@AmericanCancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow in the Damania lab at @UNC; PhD @EmoryUniversity; MS @UNCWilmington. Virologist, immunologist, and cancer biologist
Chapel Hill, NC
Joined June 2019
This was one of the best experiences of not only my scientific career, but also of my life. I can’t thank @ACS_Research enough for providing their trainees with this amazing opportunity! @jacksonlab @JAX_Education @AmericanCancer
Another amazing year for Jax Labs Workshop on the Techniques in Modeling Human Cancer in Mice! This year was EXTRA special with the @AmericanCancer-@jacksonlab partnership that enabled us to send 3 @ACS_Research fellows to the course: @maria_c_white @just_mich_rend Rachel Lex.

Thank you to @AACR, @AmericanCancer, and @CRC_AACR for supporting our work from the @DamaniaLab at @UNC_Lineberger ! I had a great time at #AACR24 and meeting all the wonderful people involved in these organizations @ACS_Research @ACSNews #lymphoma #CancerResearch
First author Maria C. White is pictured alongside her poster. Read the article published simultaneously at #AACR24— Inhibition of NEK2 Promotes Chemosensitivity and Reduces KSHV-positive Primary Effusion #Lymphoma Burden. https://t.co/cqcvHacaIm

Newest publication out of the @DamaniaLab on how targeting the mitotic kinase, NEK2, makes viral lymphoma more susceptible to chemotherapy and results in #lymphoma cell death. Full open-access article below!
Just published: Inhibition of NEK2 reduces KSHV-positive primary effusion lymphoma burden. Check out the #AACR24 poster presentation in section 25, board 12! https://t.co/cqcvHacaIm

I fully agree that the single best action individuals (and governments) can be taking to reduce impact of the Omicron wave is to get booster dose if already vaccinated and to get vaccinated if not. 1/14

There have been a number of overview threads on the emerging variant designated as @PangoNetwork lineage B.1.1.529, @nextstrain clade 21K and @WHO Variant of Concern Omicron. I'm not going to attempt to be comprehensive here, but will highlight a few aspects of the data. 1/16

The old adage, “Infectious Disease Knows No Borders, is still true today!” The only way to stop new variants from emerging is to vaccinate everyone and prevent the virus from continuing to mutate. #VaccinesWork

The European Union might halt air travel from places where a new coronavirus variant detected in South Africa had spread, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, ahead of a meeting of the 27 member states' envoys to decide the matter https://t.co/QYvUFBtbRc

The human brain is incredible. It’s capable of both engineering a life saving mRNA vaccine and deciding that anti-parasitic cattle paste is a better option. Just unbelievable range.

CDC: "We need to increase vaccine uptake in young adults." Virologists: "Agreed. The 18-30 demographic needs to understand how contagious this virus is." CDC: "We'll compare it to something they'll understand. Let's say it's like Chickenpox!" Virologists:

Today I’m excited to give my first ever @AmerSocVirol presentation! If you’re interested in HSV, type III IFNs, or just like to see photos of mice, come by the Pathogenesis workshop (W39) today at 2 and see what I’ve been up to in the @LazearLab!

The Karst lab has a postdoc position available to investigate the pathogenesis of a novel murine norovirus. Distinct virulence properties, receptor usage and microbiota interactions - so much interesting science to explore! Email with CV if interested: skarst@ufl.edu
