Lab of @drmaggiefeeney in the Division of Experimental Medicine @UCSF 🩸Human immunity to malaria 🫄Congenital CMV 🔬Gamma Delta T cells

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

🚂 All aboard at Collaboration Station for a potential vaccination sensation!!! 💉🦟

2️⃣ awesome papers from many awesome people using the PRISM childhood malaria cohort!

[Maggie Feeney @drmaggiefeeney]

1 of 2 concurrent papers just out characterizing anti-gametocyte antibodies induced by natural malaria that exposure potently block transmission = novel vaccination strategy

ICYMI and are looking for some 🔥hot off the presses🔥 weekend reading, check out work from @pjagannathanlab ft @perri_claire looking at the link b/w CD56- NKs and malaria clinical immunity! Find @prasannaj77’s tweetorial on our TL

[Science Translational Medicine @ScienceTM]

Research links anti-malaria immunity in children to "high-maintenance" natural killer cells, how an alcohol flushing gene variant may raise the risk of coronary artery disease, and more in this week's issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine.

[Prasanna Jagannathan @prasannaj77]

Shout out to @scienceTM for publishing our study describing how clinical immunity to malaria is linked to "high-maintenance" CD56-negative NK cells! 1/n @pjagannathanlab

[Mary Prahl, MD @mkprahl]

⁦From Uganda to Australia to San Francisco, always great to hear about the fantastic malaria immunology work by ⁦@mayi_nalubega⁩ presented at ⁦@ASTMH⁩. Just missing ⁦@DrMichelleBoyle⁩! ⁦

Thank you @UCSFPediatrics for highlighting our recent work from the COVIPAL Vaccination in Pregnancy study in @NatureComms @gaw_lab @YardenGolan7 @ariannacassidy @Lin68216745 @christinelin @lswarrier @Veronic20419469 @amypmurtha https://t.co/mlIkywXI8v https://t.co/tnt6NgI9dC

@UCSF_Postdocs #NPAW2022 #ucsfNPAW

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

Postdoc appreciation means DONUTS! 🍩

For the Feeney Lab, a lot of things mean donuts…but especially this!

@gnzacevedo and @justinelevan are the real treat though 🧡

[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.

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

Alas, the retreat is over! Guess it’s time for quiet reflection…😌

OR we could tell you that we’re looking for postdocs who like to go with the flow (the spectral kind, of course)! Join the fun here: https://t.co/C5kJFnQA5e

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

In the Feeney Lab, we save the BEST for last!! Everyone is Team Mikias! 😤

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

Labbies in this photo are (emotionally) closer than they appear! 🦦🦦🦦

[Gonzalo Acevedo @gnzacevedo]

It wouldn't be an immunoretreat without the retreat part! A partial @FeeneyLabUCSF (and special guest Josephine Reijneveld from @SaraSuliman13's lab) working out those core muscles among the sea otters and the harbor seals

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

And in the name of tolerance, @MAD_Postdoc taught us that commensal bacteria calls on monocytes to keep the peace in neonatal murine skin ✌️Jergens could never !!

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

Twitter thread! Twitter thread! Twitter thread at lunch!

Here’s some thoughts on the morning sesh to munch on 🍿

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

@RRiveraLugo showed us that L. Monocytogenes pulls a MAIT and switch, escaping MAIT cell killing by sneaking host flavins. ribDEAHT riboflavin-producers aren’t so lucky… who woulda guessed? ☠️

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

Not to brag but… @gnzacevedo and @justinelevan’s posters were POPPIN! We’re so proud 🥲

Stay tuned for Mikias’s tomorrow!

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

And from our pal @JRoncaioli in @russellevance’s lab: 🐭 have stacks on stacks on stacks of redundant inflammasome and caspase-dependent defenses against Shigella

…And also the UCB immunology softball team is recruiting

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

What a day! Here’s a highlight reel for our ✨visual learners✨

🦠 🫁 🔬🧫🧑‍🔬🐭🪱🩸🤧 🖥

Ok we get it, you want words. We can’t tweet it all (so much top tier content), but here are some things we learned 👇

[Feeney Lab @FeeneyLabUCSF]

Everyone should tweet @simon_j_cleary to see some of the most 🤯🤯 in vivo imaging of lung immune cells we’ve ever seen 🩻
