We had a lot of fun with this one - Lymphatics meet B cells with @carlanowosad.bsky.social @nyulangone.bsky.social 👇 Sometimes less is more

Led by then graduate student Taylor Heim with help in revision from Ochapa Ibrahim! CXCR6 is on all of our TRM...why?? We think because it plays an important role in managing antigen encounters in tissue and successful transition to memory.

We are putting together an exciting program with fresh perspectives and new biology!! Come join us next year in Portugal! @DelgoffeLab @Joshilabyale 🪐⏳

Congrats to Gaby Berman, officially a Nowosad Lab PhD candidate!!

Congratulations to Dr. Karakousi!! An amazing defense and a bright future ahead!!

As 100 days in office comes up, let’s focus on the next few months:

Trump is trying to stop spending at NIH to justify cutting the NIH budget. Every US scientist should be in contact with their Congressional reps about this.

Get grants and money out the door soon or the money goes away.

We all know how much the microenvironment matters!

So grateful that the #TME field has so many fantastic - and supportive - women leaders 🙌

How cuts at the National Institutes of Health could impact Americans' health Cuts and layoffs to the National Institutes of Health threaten medical research around the U.S., agency insiders warn.

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

2025 Federal Financial Assistance Freeze On Monday, January 27th, 2025, President Trump issued an order to freeze virtually all of approved and legally required federal funding.
