Flu virus infections can cause life-threatening lung damage in some patients. Our researchers helped create a new drug that gives promise for treating patients with advanced infections and potentially saving lives. Read more from Paul G Thomas in nature. bit.ly/3JbNfye

How can we balance the necessary function of the immune system in clearing virally-infected cells with keeping our lungs functioning and limiting collateral damage? A fantastic collaboration led by Sidd Balachandran offers a solution (1/5) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Absolutely thrilled to be selected as one of the American Association of Immunologists Public Policy Fellows for 2024-25. I look forward to the training experience and advocating for the strengthening of federal support for immunology research.

After saying that I enjoy academia:

From a syndrome newly emerging to a strong lead on the mechanism of action in ~3 years. Amazing piece of work led by Aaron Bodansky, MD and Robert Mettelman out in Nature today. Congratulations!!

Researchers found a link between multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and COVID infections. Understanding this connection could lead to better diagnosis and the development of targeted treatments. ow.ly/bxBR50SU9qk

So happy to share our incredible work, just published in Cell. We found that high expression of OLAH drives life-threatening immune responses. OLAH directly impacts disease severity in multiple globally relevant, but distinct viral infections. tinyurl.com/3xupbr2k
