Attending the @uofl MD/PhD program retreat. Science is amazing, sunrise over the bluegrass landscape... even better. @StevenPJones @e_engelbrecht1 @stevennadakal

Next up: Kara Gouwens, AHA-awardee, is presenting her newest project in the Hill Lab. She’s always thinking outside the box.

[Steve Jones @StevenPJones]

This weekend, some of the Center’s MD/PhD students are at their retreat. Right now, Dan Nguyen (F30-awardee in the Hill Lab) is presenting one of his projects. And, in typical fashion, he is killing it.

[Melissa Smith @SmithLab_UofL]

So excited and proud to congratulate my first student @EastonFord11 on the successful defense of his PhD thesis. Introducing Dr. Ford! @BMGUofL1

Great way to end a long week. Thanks to my team and collaborators, particularly @EastonFord11 and @ctwatson29 who have made the move to @uofl four years ago the best decision I've ever made!

Honored to participate in #PRISMBangkok, hosted by @PacBio The enthusiasm for inclusive #immunogenomics research was wonderful. Excited to build collaborations around the world! Biscuit felt so welcome.

[Liz Tseng @Magdoll]

.@SmithLab_UofL : better immune rep databases are necessary. Current state of databases are horrible…population-specific genomic references needed for better mapping.
