks to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for highlighting our study! Joseph Sun Lab and I are huge NK cell fans (in case you didn't realize 😉) and were thrilled to chat all things fasting and NK cell anti-tumor biology! #NKcell #tumorimmunity mskcc.org/news/fasting-p…

We kicked off the school year by welcoming our new incoming graduate school class of 2024 with a fun BBQ dinner - hosted by our 2nd year IMP students! Glad to have Izzy, Riley, Kasra, Andrew, Bella, and Cristian join the IMP program! (photo with program directors Joe and Theresa)

Excited to see our story showing that the #stressresponse regulator #HSF1 modulates NK cell anti-tumour immunity out in ⁦Nature Cell Biology⁩. Thanks to fantastic work with ⁦Nikos Kourtis⁩ ⁦Iannis Aifantis⁩ and team ⁦NYU Langone Health⁩ 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4155…
