Cuts in NIH research grants will have a lasting negative impact on science and medicine in the U.S. Grants will continue to fund specific research costs, but essential infrastructure like labs, advanced equipment and support staff are crucial for groundbreaking work.

Proud of my brilliant friends and collaborators for their well deserved honor! Congrats @oanheei and @louiserowntree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doherty Institute @TheDohertyInst]

Congratulations to Dr @oanheei & Dr @louiserowntree from the Doherty Institute for being awarded the @UniMelb 2024 Woodward Medal (Science & Tech) for their groundbreaking work on human T-cell responses to respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. 🌟👏 https://t.co/iJz1DDVHfy @UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH

TCR repertoire dream: decoding immune status by sequencing TCRs. Problems: 1) Need paired TCRab chains 2) Interesting T cell clones are often VERY small. Our solution: TIRTL-seq 🐢Deep, quantitative, & affordable paired TCR repertoire sequencing. 🧵 https://t.co/n90d3DLZHV (1/11)

@aaronquinlan @UUtah Congrats Aaron!!! You'll make a phenomenal Chair!! Well done!!!!

[Alex Cagan @ATJCagan]

At a recent conference @AthenaAktipis invited me to give a talk on the role of creativity in science. For those interested here are the illustrated slides in tweetorial format. The take home message: Creativity and science go hand in hand. (Thread 1 of 2)

So happy to share our incredible work, just published in @CellCellPress. We found that high expression of OLAH drives life-threatening immune responses. OLAH directly impacts disease severity in multiple globally relevant, but distinct viral infections. https://t.co/juMu6rXvrx

MIS-C is a rare post-COVID syndrome impacting children, though a direct connection between SCoV-2 & severe inflammation is undefined
In our new collaborative effort w/UCSF & Boston Children's, we find a cross-reactive epitope could be the MIS-Cing link. A🧵https://t.co/FPpCLFlyDn

Our latest, from the brilliant @wchenomics and @_Choi_Junhong, out in @Nature , is ENGRAM, a multiplex method for symbolic recording of signaling and cis regulatory activity to DNA. Final version (not in preprint) includes integration w/ DNA Typewriter. https://t.co/XmiIZSNWpv

Have you ever wondered why there are so many subtypes of immune cells? In our work published today at @Nature, we offer one possible reason – the capacity to evolve. 1/n https://t.co/oSFlSRhv59

[University of Michigan School of Public Health @umichsph]

NEW: @UMichSPH prof @AubreeGordonPhD has been awarded a $6.7 million five-year grant to advance her innovative research into influenza immunity development among children. "This study represents a monumental step toward understanding how early influenza exposure—whether through infection or vaccination—shapes the immune systems of children in the long term."

@NeBanovich @ATS_RCMB It was a great session!!

[ekaitys @ekaitys]

This was so fun and filled with great discussion with the panelists and audience! I had a great time! Thanks @JPantaleonMD for organizing!

Fantastic work in the Mechanisms of Lung Inflammation and Infection poster discussion session! @TimFlerlage presented incredible single cell data on influenza induced ARDS. Amazing to see a good friend and collaborator Yohannes Mebratu moderating the session! #ats2024

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

We've underestimated the role and activation of the immune system in patients with heart attacks. A comprehensive multi-omic analysis uncovers the role of T cells and monocytes

Tacos with friends on the water and puppy cuddles. Also, amazing science at the Charting lung omics session (not pictured). Great morning at #ats2024 @aanaishe @TimFlerlage

[ekaitys @ekaitys]

Started #ATS2024 off with some great friends and colleagues! Lucky to be a part of an incredible group in @ATS_GG!!
