Our latest work on endogenous retrovirus-mediated protection against vaginal HSV-2 disease is now published! Co-first authors Radeesha Jayewickreme and Tianyang Mao. A quick 🧵on our findings: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

So excited to be a part of this important study led by Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 on how significant longterm neurologic damage can occur after a mild respiratory-only SARS-CoV-2 infection. My own🧵on the findings of this study with relevance to #longCovid (1/) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Vaccines that reduce infection & disease are needed to combat the pandemic. Here, Tianyang Mao Benjamin Israelow et al. describe our new mucosal booster strategy, Prime and Spike, to induce such immunity via nasal delivery of unadjuvanted spike vaccine 🧵 (1/) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


🚨looking for postdocs!!! 🚨 join us at our new, Yale School of Medicine Neuroimmunology group! We are looking for postdocs to examine all things involving brain and ocular immunology. PLEASE TAG anyone you think would be a great addition to our team!#neuroimmunology #braintumor #ophthalmology


We need your help for some crucial #LongCOVID research! If you live in the New York area, have FULLY recovered from COVID-19 infection and it has been AT LEAST 12 weeks since you were first sick, please email us at [email protected] Putrino Lab RT highly appreciated 🙏🏼

So excited to launch the new Center for Infection & Immunity Yale Center for Infection and Immunity at Yale School of Medicine!! This center will investigate fundamental mechanisms of infection and immunity that hold key to better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of wide range of diseases. (1/) medicine.yale.edu/cii/




Sincere thank you to many of you who reached out to President Donald J. Trump and @WHCOVIDResponse in support of our efforts on nasal booster vaccine 🙏🏼 I will be speaking at the White House Summit on Future of COVID-19 Vaccines on July 26. RSVP to join via livestream: pitc.zoomgov.com/webinar/regist…
