Congratulations to @jballocco of the Alegre lab, who will be defending her thesis today, titled "Duration of alloantigen expression affects the induction of transplantation tolerance." #PhDone
It’s #MatchDay2023! 🎉Congrats and welcome our new class of peds interns! We’re proud to have a diverse class including 34% matched interns who self-identify with races & ethnicities underrepresented in medicine, 2x the natl average! We're excited to see all they accomplish!

COI at the South Side Science Festival this afternoon with receptor ligand puzzles, origami viruses & antibodies, and passing out petri dishes to learn about how your immune system distinguishes between friend and foe!! @UChicagoImmuno
New @jclinicalinvest publication from the Alegre lab spearheaded by I. Pirozzolo and @MNSepulvedaD investigates host-versus-transplant and host-versus-bacterial immune responses, and what it means for transplant outcomes. Read the press release here: https://t.co/iNHyT55oek
