We are recruiting 1-2 postdoctoral fellows to investigate the specificity of human anti-influenza virus antibodies, and to determine how these antibodies impact global antigenic drift of influenza viruses. Join our lab at Penn in Philly. Reach out if you are interested in applying! Please repost!

We’re unwrapping a new method today at @mskcancercenter.bsky.social. Led by Sydney Blattman, Nabih Maslah, and @austinv11.com with @danapeer.bsky.social, @ronanchaligne.bsky.social and @10xgenomics.bsky.social, we present GIFT: Genotyping In Fixed Transcriptomes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/n

Do you think you would have discovered a gorilla hiding in plain sight in your data? We found that you are 3 times less likely to do so if you have a specific hypothesis in mind. *A hypothesis is a liability* (Night Science recap, Day 5) genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Does anyone have serum/plasma from a cohort of (ambulatory) patients with herpes zoster (shingles) ? A small cohort would be fine. We will test if they have auto-Abs against type I IFNs, as the risk of zoster increases over 50 yo. Please RT or contact me !

Die Sesselfelsgrotte im Altmühltal ist ein ganz besonderer Ort. Seit 1964 wird sie von der FAU erforscht und brachte erstaunliche Funde hervor. Unter anderem entdeckten Forschende einen Neandertaler-Fötus dessen Alter auf 55.000 Jahre geschätzt wird. www.fau.de/2026/03/news...

This is wild! (please excuse pun) Large, randomized study showing that Wolbachia‑based Aedes mosquito population suppression alone can significantly reduce dengue infections in a real‑world, dense urban setting! #dengue #IDSky #singapore @nejm.org #MedSky

what sequencing-based strategy do people like to look at CRISPR/cas9 editing in a polyclonal cell population? in the past i have used Sanger+the TIDE algorithm. I know some labs amplify the target region and do NGS- if that option, what company would you use? any other options?

👋 Jesse Mulder, new postdoc in our lab! Jesse completed his undergraduate studies @monashuniversity.bsky.social, Australia. After his Honours year, he investigated the regulation of plasma cell lifespan programming during his PhD in the lab of David Tarlinton. Welcome to www.schoberlab.de/team!

True story.

1/ We are excited to report in @sciimmunology.bsky.social that human complete and selective LFA-1 deficiency causes isolated Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis (EV). This surprising phenotype revealed a surprising mechanism 🙂 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This is a nice contrast to all the awful behavior confirmed through the Epstein files. Proud of @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social & @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for picking up on the sexism & charlatanism right away.

Warum erinnert sich das #Immunsystem oft ein Leben lang an eine #Impfung? Forscher um @kischober.bsky.social von der @fau.de sind dieser Frage nachgegangen – und liefern mit ihrer Studie eine klare Antwort.
