Resistance to antifungal medications is growing. Now, #UofG researchers have developed a faster way to identify the genetic vulnerabilities of Candida fungi, which could lead to brand new treatments. @uofgcbs.bsky.social @uofgresearch.bsky.social uoguel.ph/vze5i

Looking forward to Immune Synapses Toronto on May 28! Come join us to hear about some exciting immunology research. www.yorku.ca/events/immun...

Today is the #DayOfImmunology 🧬 This year’s theme is all about the #RegulatoryT cell, the immune system’s “guardians of balance”. Read this blog to learn about the Nobel Prize winning discovery by Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary E. Brunkow & Fred Ramsdell - vist.ly/428q6

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

“Most importantly, I learned to keep sight of why I came here in the first place.”

Proud to share our work now out in Cell. We hope what we learned about IgA immune responses to rotavirus can be translated into better vaccines. Congratulations Dr. Kei Haniuda, an amazing PDF. TY @uoftmedicine.bsky.social for covering. temertymedicine.utoronto.ca/news

A big study in JAMA last year in which 185 909 children were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Conclusion: Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38592388/

Nice review out by @priyankapundir.bsky.social lab! Bitter Taste Receptors in Bacterial Infections and Innate Immunity - Rudolph - 2025 - Immunity, Inflammation and Disease - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Fresh off the press! Our review on bitter taste receptors in bacterial immunity is now out, led by MSc students Hannah and Erin with support from USRA Austin. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Beautiful work from the Dong lab, led by the outstanding MD-PhD student @rkothari.bsky.social, out in @cellpress.bsky.social! Important contribution on mast cell-expressed Mrgprs in stroke-associated brain inflammation. Congrats to the whole team! #TeamMrgpr 👏👏

Lab at the department BBQ today (minus Hannah). Loving this warm stretch of weather we’re getting in the GTA!

A 𝐆 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧–𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐫 is a cell‐surface receptor that, once activated by ligand at the cell’s exterior, sets off a cascade of intracellular events. Full definition of this NEJM Illustrated Glossary term: nej.md/43wPaWc #MedSky #ScienceSky

Hello @bsky.app! We’re excited to have made the transition over to BlueSky 🦋 and are already excited to be part of the fantastic #immunology community!

Our latest work on how nerves safeguard lung fibrosis. Congrats to Dr. Hiroki and collaborators. @cp-immunity.bsky.social @kavithascranton.bsky.social @hotchkissbrain.bsky.social @ucalgary.bsky.social @ucalgarymed.bsky.social @libininstitute.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

See me Monday at #Immunology2025 latest on neuropeptides and mast cells at PosterBoard: 1214. #AAI2025

On our way to #Immunology2025! Catch our latest on mast cells at Posters 782 and 814. #AAI2025

1 final call to add signatures or to contact your local MLAs and PM Mark Carney. We need better investments in 🇨🇦 research when underfunded for so long. Will the PM commit to a significant tri-council 💰 ⬆️!? Please read & sign if ur a 🇨🇦 researcher at any stage of your career that agrees we need >$ 👇👇

Another one for the lab!👏👏 Congratulations to MSc student Erin Rudolph, who came 2nd at the #UofG Three Minute Thesis finals for her presentation on Mast Cells: The Fire Alarm of Immunity!🔥

Big finish to the week! First research paper from the lab—STAR Protocol on meningitis induction in mice, led by MSc student Erin Rudolph with support from Drs. Dong and Follansbee. Exciting stuff! star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/4168

Big congratulations to our PhD candidate, Colin, and MSc student, Erin, for taking home poster awards at #CSI2025! A perfect 2/2—such a proud moment for this #newPI. #CdnImmunology 🇨🇦

It’s a beautiful day for Immunology at #CSI2025

Did I mention that these faculty positions are in Canada 🇨🇦? Come join us! We are an awesome department! #Immunology #Virology

Celebrating the women behind it all. Happy International Women’s Day! #IWD2025 #StandupforScience2025

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55
