Wonderful time seeing friends & meeting new ones at #GRCtoxpath! Many thanks to @DrBadBug, @TorresVJ_Lab, @ValeriaMReyes, & @microcallahan for a fantastic GRC/GRS! Truly honored to be elected as the next vice-chair. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one in 2026!

Honored to have been awarded the NSF GRFP!! I couldn’t have done it without my PI’s @BrodskyIgor support, as well as mentors and friends for helping me get to where I am today!

A study led by @pennvet’s Igor Brodsky and lab members Rina Matsuda and Daniel Sorobetea sheds light on a face-off in the intestines between the immune system and a bacterial pathogen whose family members cause gastrointestinal disease and the plague.

Awesome talks @Midwinter_Immun including abstract talks by @RinaDoesScience on role of monocytes in formation & function of intestinal pyogranulomas during Yersinia infection & @laurlandau on synthetic biology approaches to identify novel inducers of type I IFN signaling!

Thrilled to share our latest preprint with co-1st authors @naseernawar, @Marisa_Egan11, & @ValeriaMReyes, & @BrodskyIgor on human NAIP/NLRC4 & NLRP3 inflammasomes detecting T3SS activities to restrict intracellular Salmonella replication! A thread: 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New paper out today: C. difficile exploits a host metabolite produced during toxin-mediated disease. We show that C. difficile eats sorbitol produced by the host during gut inflammation--one way the pathogen benefits from causing disease.

What an amazing report to wake up to! Pfizer vaccine provided 100% protection in 12-15 year olds (18 cases of infection in the placebo group, and 0 among the children who received the vaccine). The n is small, but gives me so much hope for school opening in the near future. A++

When choosing a thesis advisor, it’s natural to envision your best days, but important to think about your worst days.
Whose office do you want to walk into when your experiment failed, your manuscript is rejected, or you’re dealing with a family emergency?
Choose that person.

Excited to share our @NatureNV article about the incredible work by the Hongbo Chi Lab at @StJudeResearch showing that lipid metabolism potentiates regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment.

We thought B.1.1.7's increased infectiousness was due to higher viral load. New data from @NBA players and staff, with frequent sampling, suggests it's related to delayed clearance, longer duration of infections

Circadian rhythm characterized in Bacillus subtilis, the first circadian rhythm in a non-photosynthetic bacterium. Intriguing that ONLY cells able to form biofilms have robust circadian rhythms: @ScienceAdvances
