Excited to share our research on optimizing phospholipids in artificial lipid droplets (aLDs) for better delivery in vivo 🐟 🐭 . Even to the BRAIN 🧠

Kudos to @timetogoz.bsky.social and @ebony-monson.bsky.social for this milestone paper! Superstars⭐

Happy #IWD2025 to all the wonderful women in STEM, and to our male colleagues that support us πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

Diversity is so important in science and I'm very lucky to be part of a group that celebrates this!

Molecular determinants of cross-strain influenza A virus recognition by Ξ±Ξ² T cell receptors TCR-peptide-HLA ternary structures define molecular mechanisms of TCR cross-reactivity toward natural influenza variants.

Ever wonder how #Tcell can adapt to so many #influenza strains that can circulate and protect us?
Check out some of my beautiful structures just published in #science #immunology @science.org
