Wake up #neuroscientists, a new brain-mapping tool just dropped! 🧠🔬 Professor @ecallaway, @MariMelonPan, and team debut START—a method to trace the connectivity patterns of transcriptomic neuronal subtypes. The results could inspire new neurotherapies with greater target…
We are so grateful and excited for this opportunity! Thank you NOMIS foundation for helping support this fascinating area of science.
🙌 Thank you, NOMIS Foundation, for your generous $20M gift to support our new Neuroimmunology Initiative at Salk! 🧠🔬 “We are excited to take a deep dive into the understudied intersection of neuroscience and immunology,” says Professor Susan Kaech. Read more about this…
Bye- I’m leaving X, hope to find you in linked in. Musk has crossed a red line—paying for votes OMG! My son’s pumpkin carving captures my reaction to his lunacy & destruction of democracy. Happy Halloween!!

This moment from @KamalaHarris’ questioning of Brett Kavanaugh at his Senate hearing has never left me. "Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?"
Thanks Van for saying what we are all feeling!! cnn.com/2024/07/21/pol…
🚨🚨🚨TRUMP SHOOTING UPDATE: The FBI confirms that the Republican who shot Trump used an AR-15. The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead. The SAME gun that’s been the weapon of choice in many of the most…
Super cool study Ian!
We’ve known about tolerant CD8+ T cells for >25 yrs – but what are these cells?! Prematurely exhausted, stalled effectors, or something else? Our latest @ImmunityCP paper takes a deep dive into this question with some unexpected results, including a link to cancer… (1/)
Why Arid1a mutant tumors are more sensitive to ICB is no longer BAF-fling!! Congrats to Diana @HargreavesLab, Matt Maxwell and her lab on such an important discovery! @salkinstitute
ARID1A loss in tumor cells triggers anti-tumor immunity via R-loop-derived cytosolic DNA and activation of the STING-type I interferon pathway @CellCellPress @HargreavesLab @Tcellogic cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Thank you ICIS-such a special award! It’s the biggest honor a PI can receive and I am so grateful to my nominators and lab members for letting me cherish this award with them. I’m so lucky to work with incredible lab members! Here’s to my mentors who taught me to pay it forward!
Susan Kaech @Tcellogic chosen for the 2024 ICIS Mentorship Award for her combination of cutting-edge research & discoveries with relentless championship of the junior faculty she has helped both in & outside her own lab cytokinesociety.org/susan-kaech-is… via @httpstwittercomCytokineSociety
THANK YOU Lydia and all past and present Kaechians for this award! This is THE best honor a PI could ever receive, and I am so grateful and lucky to work with such incredible people. They teach me as much as I teach them— this is the best part of research and discovery.
Congratulations to Sue! @Tcellogic I’m so lucky to have benefited from Sue’s advice and time, and science and academia is lucky to have her 💪🏼🥳
Congrats Tim!!!
Congrats to our very own Tim Hand, PhD, for his Ascending Star Award from the University of Pittsburgh! Read more here and support Tim at his guest lecture on July 18th! pediatrics.pitt.edu/news/hand-rece…
The AAI High School Teachers Summer Research Program in Immunology has resulted in a Teaching Material Archive that is free and fully accessible online to all: aai.org/Education/Summ… #immunology #teachscience
AAI unveils its 2024-2025 Public Policy Fellows. These early career researchers will engage in advocacy activities to bolster federal research funding, strengthen the biomedical research sector, and advance #immunology understanding. ow.ly/SRQh50Rtx41
I am still in shock and so honored and humbled by the news today! This NAS award is first and foremost for the Kaechians and all their incredible ideas, hard work, and discoveries. Thank you to all my mentors and role models for your support! We all get a gold start today!!
We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 24 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research. Congratulations to our new #NASmembers and welcome to the Academy!
Hi all, what is happening to foreign scientists in Florida is horrible. Pls Join and donate to AAPI orgs in Florida to help us sustain recruiting amazing scientists from Asia to America. As we have seen with RvW, this mentality can easily spread across the country.
The passage of Florida's SB 264 is a devastating blow to the civil rights of Chinese immigrants and Asian Americans alike. “America was the beacon of the world," said University of Florida Professor Zhengfei Guan, "and now that beacon has collapsed.” bit.ly/453TgWG
Beautiful work Evan!! Even though critics always say mice aren’t humans, here’s another fantastic example of how foundational work in murine T cells led to a significant translational finding. Go memory T cells. Congrats!!
Memory genes are enriched in CAR T cells that persist and control tumors in patients. But which transcription factors drive beneficial memory programs? We answer this in our lab’s first paper in @Nature led by @alexdoan96 @kpmueller1 @andy_yhchen. 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158…
