It's been a great & productive summer, we had fantastic #undergraduates :) but September is HERE and we are looking for new #POSTDOCS - effective immediately! please spread the word and if interested - let us know! We are into #transcription #inflammation #epigenomics #NuclearReceptors #macrophages

The #cancer #microbiome: the facts, the myth, and our take on it- with @abdohlman.bsky.social , Xiangyu Pan and Laurence Zitvogel. Out now @natmicrobiol.nature.com just in time for the start of the academic year @wcm-imp.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Closing the 1st part of the #MSKPostdoc Symposium: Adriana Mujal, Kravis WiSE Fellow from the Sun lab, explores what drives natural killer (NK) cell activation across tissues. These immune warriors rapidly destroy infected or malignant cells - key to our body’s defense🛡️ #NPAW2025

Good news shouldn’t wait, but it’s been a hectic work-heavy summer. I am delighted and honored to be among the Kenneth Rainin Foundation 2025 Innovator Award Grantees. Thank you to @krfoundation.org for supporting our work. krfoundation.org/news/health/... krfoundation.org/our-work/hea...

After many years of work I’m so happy to share our work on #scienceimmunology on how Treg cells modulate nociception to dampen skin inflammation! My handle will make a lot more sense now!🕵🏻‍♀️

Congratulations to IMP faculty member David Artis and his team on their new paper investigating how the neuropeptide adrenomedullin 2 promotes protective gut ILC2 responses and reduces inflammation, highlighting a novel neuro-immune circuit!

Fantastic to see two former IMP postdocs @thepenkpanther.bsky.social and @coraline-mly.bsky.social highlighted by JEM in this Viewpoint! #WomeninSTEM

Have a look at this new study by Dr. Celeste Dang in @natimmunol.nature.com showing an interesting new role for the transcription factor TCF19 in driving antiviral NK cell function. Congrats Celeste for driving this one to the finish line! @mskcancercenter.bsky.social

Thrilled to share that I was selected for the @hhmi.org Gilliam Fellowship! Extremely grateful to my PI @justinperryphd.bsky.social and my lab mates (Jesús and Shasha) for their incredible support! Excited for many discoveries and outreach within @wcm-imp.bsky.social www.hhmi.org/programs/gil...

Exciting first post! With @drshrutinaik.bsky.social and many others! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share the most recent preprint from the lab, the thesis work of Dr. Adam Krebs and a collaboration with many, including the Geissmann lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social Here is a short paper thread. #tuberculosis #macrophages 🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's official. I'm happy to announce that I have been promoted to Associate Member @mskcancercenter.bsky.social. It is sincere when I say that this would not have been possible w/o the incredible work of the members of my lab. In fact, exciting news about them coming soon. Stay tuned.

🎉Huge congrats to Kathleen Mills, PhD, on being named a 2025 ICIS Young Investigator Awardee! Her success reflects the drive and excellence we see across our IMP students! You've done amazing work in the Hohl lab.👏We wish you the best, onward and upward! signals.cytokinesociety.org/2025/07/14/2...

(2/2) Researchers are optimistic that what they’re learning in animal models could one day help make #immunotherapies more effective in cancer patients. Learn more ⬇️

(1/2) In a study published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social, MSK's @josephsunlab.bsky.social and Dr. Rebecca Delconte found that fasting can supercharge the immune system's “natural killer” cells, a type of white blood cells that can kill #cancer cells.
