Excited to share our new preprint! We use somatic mutations to show how a central principle of adaptive immunity - clonal selection - shapes innate immune memory to viral infection. A huge thanks to all co-authors and collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Millions of PBMCs have been analyzed by scRNA-seq. Have we seen it all ? We profiled thousands of single PBMCs — proteomes and transcriptomes side by side — and uncovered functional coordination undetectable in the deepest scRNA-seq we could perform. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… 1/

The academic year has just started, and it's time - roll call for all new #cancer PIs who just started their labs! Please say hi and what you work on (or drop your lab website) so I can follow you if I don't already! 😃 #NewPI

We've been quiet, but we've been busy! Delighted to share that in recent weeks we have received 3 NIH R01s to continue our studies of adaptive immunity in the gut! As such, we are recruiting post-docs with strong interests and expertise in mucosal immunology and (1/3)

Exciting possibilities for immunotherapy in HIV: doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.… Andrew J. McMichael @GMAGillespie & team @UniofOxford used a high-affinity modified HIV-1 peptide to prime HLA-E restricted T cells, inhibiting HIV-1 replication in vitro. The figure: AHLA-B*57:01–restricted TCR transductants (AGA1) exhibited antiviral activity. #HIV #Immunotherapy

Why is empathy with tall people so difficult? (6ft4)
As a personal rule I recline on long flights (4.5 hours or more) but not on shorter ones. But I also don’t get mad at recliners. The seats recline! No one is being sneaky. Why are we mad at people for using the seat the way it was designed?
