So proud of @EastonFord11 - you deserve all the accolades!
So proud of @EastonFord11 - you deserve all the accolades!
This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov
Want to join the amazing team we've been growing @BMGUofL1 ? I can't say enough about how fantastic it is to work with @TheLovelyLab @ctwatson29 and the rest of the department. Apply below and DM me with questions! Please amplify! t.ly/yimva
This is why I love my lab...
Attending the @uofl MD/PhD program retreat. Science is amazing, sunrise over the bluegrass landscape... even better. @StevenPJones @e_engelbrecht1 @stevennadakal
Next up: Kara Gouwens, AHA-awardee, is presenting her newest project in the Hill Lab. She’s always thinking outside the box.
This weekend, some of the Center’s MD/PhD students are at their retreat. Right now, Dan Nguyen (F30-awardee in the Hill Lab) is presenting one of his projects. And, in typical fashion, he is killing it.
So excited and proud to congratulate my first student @EastonFord11 on the successful defense of his PhD thesis. Introducing Dr. Ford! @BMGUofL1
Great way to end a long week. Thanks to my team and collaborators, particularly @EastonFord11 and @ctwatson29 who have made the move to @uofl four years ago the best decision I've ever made!
Honored to participate in #PRISMBangkok, hosted by @PacBio The enthusiasm for inclusive #immunogenomics research was wonderful. Excited to build collaborations around the world! Biscuit felt so welcome.
.@SmithLab_UofL : better immune rep databases are necessary. Current state of databases are horrible…population-specific genomic references needed for better mapping. TCR genotype implicated in vaccine and drug responses. @PacBio #PRISMBangkok
We are still looking for the perfect person to lead the @UofL_STC into the future of genomics. We are a research genomics core, so get ready for lion, tiger, and bear (genomes), oh my! Please amplify! DM me for further information and/or apply here: tiny.cc/oejdyz
Thank you @airr_community for letting me share our work in Porto 🇵🇹 yesterday! @SmithLab_UofL @ctwatson29
Thank you @airr_community for letting me share our work in Porto 🇵🇹 yesterday! @SmithLab_UofL @ctwatson29
Check out our new publication about reproducible analysis of adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing data: academic.oup.com/bib/article/25…
Come see our #AAI2024 poster today to find out how we are leveraging long reads in antibody repertoires to address questions in autoimmunity. Board605! @SmithLab_UofL @ctwatson29
Morning run and morning coffee ✅ Ready for #AAI2024 day 3! Make sure to check out my lab mates posters on IGL (board 733) and IGH (board 725) genetics today 🧬! @ctwatson29 @SmithLab_UofL @olrodriguez_
louisville.edu/graduate/stude… Could not be more proud of @EastonFord11 ! I'm going to take this chance to brag on him a bit before he becomes Dr. Ford in a few months!
Very excited for what's next!
New AIRR-C seminar, this time on IG germline gene diversity! antibodysociety.org/the-airr-commu…. Thursday, March 28. 1600 CET. Direct registration link: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…. Speakers: @SmithLab_UofL and Oscar Rodriguez.
