[Ti-Ara Turner @sciencewithtee]

Hi! I’m Ti-Ara (Tee), an immunologist in training at the University of Iowa. I’m documenting my journey as a minority student who came to graduate school with little research experience. Welcome to the journey 🥼👩🏾‍🔬💉.

Congrats to @rachel_shrode on her PhD defense! With 7 publications, an F31 Fellowship, Best Poster Award & Dare to Discover campaign honors, Rachel has truly excelled. We celebrated with special microbiome-themed cake—here’s to a bright future, Dr. Fitzjerrells! #PhD #microbiome

Study: Growing evidence highlights crucial role of gut #microbiota in #MultipleSclerosis, with potential as diagnostic & therapeutic tool. More research needed to ID specific bacteria linked to MS & explore impact of other microbiomes (eg, oral & nasal) on disease progression.

It was great to have John @LukensJohnR for our immunology graduate program seminar series where he showed his cool work on the role of innate immune dysfunction in neurological diseases & teasers pointing towards role of adaptive immunity #immuneresponse #traumaticbraininjury

Congratulations to @sciencewithtee, Peter, @sudeepghimire_ & @shahibiotech for review on the factors (host & environmental) regulating #gutmicrobiota & mechanism(s) by which #gutmicrobes influence #MultipleSclerosis, especially #immunesystem modulation https://t.co/HTnSuaLf4n

Happy Juneteenth! Let today also be a reminder to all that African-Americans were enslaved people in America far longer than free.

@Ashu_Mangalam @micromindy @UIPathology Really enjoyed your talk today! Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best. 🦠

Although it was thought that IL-17A is required for brain specific inflammation and demyelination but data from a graduate student Ti-Ara @sciencewithtee show that even mice lacking IL17A or even IFNg can develop brain specific disease Poster# B758 @ImmunologyAAI #AAI2024

Ti-Ara @sciencewithtee, @UIImmunology graduate student and a Mangalamanian did a excellent job presenting her work on atypical EAE in mice lacking both IFNg and IL-17A @uiowa @UIPathology @ImmunologyAAI #AAI2024

[Ti-Ara Turner @sciencewithtee]

Congratulations to my dear best friend Allie Smith for successfully defending her PhD thesis. She’s worked hard to have 10 publications and to graduate in 3.5 years! 🎉😀

I had a blast at my first AAI convention #AAI2023! Loved the supportive scientific environment and learned so much! Especially hearing about science policy and government positions! I'm excited for my future after graduation and can't wait to see where immunology takes me next!

[Ivy Debreceni @I_Debreceni]

Thankful to #AAI for allowing me to present my research this year at #immunology2023

[Jabbari Lab @JabbariLab]

Check out Sam’s talk in the ‘T Cell responses in Autoimmune disease’ block symposium this morning at 9:00AM room 204ABC !! @sconnll #AAI2023

[Ashutosh Mangalam @Ashu_Mangalam]

Although both IL17A and IFNg are linked with Multiple sclerosis, their precise role in pathobiology of MS is still unknown, talented graduate student in Mangalam lab Ti-Ara Turner, will show data from HLA-DR3 transgenic mice lacking both IL17A and IFNg #AAI2023 @UIImmunology
