Our lab's first paper is official! Super proud of and grateful to the team for everything that went into this project. Check out the video to learn more about how the microbiome contributes to growth and immunity during intergenerational undernutrition.

Happy to share our latest collaborative work with @kamm_lab and @ChiappinelliLab @NatureComms where targeting an epigenetic factor in tumor vasculature augments IFN response; blood vessels thus become like "honey to a fly" and permit CD8+ T-cell entry. rdcu.be/c9SFy

Boosting. Please RT and share! Looking forward to finding our next colleague. A PhD background in anything from immunology to bioanalytical chemistry to immunoengineering would be a good fit for this position. It's a very cool project, in my admittedly biased opinion. 😊
