Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome causes Crohn’s disease-like inflammation, lung fibrosis, and macrophage lipid accumulation. Here researchers show dysregulated immunometabolism contributes to the impaired anti-microbial immunity and inflammation:

Happy to share my first first-author #preprint. During my #PhD, we found that #autophagy in mature #adipocytes is important to control intestinal #inflammation. Next up, peer-review. :) Thanks to all co-authors @aksimonlab @powrie_lab @nanaborsa @GhadaAging @MathildePohin

4 years + 1 pandemic = #PhDone. Much to come on #adipocyte #autophagy. Looking forward to the next step. Thank you the entire @aksimonlab and my friends and family for supporting me though this journey. Very happy right now. :)

We found that cells detect #SARSCoV2 infection through the #RNA sensor MDA5, to elicit a type I & III #IFN response. However, release of other pro inflammatory #cytokines like #TNF is MDA5-independent. You can read our collaborative #OpenSource work here: https://t.co/3QyUfjREUW

Our work quantifying the discriminatory power of T cells is now published in @eLife with a great press release:

Proud of my superstar partner, Johannes, who passed his viva with flying colors yesterday and whose paper is out today in @eLife! A great collaboration of the @Dushek and @TeaCellBiology labs showing that the discriminatory power of T cells is imperfect

Huge congratulations to @DominikAschenb2 and Melania from the lab! Incredible to see this work out, borne out of a large, multi-national collaboration to describe GoF SYK variants.
