Chiu Lab

A group of scientists studying neuroimmune interactions in the context of infection, pain, itch and neurodegeneration @harvardmed

[Chiu Lab @IsaacChiuLab]

Looking forward to hearing from this amazing line up of scientists, especially Chiu lab postdoc @Liwen_Deng811! She has an exciting story about microbe interactions with itch neurons, and is going on the job market soon!

[Michael G. Constantinides @Immuno_Mike]

Hear from a talented lineup of immunologists next Wednesday, Sept 18 featuring @zurisullivan, @alexwellsies, @DjenetBousbaine, @ValeriaMReyes, @CicaCanesso, @ScientistBecs, @Liwen_Deng811, & @NZanluqui.

We wish Kim and Daping good luck as they begin new positions and progress in their scientific careers!

Kim has accepted a staff scientist role at Mayo Clinic and Daping is starting up his own lab at the Institute of Neurosciences, CAS Shanghai. We will miss you both!

Congrats on the Chiu labs most recent PhD, @dylanvneel!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Your contributions to the lab will be missed but we wish you luck finishing up medical degree!

[Chiu Lab @IsaacChiuLab]

Even though this was last month, we're still thinking about how much fun we had at the Immunology retreat! Kudos for Samantha and Matt for presenting excellent posters! Looking forward to next year!

[Chiu Lab @IsaacChiuLab]

Excited to share our work out today in @NeuroCellPress ! Congrats to @dylanvneel @himanishbasu and co-authors!

We find the innate immune protein GSDME drives mito-damage and axon loss in neurons, and GSDME KO is protective in models of #ALS

Was great sharing my work yesterday with the #celldeath community @harvardmed.

Thanks to @j_ubellacker and @CellDeathLab for the generous invitation.

Encourage anyone interested in the cell and molecular biology of disease to attend next month!
