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

Increasingly, scientists believe that genes, and not necessarily good habits, determine who lives past 100. But which genes?

Our new study suggests that #centenarians (those who live >100 yrs) have elite immune systems that may function to avert disease and promote #longevity! @CReM_Boston @BUMedicine @The_BMC @DowreyTodd

Great opportunity to work on exciting science with a fantastic group of people!
Our lab, along with the Mulhberger lab and @Crittermechanic lab, is recruiting a post-doc to study Nipah virus infection @neidl @BUMedicine. If you want to work on henipaviruses in a BSL-4 lab, using cool ipsc-derived systems and humanized mouse models, please reach out.

Proud and excited to share our paper on the different capacities for IgG subclass to prevent HIV transmission which is now online! https://t.co/tGvAJi5lcI The overarching message is that broadly neutralizing antibodies can drive innate immunity to help prevent HIV transmission.

IgG subclass affects the efficacy of antibody-mediated prevention of vaginal HIV transmission in humanized mice.
