We are deeply saddened to learn of Dr Jeff Pollard's passing. He has had a profound impact on the field of macrophages and cancer. We are humbled and honoured to have published his last review; a timeline of macrophage biology. Our condolences to his family, friends and lab.

Have a great week!

Congratulations to @GwenRandolph_, who recently received an Outstanding Faculty Award from @GSSwustl. Dr. Randolph is the Emil R. Unanue Professor @wusm_pathology and director of the Immunology Training Program in @WUSTLdbbs. Read more here: pathology.wustl.edu/dr-gwen-randol… #wusmpathimm

We are excited to share our new @biorxivpreprint on the effects of anti-α4β7 therapy on GALT in ulcerative colitis! Co-lead by @pabloimmune @mat_uzz & A. Seki. @SinaiImmunol @MountSinaiGI biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Dybvig joined @WUSTLbusiness's faculty in 1990. He joins a prestigious list of Nobel laureates affiliated with WashU, 26 in all, many of whom did a significant portion of their award-winning work here. He is the second WashU person to receive the Nobel Prize in economics.

Don’t miss out! Sept 15th is the last day to register to an amazing virtual event organized by the #NIH, which I have a pleasure to be giving a talk. The workshop is free and open to the public. niddk.nih.gov/news/meetings-… Join us to learn about lymphatics!

#TheFutureIsHere! I love to tweet amazing works of others, but this paper ⁦@ScienceMagazine⁩ by Pitteloud, Prevot &co can be a #GameChanger for #DownSyndrome. In a mouse model, using a safe treatment used in humans, they rescue cognitive deficits!❤️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Exciting! #NIH awarded Marco Colonna, @jonykipnis @GwenRandolph_ with @WashUNeurology @holtzman4 $15M for Alzheimer’s research. Focus is on myeloid cells including microglia & macrophages & lymphatics in Alzheimer’s disease & Cerebral amyloid angiopathy. ow.ly/2gYK50KwPZK

Great pleasure and experience to present our work today in this fantastic panel. I’ve learned a ton! Thank you for the opportunity.

And if you are at #AAI2022 with no plans for Saturday morning, I suggest you to join the Major Symposium B! I will be presenting our work in a great session about macrophage biology, representing the @GwenRandolph_ lab, but not talking about macs. Check it out.

Excited to attend my first in person AAI meeting! Happy to be present in a meeting after 2 yrs, learning and discussing immunology with this great community #AAI2022

Thrilled and honored to share our findings and interact with this outstanding immunology community next week. Thank you for invitation @CFI_UMN
