Congratulations to Kathryn Rahlwes and the rest of the team on the new preprint from our group. We identify USP15, a deubiquitinase, as a key brake on macrophage immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Remove it, and macrophages control Mtb far more effectively. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great work from Horia Todor in Carol Gross's lab showing it's possible to predict complexes in "competition" pools in AF3 resulting in the first all-by-all prediction for a species. After length correcting the ipTM score predicts well known interactions and correlating ipTM vectors also has value.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants. This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

It's world TB day. The last two months have been a series of attacks on global health, infectious disease science and vulnerable populations. The damage will take decades to undo, and we are heading onto a steep global health disaster. We can't stay quiet. #tuberculosis #TB #WTBD2025
