Love #Tuberculosis Research Reboot at #KeystoneSymp. Great to see so many colleagues and hear about their amazing research. Curious whether others got this souvenir T-Shirt? #COVID19
By far, the most accurate representation of machine learning pipelines in the real world 🍿 😀
Amazing postdoctoral opportunity to study host mycobacterium tuberculosis interaction

Looking for a postdoc position? The Behar lab is recruiting! I can’t really think of a better place to learn about Tb immune responses, or someone better to learn from! He even managed to teach me 🤣

First time posting on BioRxiv. PhD student Jean-Yves Dube 'deconstructs' Freund's adjuvant (mycobacterial cell wall), develops wholly synthetic combination of molecular patterns to produce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Comments welcomed biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Hi everyone, I am looking to hire at least one, and maybe two new postdocs for funded positions in my lab. A background in immunology is strongly desired. Check out my ad at ScienceCareers jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/501185/pos…
My paper is up on @biorxiv! First preprint from @BeharLab. Proud of the work our team and collaborators have put together. #Immunology #tuberculosis
