Using engineered immunity and synthetic immunology to investigate the underlying mechanisms of antibody-mediated treatment and prevention of infectious disease.

Proud to share our latest paper on SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and the variants that have emerged (and continue to emerge). Bottom line is the latest versions of the mRNA boosters are doing a pretty good job of keeping up with variants. https://t.co/fxEyPhDnlj

Roederer et al. examine how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolves over time and how well updated vaccines protect against variants. Variants of the virus are becoming harder for vaccine-mediated humoral...

Wonderful collaborative paper with the @DouamLab looking at SARS-CoV-2 infection in humanized mice!
New pre-print from the lab🥳🥳!! Amazing team effort between @DouamLab, @BalazsLab and Christelle Harly's group in Nantes. Congrats to @DevinKenney10 for spearheading the work.

Take a look at our new Giotto Suite spatial analysis platform and preprint! So grateful to work with such an amazing team. We started working on this massive project when I started my lab at @BUMedicine and @The_BMC in August 2020. Amazing collaboration with @gc_yuan lab.
Dear spatial afficionados, check out our latest contribution to the spatial data analysis landscape. In this work we present Giotto Suite, our completely new ecosystem designed to work with the most exciting and challenging spatial datasets.

The great @rmgiadone wrote a paper! That's how I know it'll be good.
Online now (@ISA_Amyloidosis)! S/o to @sabrina_ghosh for her hard work during the pandemic (this was her UNDERGRAD❗️thesis)! HUGE thanks to the 🐐 mentor @DrGJMurphy for letting me play junior PI (my first (and hopefully not last) senior author paper🥸) https://t.co/ljBie1qyMO
