So pumped to announce that I will be starting my lab at UCSF, at the sunny Mission Bay campus, doors opening in April 2023! We will be studying the design principles that allow mammalian innate immune systems to evolve robustly to deal with the problem of rapidly evolving viruses.

If you’re interested in joining for the ride, please DM or email me for details. Stay tuned for more updates as website and job postings roll out.

I will be joining some incredible colleagues in the Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology department @UCSFcmp, as well as the other basic sciences departments @UCSF, and I can’t wait to join the community and see where the science takes us!.

And lastly a huge shoutout to my informal mentoring network, especially @RauchLab, @tera_levin, @MollyOhainle, @kvnforsberg, and the @LeadingEdgeSymp, #HannaGrayFellows, and @InterSciFellows communities, whose support and advice kept me going through COVID and more.

Thanks to my many fantastic trainees – including @SDelBanco, @candiceleilani, @afeez_sodeinde, @caro_line_, @rechelgeiger, @BougiePhD, and Elise Adamson – for your scientific help, for molding me into a better mentor, and for teaching me the joy of trainees spreading their wings.

I am so excited to take this next step, and I can’t give enough thanks to those who helped make it possible, especially my mentors @HarmitMalik, @memerman, @russellevance, @bartonlab, Dave Morgan and @jaymellies, who showed me how to be an excellent AND nurturing scientist.

Besides our scientific focus at the interface of biochemistry, evolution, and antiviral immunity, the Tenthorey lab will heavily emphasize mentoring and training in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Please come join the team – we are looking for contributors at all levels!.

By characterizing the evolutionary routes that innate immune proteins can take towards successful defense, and how viruses counter-evolve to escape, we will determine the relative robustness of their evolutionary landscapes and find out how hosts biochemically “see” viruses.

How DO innate immune proteins, which unlike Abs/TCRs are invariant within a particular host, cope with viruses’ amazing ability to mutate and escape defenses? What strategies can help the host level this unfair evolutionary playing field? We aim to find out!.

On top of all the other reasons that today’s overturn of Roe v. Wade is incredibly disheartening, let me add an additional factor I didn’t know of until my pregnancy: the physical toll of carrying to term, regardless of what happens after, can be IMMENSE.
