This paper is really my #1! My 1st publication and the 1st paper for the lab. It's an honor to be the 1st grad student in Nik Joshi and to take the journey with 1st postdoc Martina Damo (and the whole lab!) on this foundational work - can't wait to see what the future brings!

“NINJA” is a new tool for creating tumor cell lines with inducible neoantigen expression, which will help researchers study antitumor immunity. Read the study by Koch Institute at MIT, Brittany Fitzgerald, Martina Damo & Nik Joshi via Nature Biotechnology: go.nature.com/3giXNf2

Apparently the Rock had Covid. Now I’m concerned that he will be unable to smell his own cooking.

#designamask Fun activity, thanks BioRender! Help stop COVID-19 in style 😅 Nik Joshi I want to see yours.

God rest ye merry scientists No lab work you dismay Remember all those eppendorfs Will still be in your bay If you take off a short weekend To mark the holiday OHHHH tidings of comfort and joy

So happy to see part of my thesis work out. Lots of sweat and hard work! Extremely grateful to my coauthors in the Crews and Rosen labs and specifically to Craig for all the support! Craig Crews Kusal Samarasinghe nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congratulations Giorgia Foggetti and @politikaterina!

Grim chuckles listening to Nov'19 interview with Dan Carlin...17:00 starts discussing potential for new pandemics- could "modern medicine react so quickly that it contains a terrible pandemic before it becomes [one]"? Nick Gillespie reason podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6L…

It is so important to expand and continue this. Please join!!

Excited to see this Online in Science Immunology describing a reservoir of stem-like T cells in draining LNs. Congrats to Kelli Anne and colleagues in Cui Lab (Weiguo Cui) and Krishnaswamy Lab and Zhao lab. Thanks also to Yale Cancer Center for highlighting our work. yalecancercenter.org/news-article/y…

Very excited the work from Brittany Fitzgerald published describing the KP-NINJA lung adenocarcinoma model. This improved model addresses some of the key drawbacks to the existing KP model that used lentiviral means to program tumors to express neoantigens.🧵 cell.com/cell-reports-m…

markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencie… This seems just as good as all the other advice I've been given about which crypto to invest in tbh

HELLO! Our latest story is now out online Cell showing tumor neoantigens with B cell-epitopes promote B cell-TFH interactions and IL-21 that drives CD8 T cell effector function in tumors. Congrats @cancuiyale, Joe Craft, and our co-authors! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

You did it @cancuiyale Nik Joshi!!! I got to see this develop over the years and this was an absolutely heroic effort from Can. Well deserved spot in Cell today.

My lab is recruiting postdocs! If you are interested in human immune disorders, gene discovery, and/or mechanistic dissection with mouse models, please reach out to discuss joining our team. RT appreciated.

Excited to announce publication of our Annual Reviews of cancer on mouse models for cancer immunology. Congrats to Kelli Anne Brittany Fitzgerald Martina Damo for authoring this work! annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…
