Past, present and future GRC Immunology of fungal infection chairs at the 2025 meeting. @MRCcmm
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Jay Vyas, as our new Assoc. Dean for Academic Innovation & Director of Physician-Scientist Programs at the Vagelos Institute for Basic Biomedical Science. He'll also join the Division of Infectious Diseases in @CUIMCDeptofMed. columbiamed.link/3YdlLPR
** **We are delighted to introduce Dr. Jatin Vyas as our third speaker at the conference.** 🔬 **Dr. Jatin Vyas, MD, PhD** Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, **Don’t miss the chance to hear his keynote—it's sure to be both enlightening and inspiring!**
A wonderful story on how Btk inhibition potently affects neutrophil effector activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. Kudos to Dr. Diego Vargas @OWMHepworth @HannahEBrown3 (who created the artwork below) @nolling91 and the rest of the amazing team for their contributions. 👏

What started as a clinical ? during training turned into a lifelong passion for research & education. With support of mentors, colleagues & especially my trainees, I celebrated my promotion to Professor at Harvard. I could not have done it w/o the support of my amazing fam ❤️
BTK inhibitors increase the risk of Aspergillus infections. Our new paper shows that these drugs blunt antifungal activities by neutrophils. How does this happen, and can we recover function? (1/5) insight.jci.org/articles/view/…
🍾Congratulations to Jay Vyas, MD, PhD @jmvyasmdphd on being elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science @aaas! 🍾

Good bye Chris! We are going to miss your positive attitude and initiative in the Vyas lab, but we wish you the best of luck with your new job!!
After 9 years, I have decided to step down as Program Director for the @MGHMedicine Residency. I am so grateful for the privilege to serve our residents and give back to a program that gave me so much. The faculty, admin team & residents are simply amazing. Team-we did good! ❤️
Last night we celebrated Dr. @jenreedyMDPhD's contributions to the lab and her new job with Vertex! We are excited for her next adventure and wish her the best of luck!
