Happy Valentine’s Day from the Yount Lab!

The Midwest Virology Symposium this weekend at U Kentucky was one of the best conferences I've been to in years. The science and energy were awesome and we had a great group there from Ohio!

Check out my second, first author publication! A great story and collaboration with past and current members of the lab.

Our new paper in collab with @hemannlab.bsky.social. Shows IFITM3 KO mice that are more easily infected with most, if not all, influenza strains can be used for preclinical challenge studies to test vaccine candidates. 🫁🦠🥼💉https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X25007558

Great presentations today at the Autumn Immunology Conference by @jackroettger.bsky.social and @samuel-speaks.bsky.social from the Yount Lab!

#AIC2024 come visit my talk “GSDMD promotes influenza virus induced mortality through neutrophil amplification of inflammation” in workshop 6 (abstract 59) 🐁🦠

I finished my pre-clinical years of medical school yesterday. What a challenging 1.5 years. So glad I met some awesome people that made studying a little less difficult. Next stop: STEP 1 🫠

Very proud of the great talks my students Parker Denz and Samuel Speaks gave at the Autumn Immuno Conference this weekend in Chicago!
