@drjonlim.bsky.social & @reisesousalab.bsky.social show cDC1s & DNGR1 favor "tethered" neoantigens from F-actin proteins, trapping them in necrotic debris for better cross-presentation! Calls for prioritizing these neoantigens for cancer vaccine design #Immunotherapy www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My main PhD paper is finally out! 🎉 After ~5 years, it’s published today in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺. @natimmunol.nature.com It all started with an unexpected observation 🔍: 👉 Mice lacking the dendritic cell receptor DNGR-1 developed tumours earlier ⏩ and more frequently 📈 than wild-type mice. 1/11 🧵

The @nytimes.com Lost Science series continues. Here's my Q&A with a scientist who was studying how wildfire smoke threatens human health when the EPA decided that her research was no longer a funding priority. Gift link: nyti.ms/4jhpw14

Was a great year for our Centre and very much looking forward to developing new microbiome projects and collaborations in 2026!

Reaching maturity: Thymic γδ T cell differentiation in mice and humans #gdTcells

Today, we see the fruit of 5+ years of teamwork. We have built a map of the neutrophil compartment (mostly in mice - but also humans). It provides a biological structure that focuses on a single immune cell lineage to discover the many ways in which neutrophils "interpret" physiology.

NYC Postdocs: Join us for our next Postdoc Night Science session to practice how to get new ideas using "puzzle-switching"! This time we're in Columbia U. on Dec 3 at 5pm. Free registration: docs.google.com/forms/d/1onf... @stearnslab.bsky.social @kelseymonson.bsky.social @jaeseunghahn.bsky.social

In our latest work we've explored associations between the fecal bile acid pool and helminth infection status in school aged children in Uganda. Have a read and see what we found!

Delighted to share my latest publication as a PhD candidate in @drlarey.bsky.social’s lab at @uvicscience.bsky.social! With our international collaborators we’re excited to share our findings on the associations between #helminths and fecal bile acids! 🪱 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Immunotherapy researcher Miriam Merad from Icahn Mount Sinai says the reason that cancer research has slowed is because of funding issues, which is something taxpayers don’t have to accept. “We fight for patients, we fight for science, and we have to fight for progress.” #STATSummit

Excited to see the PhD work led by Sarah Danchuk published today. Virulence hierarchies within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Thanks to all the authors and collaborators, and especially kudos to Sarah: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events. Deafening Quiet from the Scientific Establishment jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... 1/14

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

Beautiful talk by @ikinglab.bsky.social today @nyulangone.bsky.social talking IFNg, type 2, parasites, disease tolerance and gut:stroma axis. gorgeous microscopy and insightful new Frontiers in Hpb infections. 👏👏

The McGill Centre for Microbiome Research is hosting a mini-symposium Oct 21! Microbiome and Pain: Unraveling the Gut-Brain connection. Sign up for a great morning of student talks, networking and a keynote from Dr. David Bulmer! www.eventbrite.ca/e/microbiome...

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top global infectious killer check us out. BSL3 experience not required. The NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD is an amazing place!

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be."

RFK Jr. went on Fox News today to claim that HHS has had “no successes” in the past 40 years. I beg to differ. Figure from Lei et al., NEJM 2020. Link below.

🚀 Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-for-profit organization to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers 😉, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one!

Check our new website – night-science.org – and consider also helping us to launch the Night Science Institute!
