A new #mRNA-LNP approach can target and reprogram cytotoxic effector T cells in vivo in preclinical models, highlighting the potential for future treatments against infection, cancer, and autoimmunity. @angelarcorrigan @BettsLab @WeissmanLab

hello i published this paper today
proud of this one - it truly turned out cooler than even the most optimistic version of myself thought it would when the project started
also i'm defending in 2 days so if you don't feel like reading just come hear me tell you about it! 🙂
New paper out of the lab today from @karenwong1013 - we show that a subset of growth factor-responsive gene activation requires the nuclear kinase MSK2, which phosphorylates H3K9me2S10 at enhancers of these responsive genes prior to their transcription.

New work from us. Identification of functional resident memory CD8+ T cells against SARS-CoV-2 in tonsils collected prior to the pandemic. The same type of responses are not found in blood. Location matters! science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…
I came so close to being famous last week! I am the “Doc” he referred to in the audience during his speech. I speak, I get heckled. He speaks next and gets in Newsweek. Maybe next time I will wear my Gritty costume. newsweek.com/dad-school-boar…
More great work from the Penn COVID research team! Deep immune profiling of MIS-C demonstrates marked but transient immune activation compared to adult and pediatric COVID-19 immunology.sciencemag.org/co…

Very excited that our paper on pre-existing cross-reactive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is out now in @CellCellPress! Here is an excellent summary of our findings by @SCOTTeHENSLEY. Grateful for being able to do team science during a pandemic @PennMedicine
1/ Our paper showing that ~20% of humans possessed non-neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic was published today @CellCellPress.

Pleased to share our co-authored report that resulted from a collaboration between nPOD (UF) and HPAP (UPenn) contradicting the original findings by Hamad et al. TCR /BCR dual-expressing cells and their associated public BCR clonot... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
After a year in review at Cell, finally have this published! Congrats Alberto!

Congratulations to the entire team here for a 5 year long project that will redefine how we think about CD8+ T cell immune surveillance!
