Immuno… artists? @amujal @endicytosis @ScientistBecs @cqdang @SimonGrassmann @_MariahLee_ @jjjt_98 unleashing their hidden talent and artistic creativity! Thanks to @UshmaNeill @dana_peer @MSKEducation for helping us kick off 2024 with some flair at @PaintNPourInc! #MSKFunFund
Adventurous meal at ThaPhraya with @ScientistBecs @SimonGrassmann @jjjt_98 to celebrate #postdocappreciationweek We missed you @amujal Good luck tonight!! 😉
Excited to see our story showing that the #stressresponse regulator #HSF1 modulates NK cell anti-tumour immunity out in @NatureCellBio. Thanks to fantastic work with @nkourtis @iannisaifantis1 and team @nyulangone 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4155…
We kicked off the school year by welcoming our new incoming graduate school class of 2024 with a fun BBQ dinner - hosted by our 2nd year IMP students! Glad to have Izzy, Riley, Kasra, Andrew, Bella, and Cristian join the IMP program! (photo with program directors Joe and Theresa)
Also, huge thanks to @MSKCancerCenter for highlighting our study! @SunLab_Official and I are huge NK cell fans (in case you didn't realize 😉) and were thrilled to chat all things fasting and NK cell anti-tumor biology! #NKcell #tumorimmunity mskcc.org/news/fasting-p…
Thrilled to have this story out online @ImmunityCP!! Together with @SunLab_Official, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵cell.com/immunity/fullt…
NK cells were first described five decades ago and named in 1975. This brief Perspective from Lewis Lanier @UCSF highlights a timeline of a few selected advancements in NK cell biology in each decade. hubs.la/Q02zRMB70 🎥 See video summary: hubs.la/Q02zRKh80
Lots of great science and fun at this year’s @GSKGradSchool retreat at the snow-covered Mohonk Mountain House! Beautiful hike with @DiehlLab_MSK @chaudhuj @TuomasTammela @TommyVierbuchen … followed by Jay at the bench performing an experiment! 😉 Where are you @SchietingerLab??
Congrats to Sam Sheppard (now back in London at Imperial College) on this final paper from our lab where he identifies a critical role for the enzyme CPT1A and fatty acid oxidation in the function of natural killer cells! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Huge congrats to my colleague Andrea Schietinger @SchietingerLab on her well deserved promotion to FULL member at @MSKCancerCenter! So special to have her former mentor Phil Greenberg be in town for the celebration. We had to a snap a @UW_Immunology reunion photo!
While I was away at a faseb meeting last week, my former mentor Lewis Lanier came to NYC and took my postdocs @amujal @SimonGrassmann @ScientistBecs out for a nice dinner! What an amazing and wonderful #scientificgrandpa
I am excited to share the last paper from my PhD with @virusimmunity. Here we present TIINDRR (Tumor Immune Non-Biased Discovery Retroviral Reporter). (short thread) 1/ pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
