Great science, food, and hospitality at #ISEH2025 Kumamoto. Several new collaborations planned!

I am so grateful to be able to spend time with colleagues at #iseh2025. Fantastic science and community.

Central trained immunity is still a nascent field— is there true reprogramming of hematopoietic progenitors to influence innate immunity, or is this selection for lineage biased cells? We explore the nuances in this new review. doi.org/10.7554/eLif... awesome collab with Eva Kaufmann and team!

Less than a month until ISEH @isehsociety.bsky.social annual meeting in Kumamoto! Bringing some new science to share and excited to see friends and try the food!

It’s just a noncompeting renewal, but I’ve never been so happy.

And here it is! Our study in clonal hematopoiesis and Alzheimer’s disease — product of 5 years’ gestation. urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

We had not one but TWO bottles of bubbly to celebrate paper acceptances in the lab!! Exciting stories forthcoming which I am excited to introduce when they’re online!
