🎉 Congratulations to 💫 PhD student @MonicaZhong5 on her 1st-author paper📝 in @NatureMaterials! 🥂 To celebrate, her coauthors & lab members framed & signed a copy as a memento. We’re proud to see all the hard work & dedication pay off! #ProudLab Read👉🏽: https://t.co/Qn5i9Q2LMq
Thank you @Nature Editors & @NatureConf for the invitation to speak in Belgrade, Serbia on building the Human Immune System! Incredible science from world experts, great Serbian hospitality, absolutely wonderful people, and an extraordinary platform to share the work!!
So proud of Team “Affinity Makers” from @GeorgiaTech for completing their first 5K today at the @Winship5K! We ran for a cause close to our hearts, the fight against #cancer, which has touched so many lives. 💜 Thanks to all those who supported us!
For millions of people struggling with lung disease, everyday life is challenging. Together w/ @KrishRoyLab, we’ve developed an immune-competent Lung-on-chip! If work like this means fewer families lose someone they love, then it’s worth everything.

We are excited & grateful! Thank you Dr. @PompanoLab for highlighting the hard work of our talented trainees in your @NatureMaterials “News & Views”. Wouldn’t have been possible without our fearless mentor @Dr_ASingh, exceptional collaborators, & support from @WellcomeLeap, @NIH!
Grateful to Dr. Rebecca @PompanoLab for highlighting our human immune organoid & lymphoid-on-chip work in @NatureMaterials. Her "News & Views" outstandingly captures the critical need & efficacy of mini immune organs, predicting response in healthy & immunodeficient individuals.
Like T cells & B cells, Zhu & Singh @CoulterBME bring unique perspectives & abilities. Their partnership sparked a @theNCI @NCIPhySci U01, launching a journey to uncover “who pulls who”! Blending traditional insights with modern approaches, they work🤝 closely to advance science.
Protein handshake🫱🏽🫲🏿holds the key🔐to B-cell immune response in certain genetic disorders🧬! Read here about our new work @ScienceAdvances:

Thanks, @TheFourCrickets, for the scientific coverage!
Inspiring moment for us when Dr. Monica Bertagnolli @NIHDirector replied via email: “I had a chance to read this last night. It is fantastic to have models such as this – so important to overcome challenges with preclinical studies of human immune responses…Congratulations…” 🙏🏽
Excited to share that @LLSusa has awarded a "Specialized Center of Research" grant that brings #immunoengineers@GaTech_Immuno Center & #Cancer specialists nationwide to address #lymphoma survival #disparities in African American & EBV-infected patients!👉🏽https://t.co/4On9xtUyGy
Excited to be a Co-I on @LLSusa "Specialized Center of Research" (SCOR) Program, led by fearless PI Dr. Jean Koff @WinshipAtEmory! A new 5yr/$5M investment in multi-site collab w/ @GeorgiaTech@WeillCornell@MDAndersonNews for tackling health disparities!👉🏽https://t.co/yrsOc4gg4m
#Forces, for the win! 💪 It only took 30 yrs of advancement for "mechano-immunology" to emerge as a new mechanism in X-linked Hyper-IgM pathology! Could these forces also drive #lymphoma & #cancer pathogenesis? Up next w/ @Chengzhulab & @NCIPhySci! #ScienceTakesTime#mechanotime
As an immunoengineering lab, we take great interest in addressing unsolved questions in immunology! Last few weeks have been good for trainees! Congrats to our close collaborators in Zhu lab on @ScienceAdvances & our 💫 PhD student @MonicaZhong5 for her second paper in a week!
Pleased to share our new work @ScienceAdvances, led by @chengzhulab, revealing how forces regulate B cell & T cell synapse interactions. Our findings shed light on mechanistic underpinnings underlying the pathology of #immunodeficiencies, X-HIgM syndrome. https://t.co/JoL4aq1l35
Stunning zonal architecture of immune follicles found in lymphoid tissues, now seen in our latest human immune organoids and immune chip! Check out the news coverage on our @NatureMaterials paper!

For the 1st time, we can recreate & sustain “complex human immunological processes” in a synthetic gel; gamechanger for understanding & treating immune vulnerabilities in cancer patients who have undergone treatment. Thx @cpbarzler for news coverage 🙌🏽! 👉🏽 https://t.co/NWl0ZL0NM7
Can human immune organoids induce a de novo B cell response from scratch? A human PBMC sample can have both naïve and memory B cells directed against H1N1. We removed memory cells and induced germinal center and antibody response from naive cells! Read @SinghLabGT's new work!
"Human Immune Organoids & Organs-on-Chip" - Excited to share our new work @NatureMaterials! Congrats to PhD student @MonicaZhong5 for leading this breakthrough work & to all authors!👏🏽Immense thanks to @WellcomeLeap & @NIAIDFunding, @theNCI + for support!🙏🏽https://t.co/7DZXK0t0rc
Congrats to all the incredible doctoral student awardees! 🎉 We recognize and celebrate your vital contributions to advancing knowledge and making breakthroughs happen!🙌
Congrats to the recipients of the Society for Biomaterials (@SFBiomaterials) Southeast Symposium "Student Award", sponsored by Elsevier’s @Biomaterials_! 🎉This honor recognizes your contributions & potential as the next generation of biomaterials researchers. 👏🏅#SFBSoutheast24
Congrats to all the incredible #postdoc awardees! 🎉 Your dedication, innovation, and resilience drive science forward every day. #PostdocAppreciationWeek🙌
Congrats to Society for Biomaterials (@SFBiomaterials) Southeast Symposium "Emerging Leader Award" winners! Sponsored by @ibbgatech & its Center for Immunoengineering @GaTech_Immuno, the honor recognizes postdocs for their excellent contributions & emerging impact in the field!🏅
Honored to become the “Carl Ring Family Professor” in Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering @GeorgiaTech! Thank you Carl Ring Family for support! Grateful to lab, mentors, collabs, Chair, & family for support that helped pave my academic journey to this endowed professorship!
Good read @ImmunityCP: @victora_lab provides insight into the binding behavior of B cells in recall germinal centers, suggesting a balance between antibody-mediated feedback & memory from T helper cells! Framework applicability in humans to be determined! https://t.co/BojPNNRw1H
