Congrats to Akash Shah, MD on successfully defending his thesis! 🎉 As a gynecologic oncology fellow, Akash spent a year conducting translational research with @TheHedrickLab. "Dr. Hedrick was an amazing mentor and turned a clinician into an immunologist." #IMMCG #Research

Congratulations to @adil__rasheed for earning the  "Biomedicines" Young Investigator Award. Dr. Rasheed's research is focused on the intersection of lipid metabolism with immune cell fate and function in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 📰 - bit.ly/4tttV5h

BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research? RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, and one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget proposal was NCI BALDWIN: And that increase is less than $1 million for an institute with a $7 billion budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover the cost of one additional grant.

March is Women’s History Month and yesterday we celebrated International Women’s Day. As we take this time to celebrate the contributions of women to science, several of our researchers and trainees took some time to reflect on the women who inspired them to study the sciences.

Devadatta Gosavi recently presented his work using TIRF microscopy & sensitized FRET to investigate the spatiotemporal coordination between talin-1 & kindlin-3 to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing β₂-integrin activation & advance understanding of immune regulation.

Back in 2022, joining IMMCG as a new postdoc in a brand-new center felt like a leap of faith. Three years later, I’ve found not just great science, but also the joy of helping build a thriving community, and having so much fun along the way. To many more years! 🎉
From fewer than 20 at our first potluck to 90+ at this year’s anniversary ice cream social 🎉 IMMCG has grown so much in 3 years — in people, programs, and community. We’re proud of what we’ve built together & excited for what’s ahead! #ImmunityStrong #Anniversary

Why is the NIH investing $$ to study "transgender" mice🐭? 🤔 Let me explain 👇 🧵 TL;DR This has everything to do with your health and nothing to do with making people #transgender. #ScienceSavesLives

Let’s talk numbers. Puerto Rico is the #1 bioscience manufacturing hub in the United States. We keep hearts beating, insulin circulating and eyes focusing nationwide and around the world. We are a powerhouse of science and engineering, beyond beautiful beaches. #WorldClassExperts
