Congratulations to @adilrasheed.bsky.social for earning the "Biomedicines" Young Investigator Award. Dr. Rasheed's research is focused on the intersection of lipid metabolism with immune cell fate and function in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 📰 - bit.ly/4tttV5h

Last week was a great week in the #RasheedLab! Our editorial was published (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...), and with the support of amazing mentors, I was selected for the Biomedicines Young Investigator Award!! 🎉🥳🍾 #onacholesteroll

🚀 Exciting Opportunity Alert! 🚀 We're hiring a Research Associate and Postdoctoral Fellow to join the #RasheedLab! If you're passionate about all things metabolism, cardiovascular and immune focused and ready to make an impact, apply now! 🔬🧪🫀🦴💡

Just in time for our inaugural @immunologyau.bsky.social 2026 Inaugural Margaret-Gertraud Immunology Lectureship, happy to share a review from MarcoOrecchioni and I on human macrophage heterogeneity in atherosclerosis! academic.oup.com/immunohorizo...

🚨A bit of a shift for me, but really proud of our collection and editorial on the influence of metabolism on the tumor microenvironment, including our favorite immune cells!! 👇 www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

My first NAVBO and this was an amazing experience! Thank you to the @mcsociety.bsky.social for the invitation!

Incredibly proud of #RasheedLab member Rachel (and Nick - honorary member) for representing us in the @pacelineride PaceDay to raise funds for cancer research!!

Huge milestone for the #RasheedLab, celebrating our first publication! 🥳🎉 Check out our take on lipid metabolism as a driver of athero, with the latest clinical updates! 👇 www.mdpi.com/2813-7086/2/...

First review from the lab accepted! Stay tuned, we can’t wait to share!!!

Proud to be part of this team, and being in Barcelona isn’t too bad either 😁😁

I love this. Inflammation is not an on and off switch, and thresholds exist for a reason!

So proud of the first #RasheedLab graduate and my fav (& only) Masters student Rachel!! If only I could turn back time, Rachel’s current work would’ve saved us SO MUCH TIME when I was a postdoc 😞 but stay tuned to see all the cool things she’s done!! #onacholesteroll

For folks looking for faculty positions. There are three openings at the Dept of Pharm, Toxi and Neuroscience of LSUHS where I am moving to as the chair of the dept jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/672153/p...

📣 We’re taking over Augusta University's Instagram for International Day of Immunology! Come behind the scenes and maybe even spot a “virus” or two around campus… 👀🦠 Tune in all day and see the first post here: www.instagram.com/p/DJCSLR1RLM...

We picked up more along the way @MarcoOrecchioni @sabrinarobichaud.bsky.social ! The @immunologyau.bsky.social crew on the way to #VascularDiscovery25 , see you all there!!

Obligatory on our way photo! #VascularDiscovery25 @adilrasheed.bsky.social

Updated #RasheedLab photo, and as winners (not included, our awesome genotyping from this morning)! So proud to work with this group and excited for all the science and fun times ahead!! #onacholesteroll

Don’t let the smiles fool you it’s definitely fierce competition between Team Rasheed and Team ⁦‪@MarcoOrecchioni‬⁩ for the @immunologyau.bsky.social Easter Scavenger hunt!

So thrilled to host a great mentor and friend, the incomparable Nick Leeper here at @immunologyau.bsky.social @lynnhedrickau.bsky.social

Today I imaged a coomassie stained gel and analyzed single cell data. My lab is torn between two centuries 😂

So thrilled to have @lab-williams.bsky.social visit the @ImmunologyAU for an amazing overview of Trem2 in atherosclerosis! @lynnhedrickau.bsky.social

A pie graph worth keeping in mind as the NIH budget plummets jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... for 356 new FDA drugs approved

No way they published this with a straight face 🤣

Had a great time chatting with @lozanzi.bsky.social today about all things metabolism and immunity!

Why is the NIH investing $$ to study "transgender" mice🐭? 🤔 Let me explain 👇 🧵 TL;DR This has everything to do with your health and nothing to do with making people #transgender. #ScienceSavesLives

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🧪☀️⬇️ Join us at the Lincoln Memorial or your local site to Stand Up for Science!

Extremely grateful for the support of @ahascience.bsky.social in exploring the contributions of cancer to cardiovascular disease! ❤️👩🏻‍🔬 jagwire.augusta.edu/immcg-postdo...
