Overcoming lung cancer immunotherapy resistance by combining nontoxic variants of IL-12 and IL-2: buff.ly/3QnwKnp @stefanispranger @MITBiology #Immunology
Check out our latest work published today @ScienceAdvances!! A great collaboration with people at the NCI RAS Initiative @FredNatLab. We explore the mechanism by which RIT1 mutations, found in cancers and Noonan syndrome, activate the Ras/MAPK pathway. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Thrilled to announce my latest review has been published in Nature Reviews Immunology! In our review, @kepauken and I tackle how tissue and tissue factors are critical in shaping T cell differentiation and function in the context of viruses and tumors!
Our lab is on the cover of Immunity!
I'm attending this event. RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 …action-first-gen-summit.heysummit.com #firstgen
Excited to have been selected as one of the 2022 BBA Rising Stars in Biochemistry and Biophysics 🥳 ⚗️ 🦠🧫
Great opportunity to do some seriously cool immunology right here! 👇

My first job posting is up! jobs.mdanderson.org/search/jobdeta… If you want to come work with me on immunology in lung cancer, please apply! Also please retweet! More postings to come soon.
Why does the IL-15Ra have a domain called the Sushi domain? 🤔 #immunology
