Congratulations to Diane Mathis, Ph.D. (AAI ’99), who was named the inaugural winner of the Menarini Prize for Outstanding Woman Immunologist: iuis.org/news/menarini-… #womeninscience #womeninstem #immunology

Diane is such a supportive mentor to me and many others. I learned so many things during my time in her lab. Congratulations, Diane!

Really humbled to receive the AAI ASPIRE Award from The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) . Big thanks to all my mentors, colleagues, and lab members for their support and hard work. I look forward to seeing everyone at #AAI2024

Had a great time at #AAI2024 with the lab. Saw a lot of old friends and made many new friends. Great job of my student Cody Elkins for giving a fantastic talk at the major symposium. Also want to thank AAI The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) and Akiko Prof. Akiko Iwasaki for the ASPIRE Award!

Lab dinner at Birmingham for the upcoming Southeastern Immunology Symposium!

We all know our body temps change in fever & inflammation, but we rarely model it the lab (just setting incubators to 37..). There is much more to it! Congrats to Darren Heintzman for this epic effort & new T cell stress response with STING & p53. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I had such a great time at Seoul for #Cytokines2024. Met many old and new friends. The keynote from Dr. Weissman is so inspiring. Thanks to ICIS 🦋 @cytokinesociety.bsky.social again for the Regeneron New Investigator Award. This is my first ICIS meeting, and for sure there will be more to come!

Had a fantastic meeting at Cold Spring Harbor Asia on Immune Tolerance at Suzhou with an amazing keynote from Hongbo Chi. Thank ChuanWu_Lab and other organizers for putting together a great conference.

Happy to write this preview with my student Cody Elkins, highlighting an important new study by Catherine Lu's group published Immunity on the role of tertiary lymphoid structures in Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a severe chronic inflammatory skin disease.

Had a few things to celebrate with the lab this month. Very happy to work with a fantastic group of people for the past year. Happy holidays!
