This 👇🏻, why we need research!

🚀 We’re hiring a Postdoc! Seeking expertise in spatial metabolite imaging and/or mass spectrometry to study how host metabolism shapes immune responses. If you're creative, collegial, and excited to push boundaries, we’d love to hear from you. Please share! 🔗 www.nature.com/naturecareer...

My nose must be riddled with S. aureus then 🫠

Latest from the lab!!! We joined Amali Samarasinge and Charles Dela Cruz and a cast of many on a workshop for best practices for models of bacterial pneumonia @atscommunity.bsky.social www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10....

Latest from the lab! In @elife.bsky.social we reviewed the current status of trained immunity in the lung! elifesciences.org/articles/104...

Mice are not always reflective of human studies!

1,600 names needed toward the next 12,800 target. Support NIH and research

Virologists!! We are hiring at all levels. Check it out! jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/672389/v...

Such an honor to receive the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Faculty Organization Faculty of the Year Award.

An improved humanized mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus infection to study pneumonia from @daneparkerlab.com www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Latest from the lab! We show in @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social a new humanized mouse model of S. aureus infection using human lung tissue examining the immune and bacterial responses! #OpenAccess www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

The virtual Staphylococcal meeting is happening July 9-10, cheap and easy way to stay up-to-date with the latest research! Over 20 great presentations! #Staphylococcus #Staphylococci staphsymposia.org

Reach out to your representatives to fight the govt cuts to research. ASM has made it easy for you to do so.

A huge majority of Americans (77%) oppose the cuts to medical research that the current administration has made. (Source: Wash. Post/ABC/Ipsos poll)

Latest from the lab! We had previously shown sex differences in A. baumannii pulmonary infection. Here, we show that in human males have worse outcomes compared to females. Mice are not people! @asm.org journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Excited to see this finally out!! We found IL-2 made by CD301b+ DCs critical for the Th2 fate decision of CD4T cells and skewing them away from the Tfh fate. They also seem to use their own CD25 to direct IL-2 to the cognate clone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Bacteria as food for macrophages!

RIPK3 can promote neuronal survival during viral infection by @briandaniels.bsky.social at @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social ! www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Living with cats and dogs showed an association with MRSA infection! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39995309/

See that gap between the United States of America and those other countries? That gap… that gulf… That’s profit. Profit at the expense of health.

Hello all. Finally made my way to 🦋. Looking for my people in host defense, innate immunology, bacterial pathogenesis and lung biology! Please help me find you!
