Congrats to Paul Ogongo for being awarded the TBVI Young Scientist 2023-2024 Award! I��m proud as his mentee. Even when I’m graduate school, Paul continues to inspire me to work hard!

[Paul Ogongo @JaTcells]

Grateful for The TBVI Young Scientist 2023 -2024 Award. I look forward to the opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead to improve and accelerate TB vaccine research. @TBVI_EU

I couldn’t be a prouder mentee. An amazing interview from my amazing mentor @MakOgongo_3

[Immunopaedia @Immunopaedia]

We are proud to have Dr. @MakOgongo_3 as our immunologist of the month!

His primary interest of his research is investigating the role of Mtb antigen...

An amazing story from an amazing person/mentor @SaraSuliman13

[Journal of Experimental Medicine @JExpMed]

Sara Suliman @SaraSuliman13, an assistant professor at @UCSF, uses multiple approaches to identify candidate #tuberculosis risk pathways and to determine their role in #TB progression. Read more about her research in our latest #PeopleAndIdeas: https://t.co/yZKeAGdz0O

Super excited to share the preprint of the latest findings on IL-17+ CD4 T cells in ART-suppressed HIV by @MakOgongo_3 and me!

Argentina may have won the World Cup but I won big for being able to have Paul as my mentor 😊 showing my appreciation by getting him a replica of the ball used in FIFA for Christmas.

[Paul Ogongo @JaTcells]

When your mentee knows your other passion! @AnthonyVanTran you delightfully thought out of the box.
Now I need to find a name for this beauty!

Pleased to share a review that John Chan and I wrote on immune cell interactions in #TB granulomas for @CellCellPress . Only 1.5 years late in submitting it. Apologies to anyone who was not cited...we had to remove half the references due to their limits.

I’m happy to say that all my graduate applications are officially submitted! I’ve done what I could and I’m proud of myself. I’m thankful for family, friends, and lab mates who helped me refine my app to what it is. I hope to hear back from schools! #gradapps #graduateschool #Phd

UCSF Faculty sent the following letter of strong support for students, specialists and postdocs to UC President Drake.
From comment section,"We are loosing some of our best graduate school candidates to other schools that provide subsidized housing and cost of living expenses.

Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

The @immunox UCSF/UCB retreat was super fun! I enjoyed learning translational and basic immunology from grad students and postdocs from both institutions. Most importantly, I enjoyed the memories I made with my peers from the @UCSF_EXPM.

[UCSF Division of Experimental Medicine @UCSF_EXPM]

19 DEM faculty, staff, and trainees enjoyed contributing to the recent UCSF/UCB joint immunology retreat at Asilomar.
