If you want to do cutting-edge research that directly impacts patient lives AND work with an amazing mentor, this is your chance! The Amankulor lab @PennNSG @PennMedicine is looking for postdocs

[Nduka Amankulor, MD @NdukaAmankulor]

The @AmankulorLab @PennNSG @PennMedicine @PennCancer seeks new talent. Our lab proudly lives by the mantra “BEHIND EVERY EXPERIMENT IS A PATIENT IN NEED”. If you are a collaborative, high-integrity immuno-geneticist/tumor biologist, DM me w/ CV @NdukaAmankulor. @NSTumorSection

All the discussion about vaccines and immunity has me going back to read this article by @edyong209, which hilariously explains the mind-boggling and paradoxical facets of an immune response. For anyone who feels Immunology is complicated - worth a read!

In a phase 2 trial, outpatients with #COVID19 who received a single infusion of a 2800-mg dose of the neutralizing antibody LY-CoV555 had a greater reduction from baseline in viral load than those who received placebo.

"They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy"
It is rare for the scientific community to take a political stand. But there is no better time to do so than when politics, not science, dictates pandemic response

[NEJM @NEJM]

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

Unconventional T cells called MAIT cells are recruited to the airways and strongly activated in patients with severe #COVID19, @karolinskainst, @CIM_Sweden scientists found, suggesting the cells’ involvement in the development of disease: https://t.co/rtyaK9toHY

"A significant proportion of patients who develop life-threatening forms of Covid-19 have genetic or immunological defects that impair their ability to fight the virus, research has found"
