How do smoke and allergens trigger asthma?

Watch this short explainer to see how gasdermins, pyroptosis, cytokines, and immune cells contribute to asthma.

Heyyo, check out some exciting new findings from our division, @AsthmaResCincy!
Congrats to all the authors! 🥳

New findings from the Division of Asthma Research show removing race from testing formulas improves diagnosis of #asthma in Black children. These findings will help address long standing health disparities in our community.

Excited to finally share this intriguing discovery that has mechanistically perplexed our group for years. Led by Alex (@CincyMSTP) & @RachLCan22 of @CincyImmunology w/ #PalumboLab, we find that prothrombin prevent fatal T cell-dependent hemolytic anemia during virus infection

Lol @ me deciding to illustrate all my figures for my thesis…
Is this necessary? Absolutely not
Do I have time for it? No probably not
Is it fun though? Yeah, it is

Feels good to be in Cincinnati right now!

Really cool having Dr Marta Catalfamo speak at CCHMC today! Glad I got to chat with her at lunch. Awesome to see other people working on CD8 T cells and thrombin/PAR-1. Wild and motivating to see my name on her slides, especially coming from the lab that inspired my thesis. 🥰

Last year I started a blog to practice writing immunology content for non-scientists. It’s not much yet, but I just published my 2nd post on neutrophils. Check it out and let me know your thoughts! Neutrophils: Our Suicidal Soldiers – Research with Rachel https://t.co/EsImuFCSx4

I had a lot of fun at the Medpace Recruitment event this evening! Learned a lot about different roles from feasibility to patient recruitment. Super cool! 😸

Enjoyed some gardening this morning, next I’m going to paint my nails 🌻🥰💅 always nice to actually take a holiday off and relax, rather than be stuck in the lab 😅😸
