I'm excited to share that our paper on autoimmune mechanisms in Parkinson's disease is officially out in Neuron today!

Congrats to my amazing co-author @FGarrettiPhD and a big thank you to my mentors @DAgalliu and Dave Sulzer!

@Columbia News wrote this great article giving an overview of our study and what is still unknown about the relationship between PD and the adaptive immune system!

It is with great joy that I share our manuscript, out today in @NeuroCellPress 🎊 Thank you to my co-author @ConnorMonahan8 and PhD mentors @DAgalliu @david_sulzer 🧠

I’m very excited that the work of @FGarrettiPhD and @ConnorMonahan8 on immune mechanisms driving the gut pathology in prodromal PD is out in @NeuroCellPress. Thanks to the amazing work of the first authors and my collaborator Dave Sulzer!

After a long revision, we were finally able to figure out that a-Syn Th1/Th17 cells convert to a TRM phenotype in the gut of a-Syn peptide immunized HLADRB:*15:01 mice. These cells are found in IBD, suggesting that our mouse model mirrors prodromal PD

Coincidentally joined twitter the same day that a major project I worked on at Boston College got published. Check it out if you're into neurodevelopment and genetics!
