Congratulations to Shelby for defending her dissertation! We are so proud of you!

[Shelby Bradford, PhD @TheGeekyGoth]

Yesterday I successfully defended my dissertation assessing the role of IL-27 in early-life and its impacts on responses following BCG vaccination and MTB infection. It's been a long journey and it is so strange how fast and sudden this day seemed.
But, onto the next adventure.

Happy to share our article looking at #opioid exposure during pregnancy & its effects on #neontal immune profiles. This work was driven by two former lab members & made possible by our amazing collaborators @WVUMedicine! Thank you to everyone involved!

Got questions about COVID vaccines for kids? Check this out! @AlexDainis and I interviewed @DrPaulOffit about the Pfizer vaccine for kids under 12. We discuss the clinical trials, how the vaccine is different for kids, and balancing side effects and risks.

Huge congratulations to our first accelerated-track PhD student (now candidate!) Jordan for successfully passing her proposal! She'll be investigating the epigenetic regulation of IL-27 in early life immunity during sepsis.

[Jordan Vance @jkvance_]

Successfully became a PhD candidate today!! Huge thank you to my incredible committee, fellow lab members, friends, and family, who have been along for the ride. Quite a way to go into Thanksgiving 🎉🎉

Our lab has specific opening for a #postdoc interested in studying the regulation of cell growth and division in M. tuberculosis - part of a large program that fosters access to resources throughout the TB research community. Oh, and we just happen to be awesome! #postdocjobs

[Robinson Lab @robinsonlab_WVU]

Check out our newest review! We take a look at low-density #granulocytes and how to figure out better ways to characterize these cells differently from #MDSCs and #neutrophils in humans since there's no way to currently do that now: https://t.co/RszfUaxXSn via @MDPIOpenAccess

Some of the lab took a #PRT (personal rapid transit) for Brittany's last trip and Ashley's first official trip, all before the students came back! Shockingly, the system didn't break down for us the entire round trip 🎉🎉 @WVUPRTstatus

[Robinson Lab @robinsonlab_WVU]

Well done Tim!! 🎉🎉🎉

[Timothy Driscoll, Ph.D. 🏳️‍🌈 @wvuvectors]

Official now, I suppose: I have been granted tenure and promoted to Associate Professor! What a year. Special thanks to my colleagues @WVUBiology and my (anonymous) external reviewers - I'm deeply grateful for the time you took to support my application. Onward!

[Robinson Lab @robinsonlab_WVU]

Proud to have her as an alum of the lab!

This is a great opportunity for folks who will have access to a vaccine for the first time as they come to Morgantown. Take advantage, make a plan, get vaccinated!

[Venizelos Papayannopoulos @VeniPap]

Our preprint describing how microbe capture regulates T cell-dependent neutrophil dysfunction in sepsis, by modulating neutrophil lifespan to eliminate mature neutrophil populations. With @RalserLab and clinical collaborators. https://t.co/C9tsjySsuO

[Robinson Lab @robinsonlab_WVU]

Our first lab party post-COVID! We will miss both Nick and Brittany as they move on in their careers, but we had an absolute blast together! Also, please peep those #Crocs our boss Cory is wearing 🥑🥑🥑.

We are proud to show off our recently accepted manuscript : #MDSCs Gain Suppressive Function during #Neonatal Bacterial #Sepsis https://t.co/N7pdWBlHQB ##mdpiijms via @IJMS_MDPI

[WVU Safety and Wellness @WVUsafety]

Are you vaccinated? Yes? We love to see it. 👏

All fully vaccinated students and employees must fill out our vaccine verification form by Aug. 1 so we know you’re vaccinated for the fall semester!

Take a minute and verify now. ➡️ https://t.co/P0op68JS6a

[Clay Marsh, MD @claymarsh]

We are encouraging any and all 12+ West Virginians to choose to be vaccinated. These vaccines are safe and effective, and will help us get back to the things we love while also offering the most protecting to ourselves and to each other. #CommunityImmunityWV

@KseniiaSarieva But after we do further downstream isolations for specific cells, the red goes away and it does not seem to affect anything else. You can always try a quick RBC lysis of the PBMCs if you want to get rid of those and see if that helps!

[Robinson Lab @robinsonlab_WVU]

When your #Ficoll gradient turns out wicked nice 🤩🤩🤩 #cordblood #mononuclearcells #densitygradient

[Robinson Lab @robinsonlab_WVU]

@KseniiaSarieva Hello! Thank you for asking! We do sometimes get this, and the higher the volume of blood we start with, it seems like the more red we get. This could be that there are some RBC that somehow get through to that top layer (though I'm not sure how)
