Delighted to change Assistant to Associate today!! Can't believe how lucky I am to work at an amazing place, with incredible mentors, super talented trainees, & tons of friends and collaborators on my favorite placenta projects!! I may need to take an extra long Labor Day weekend to celebrate 🥂

I am honored to be on this week's Immunology Podcast to discuss placental tolerance & immunity in pregnancy!

Very excited to be on the Immunology Podcast!

Delighted with our new publication showing how natural microbial exposure of pregnant mice enhances T cell diversity and residency at the maternal-fetal interface and resembles human decidual immune populations with increased fidelity. www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

Thanks, Stephen!!

Delighted with my labs new publication on how decidual NK cells utilize the anti-microbial peptide granulysin for immune defense of placental tissues! ❤️

Granulysin-high decidual NK cells in macaques and humans share signatures of immune defense: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Great news to start my day!! ✨️🥂✨️

Incredible story! Thank you for highlighting this one ❤️

Congratulations Nathan and Team!! Very cool paper!!

Sooooo true... 🤣🤣🤣

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Can't wait to read this one! Congratulations Krish & Team!!

To keep me sane & centered, I made and fussed over this big clay pot last night! This morning, I feel refreshed and ready to focus on science! I think I may need more of this for a while...

Thank you Dave and Sebastiaan, for writing this nice piece about Frans! “Carpe Diem" and "Daar zit wel muziek in" will be my favorite words remembering Frans! doi.org/10.3389/ti.2...

Congratulations Liza & team!!! Can't wait to read this one!

@labwaggoner.bsky.social @cincyresearch.bsky.social are the first to describe how liver protein prothrombin prevents fatal immunopathology during chronic virus infection in mice. buff.ly/A6szRmm

Thanks for sharing this data, Jeremy! Looks absolutely terrifying to me...

The positive economic benefit of Cincinnati Children's on Ohio is at risk cincinnatichildrenshospitalmc.us.newsweaver.com/1m1vhmv4sc/m...

Can anyone please sue them for this and open the federal register? Our R01 scored a 10th percentile and should have gone through council in January... It is insanely stressful to run a lab these days...

Excellent Info Graphic. Share everywhere!

Agree!

Exactly 😡

We have to stand up for science! Anyone who can join these rallies and believes that US science must be protected should come! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Congratulations, Senad 🥂🥂 This CCHMC basic science research award is very well deserved and reflective of your excellent & inclusive research program!! ❤️@cincyresearch.bsky.social @cincychildrens.bsky.social

Congratulations, Dave🥂🥂 You soo deserve this senior CCHMC mentoring award!!!! Thank you for your continuous support, advice, and optimism! I would be here without this! ❤️ @cincyresearch.bsky.social @cincychildrens.bsky.social

I'll be there! Can't wait!!

Just waiting for something and this popped into head: important to remember that NIH funding (f&a and direct $) is NOT a gift. It’s awarded to a minority of applicants who’ve competed in a brutally difficult competition. @azfaust.bsky.social @raddrrach.bsky.social

Me too! Awesome lectures and great discussions!!

With great sadness, I heard my PhD mentor, Frans Claas unexpectedly past away. He was extremely knowledgeable and taught me all about HLA and allo-reactive cells. But most of all, he was most generous, kind, and really funny. Frans, thank you for everything!! I am proud to be part of your legacy 💔

Excited to be at the Keystone Symposium on T cell differentiation and Innate memory!! 🔥

Can't wait to read this one! Congrats Sarah & team!!

Journal club in the lab earlier today! Great introduction and discussion of a cool paper by the Bierle lab! We were a bit confused by placental vs pumkin weights, but hey, it's Friday! @cbierle.bsky.social

Are you interested in reproductive immunology? I hope so! And if yes, be sure to submit your science and attend this year's meeting!!! It is in St. Paul, MN and will be AMAZING! theasri.org/2025-St-Paul #ASRI2025

Can't wait to read this one! Congrats, Elizabeth & team!!

Happy & productive new year Jack and You All🥂 !! Loving Cincinnati but missing our discussions on HLA-G and HLA-C !! Hope the paper is on one of these cool molecules ;)

The new year starts with my 1st NIH/R01! Can't wait to expand my team and my passion for unravelling the mechanisms of placental tolerance and inflammation! Cheers You All! 🥂

YaY! Soon to be my neighbor in Immunobiology!

I know there's so much news to track at the moment, but let me add some important science to the list: "An unknown disease killed 143 people in a south-west province of Democratic Republic of the Congo in November." www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Same here! Wasted sooo much time & money trying to find the ones that actually work!

A must read for every scientist!

Reading another paper stating: "pregnancy is a state of immune suppression", Ugh.. is NOT! It is actually a state of immune activation & inflammation that is needed for placental tissue remodeling & establishing tolerance! Yes, immune suppressive Treg cells require activation! #placenta #Immunology

Proud to see very talented trainees give an awesome talk in the CCHMC student postdoc forum!

Yes! Join us at Cincinnati Children’s Immunobiology!

The remarkable drop in child mortality.

Great graphics to show how effective vaccines are!
