Huge congratulations to lead author Qinli Sun on this fantastic work in @nature.com! An IL-2–TGFβ surrogate agonist from the Garcia Lab induces antigen-specific peripheral Tregs and promote immune tolerance in models of ashtma, gut inflammation, and EAE: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Treatment with an IL-2–TGFβ ‘surrogate’ co-agonist quelled immune activation in mouse models of allergen-induced allergic inflammation and self-antigen-driven autoimmune neuroinflammation @stanforduniversity.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share the primary focus of my PhD thesis work, now out in @science.org today! We developed Trikines — engineered cytokines that reconfigure receptor complex assembly to reshape signaling directly in endogenous immune cells. t.co/UCixfysaUl

Excited to share this work from the Garcia Lab out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We engineer "cytokine adaptors", molecular immune switches that simultaneously block a target cytokine while inducing local activation of alternative cytokine receptors. rdcu.be/ec7GS

I am honored to be named a RISE Scholar by the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, joining a community of incredible and ambitious researchers transforming cancer immunotherapy! www.parkerici.org/the-latest/p...

Competition among JAKs for receptor binding may underlie cell type–specific differences in cytokine signaling www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Last month, I successfully defended my PhD in Immunology at Stanford! I am beyond grateful to my family, friends, colleagues, Stanford Immunology, and advisor, Chris Garcia, for their support in reaching this milestone.
