Pleased to share that our work on late-invading germinal center B cells is now online in @ImmunityCP. By developing a new dual-recombinase fate-mapping reporter system, we show that late-entry B cells in established germinal centers preferentially contribute to the memory B cell.
Online now: B lymphocytes that enter the germinal center late preferentially differentiate into memory cells that recognize subdominant epitopes https://t.co/oveMvvnwA5
This is both clever work - and potential REALLY useful knowledge to optimize vaccine timing for highly mutable viruses like SARS-2 & influenza, where sub-dominant epitopes are (IMHO) desirable targets to produce more "future-proof" antibodies.

Excited to share our new paper! Huge thank you to my amazing mentor Andrea @SchietingerLab and our co-authors for the guidance and support along the way! https://t.co/VDmoZnqwgO

I'm delighted to share that I'll be joining @TheCrick as a group leader in spring 2024. Our lab will focus on tumor immunology, antigen presentation, and immune cell-cell interactions using LIPSTIC.
If you're interested, I'll be hiring postdocs and PhD students. Get in touch!
Pleased to share our work in @ImmunityCP, where we studied the role of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling in germinal center B cell selection. We developed two tools to investigate this question: a tracker of BCR-antigen engagement in vivo and a BCR inhibitor-resistant mouse model.
Protein vaccine NVX-CoV2373 elicits functional T cell immunity: https://t.co/J5HKvR0kSg
In this #Commentary, @PC_immuno highlights the immune response following NVX-56 CoV2373 vaccination and the possibility of expanding the T cell response.

Our new paper is out showing T cell responses to the Novavax vaccine, studying Novavax vaccine clinical trial participants, led by the outstanding Dr. @CModerbacher! With a nice commentary article by @PC_immuno . 🧵

Check out the newest work published @Nature from our lab by Masao Hashimoto showing that the combination of IL2 and PD1 blockade modifies the CD8 T cell exhaustion program.
