Excited to head to Japan in November to present at the CSHA meeting on Immunoreceptor Signaling and Therapeutic Applications.
Abstract deadline is next week!

Starting off the year with a glorious encounter between two Brazilian screen queens: Fernanda Montenegro, the unforgettable star of CENTRAL STATION, meets Kleber Mendonça Filho discovery Tânia Maria, a pistol in THE SECRET AGENT as Dona Sebastiana. Love this so much.
Hopefully a nudge in the right direction

BREAKING NEWS: a government watchdog confirmed the Trump administration is breaking the law by blocking NIH funds.
How many kids with cancer or grandmas with Alzheimer’s have to get closer to death while crucial research is stalled?
Trump must end this illegal funding freeze.
Thank you for the contribution of all co-authors! And the great review process at Immunity! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...
Our paper is out! Check out this beautiful story where we uncovered that the costimulatory molecule ICOS is detrimental for PD-1+ CD8 T cells.
Sustained ICOS signaling reduces memory-like features of progenitor exhausted CD8 T cells in chronic viral infection and liver cancer.
NY state friends, please do this today!
The Governor’s State of the State is tomorrow, January 13 at 1:00 PM. We are hopeful she will announce the Empire Biomedical Research Institute (EBRI).
Email the Governor and your Reps!
