Mini golf to celebrate my promotion to associate professor. Grateful to the past & present trainees that made this possible!

It was a pleasure to co-host @belkaidlab.bsky.social from @pasteur.fr with Shika Ramanan @salkinstitute.bsky.social. Great dinner conversation with @johntchang.bsky.social & Ananda Goldrath!

Research from Assoc. Prof. @mikerobe.bsky.social's lab identifies a probiotic-based solution to antibiotic-linked MAIT cell depletion. In preclinical models, pairing necessary antibiotics with a riboflavin-producing gut bacterium restored MAIT cell development during a key early-life window.

For @mikerobe.bsky.social, science is more than a search for answers—it’s a chance to guide others along the way. In a Q&A with Scripps Research Magazine, he shares how he mentors young scientists and studies innate immune cells that protect barrier tissues like skin and gut.

LeBlanc, Sobel, Constantinides et al. @scripps.edu show that antibiotic treatment in early life can deplete riboflavin-synthesizing commensals & impair #MAIT cell development, rendering adult animals more susceptible to bacterial #pneumonia. rupress.org/jem/article/... #Microbiome
