I'm pleased to share with everyone my most recent work on immune priming in Drosophila using E. faecalis (w/ the amazing @zebabw !) Read more for a story of survival, endurance (not resistance), and more!

This finishes a year of my #BlackScientist_Series. Apologies to all the amazing scientists I didn't get to, I hope to discover each & every one of you as my science career continues! Thank you to all who followed this series, I hope you learned as much as I have #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Sandy Serizier #CellBio Previously elucidated molecular mechanisms of mid-oogenesis apoptosis & non-professional phagocyte clearance of corpses in @mccall_lab. Recently received her PhD & continues to do amazing research @generationbio#BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Marisol Dothard #Microbiology Previously studied microbiome of corals & how they help during ocean acidification to protect the organism. Moving to @UCSanDiego to continue doing amazing microbiome work. We will miss you! @microbiomarisol #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Lerato Cosnet #Immunology Focuses on understanding HIV susceptibility & transmission mechanisms. Studying molecular mechanism for male circumcision & effect of common asymptomatic sexually transmitted infections on male foreskin @LCosnet#BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Izzy Jayasinghe #CellBio Uses super-resolution microscopy methods to examine structural basis of molecular-scale signaling & mechanical function of cells. Works to uphold Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Accessibility in #STEMM @i_jayas #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Tumie Ntereke #Cancer Studies breast cancer genetics focusing on developing biomarkers from exosomes. Also has an amazing YouTube channel 'TumieTerry', where she vlogs about her lifestyle & breaking science stereotypes @TumieNtereke#BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Daniel Mukasa #MaterialScience Uses X-ray diffraction to verify structure & lack of defects in thin films. Aims to understand deviations from Fermi liquid theory & mechanisms behind electron transport in correlated materials @DanielMukasa1#BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Markia Smith #Pathobiology Studies interactions btw environment & cancer genomics w/in studies of cancer pathogenesis. Aims to determine effects of genomic alterations & discover genomic determinants of response to therapy @MarkiaASmith #BlackLivesMatter
#BlackScientist_Series Nathalie Momplaisir #Immunology Studies role signaling molecules downstream of GPCRs play in cardiovascular function & immune function. Focused on role G coupled receptors play in regulation of neuroprotective protein-ADNP @steministnat#BlackLivesMatter
