Double congratulations for Shika!! Well deserved award 👏👏

Mammary intraepithelial lymphocytes and intestinal inputs shape T cell dynamics in lactogenesis Nature Immunology - Here Ramanan and colleagues provide an analysis of mammary T cells during late pregnancy and lactation. This revealed an increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes in the lactating...

Delighted to finally see this story out - Congratulations to Shika and the rest of the team!
We helped show that gut T cells migrate to the mammary gland during late pregnancy and lactation to help turn it into a mucosal tissue.

Screenshot of NIMH BRAINS funding opportunity. The expiration date is now before the next application due date.

NIH moved up the expiration date for some funding opportunities, effectively *canceling* the next application date without removing it from the standard table. I can't even imagine how many people are still prepping these grants.

Congratulations Mary!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Schematic of potential complexes that form between TAM receptors and apoptosis cells or viruses at the cell surface

Our lab is excited to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the mechanisms that viruses use to ‘hijack’ TAM receptors in viral spread. We are looking for someone who is excited to learn new techniques and work in a highly collaborative team! Please share!

yayy it’s out! Way to go Jess 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congratulations!!! And sorry about your loss.

I have a wonderful scientist in my lab who is looking to move to Europe. Is anyone looking for a staff scientist? She has a PhD. She is particularly in her element doing field work. Great skills with rodents and very open to non-rodent positions as well.

Please send leads, please amplify!

The Galvan-Pena lab is hiring a postdoc! If you know of any PhD students who will graduate soon or have recently graduated, and are interested in gut immunology and systemic effects of the microbiome - please send them my way!
