Continuing the theme of PD-1 regulating #Tregs: https://t.co/pX1phdggag Here is the write up and nice Treg movie @tajieharris @JoeFlowImmuno @IGAPenn @Penn_IFI https://t.co/Pp5ieyZkHn

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Tregs are T cells too! They come in different flavors and understanding what limits them is important for cancer, inflammation and infection. Congrats to @JoeFlowImmuno for this study on why Treg cells express PD-1. https://t.co/tgX3nYHYXE

Best Prelim advice I. Use a French word in your talk! Cytokine milieu, cellular detente, le repertoire, ménage of cells..... the committee will think its great. II. Do not under any circumstances use anything German (other than gestalt). @LauferTerri @EJohnWherry @IGAPenn

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Congrats to Penn alumni Greg Sonnenberg. He has relentlessly pursued the significance of class II on ILC - now showing a role outside the gut and into the CNS associated with neuro-inflammation (promoting or inhibiting) @IGAPenn @IGGPenn https://t.co/VEIvIdgsqb

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Always a day to celebrate when someone defends their thesis and gets their scientific wings. Congrats to Joe Clark @IGGPenn @IGAPenn today! I am amazed at the resilience of any student going through this process. Its never easy, but last 2 years have made this more difficult.

[Penn IGA @IGAPenn]

📣Thesis Defense Alert! Joe Clark from the Hunter (@KingOfPathogens) Lab will be defending his thesis titled:
“Understanding the role of the IL-1 family cytokines IL-18 and IL-33 in protective and pathological responses to T. gondii”, TODAY at 11am in the Ryan Audit @pennvet

@Jose_S_Campos @IGGPenn Well, its a good cohort, but I think the 2020 and 2021 cohorts might be better at staying on their feet.

[Jose Campos @Jose_S_Campos]

Best cohort ever!!! Loved yesterday’s @IGGPenn retreat!

[Cornelius Taabazuing @taabaman]

The Immunology Graduate Group @IGGPenn retreat yesterday was AMAZING! I got to meet most of the first year students. What a great group of young scholars. Also passed by the lab and we are on schedule to open in January 2022! We are hiring at all levels.
