Joseph Sun Lab

Professor at @MSKCancerCenter and @WeillCornell, Program Director of @WCM_IMP. My lab is interested in T and NK cell responses against cancer and infections.

Additional thrill to catch up with former graduate students @NickAdams_PhD @GirlTalkScience @carldiaz92 who are doing their postdoc in NYC and dropped by MSKCC to celebrate with Endi!

[Joseph Sun Lab @SunLab_Official]

Huge congratulations to Endi Santosa @endicytosis on a fantastic thesis defense today! Now introducing Dr. Endi Santosa 🎉🥳 @WCM_IMP Best wishes in your postdoc studies and future endeavors. You are ready to conquer the world 😎

Slightly more official (but less creative) announcement from @WCM_IMP

[Joseph Sun Lab @SunLab_Official]

These curious posters began to appear on our floor this week to announce Endi Santosa’s thesis defense… thanks to the creativity of @cqdang. Good luck tomorrow @endicytosis - you’ll do great!

Adventurous meal at ThaPhraya with @ScientistBecs @SimonGrassmann @jjjt_98 to celebrate #postdocappreciationweek

We missed you @amujal Good luck tonight!! 😉

Excited to see our story showing that the #stressresponse regulator #HSF1 modulates NK cell anti-tumour immunity out in ⁦@NatureCellBio⁩. Thanks to fantastic work with ⁦@nkourtis⁩ ⁦@iannisaifantis1⁩ and team ⁦@nyulangone⁩ 🧵👇 https://t.co/nb5bGKd7jc

@ktsanov @UChicago very happy and excited for you Kal. congrats on this fantastic new position and good luck in chicago!

We kicked off the school year by welcoming our new incoming graduate school class of 2024 with a fun BBQ dinner - hosted by our 2nd year IMP students! Glad to have Izzy, Riley, Kasra, Andrew, Bella, and Cristian join the IMP program! (photo with program directors Joe and Theresa)

@RogatskyLab @WCM_IMP @JosefowiczLab What a fun bash! Congrats to all our grad students on another year. The program is nothing without our amazing students. With all due respect to my colleagues at other institutes… we have the best program in the country (in my humble opinion 😁)

[Joseph Sun Lab @SunLab_Official]

@DrMvandenBrink We miss you Marcel. It was wonderful to have labs and offices next to each other on zrc 14 for the past decade and a half. I couldn’t have asked for a better neighbor and colleague!

[Dr Becs @ScientistBecs]

Also, huge thanks to @MSKCancerCenter for highlighting our study! @SunLab_Official and I are huge NK cell fans (in case you didn't realize 😉) and were thrilled to chat all things fasting and NK cell anti-tumor biology! #NKcell #tumorimmunity

@amujal @ScientistBecs Great idea Adriana! No bagels whenever Bec gives lab meeting… we will fast 😜

[Dr Becs @ScientistBecs]

Thrilled to have this story out online @ImmunityCP!! Together with @SunLab_Official, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵https://t.co/QpyLoMqHoH

[Joseph Sun Lab @SunLab_Official]

@ScientistBecs @ImmunityCP Proud of you Bec! Congrats on getting this study across the finish line… and yet this is just the beginning. So much more for you to figure out in your own group!

NK cells were first described five decades ago and named in 1975. This brief Perspective from Lewis Lanier @UCSF highlights a timeline of a few selected advancements in NK cell biology in each decade. https://t.co/dqkr4UV5SP

Check out the latest issue of Immunological Reviews on innate immunity (with an adaptive twist!) where @JosefowiczLab and I convinced a bunch of talented colleagues to contribute.

Lots of great science and fun at this year’s @GSKGradSchool retreat at the snow-covered Mohonk Mountain House! Beautiful hike with @DiehlLab_MSK @chaudhuj @TuomasTammela @TommyVierbuchen … followed by Jay at the bench performing an experiment! 😉 Where are you @SchietingerLab??

[Joseph Sun Lab @SunLab_Official]

Congrats to Sam Sheppard (now back in London at Imperial College) on this final paper from our lab where he identifies a critical role for the enzyme CPT1A and fatty acid oxidation in the function of natural killer cells!
