I found out this morning that my @NIH @NICHD_NIH F31 fellowship to study the biomechanics of uterine fibroids was CANCELLED.

This Thursday is where it’s at! Please join us for Immunology Research Day!

Thank you @jitcancer for highlighting my work, lab, and collaborators! @UVABME @MedicineUVA @UVAimmunology @mgbvirginia1 @RemziyeErdogan5 @UVAEngineers @UVACancerCenter

We believe a mechanistic modeling lens paves the path to rational design of vaccines and personalized therapies by providing a framework to quantitatively assess the relative contributions of regulators, kinetic bottlenecks, personal & population-level vulnerabilities. @UVABME

Here’s a deeper dive into #JITC article: “Spatial colocalization & combined survival benefit of NK & CD8 T cells despite profound MHC class I loss in NSCLC” from @sepiddsh @RemziyeErdogan5 @mgbvirginia1 @kategoundry20 at @UVABME @MedicineUVA @UVACancerCenter @UVAEngineers 1/11

Delighted to announce that our collaborative work led by PhD student Remziye E Wessel @RemziyeErdogan5 is now published in JITC! @mgbvirginia1 @kategoundry20 @UVABME @MedicineUVA @UVACancerCenter @UVAimmunology @UVAEngineers

I am designing an elective course on Systems Immunology and/or ImmunoEngineering. If you teach a similar course, know a colleague who does, or know of good resources, please message me. I would love to connect and learn from your experience! 🤗👩‍🏫🙏

Shay Ladd presented an engaging poster on Day 2 of Southeastern Immunology Symposium! Her work is supported by the CSBC cross consortium award. @SascoVirginia @NCIsysbio #SIS2024 @UVABME @UVAimmunology

Remziye continues to do amazing work toward improving maternal prenatal vaccines! Today, she presented her work on the Day 1 of Southeastern Immunology Symposium! #SIS2024 @RemziyeErdogan5 @UVAimmunology @UVABME

Iylan Howson’s summer research was on Golgi fragmentation in melanoma cell lines under Shay Ladd’s supervision in my lab, proud of both of them! She won best poster award at the UVA REU poster session & will be presenting her poster at #BMES2024 @NCIsysbio @SascoVirginia @UVABME

Grateful to the Hypothesis Fund for enabling my lab's research, and thrilled to be joining the HF community! @UVABME @UVAimmunology @MedicineUVA

Today’s the day!

Spatial analysis reveals combinative role for NK and CD8 T cells in antitumor immunity despite profound MHC class I loss in non-small cell lung cancer @RemziyeErdogan5 @sepiddsh https://t.co/iKEaQWPrOb

, and the need to devise and deploy NK-activating strategies which are likely to be key to developing highly efficacious next generation immunotherapies. Read more here: link. @MedicineUVA @UVAEngineers

…, their relationship to both tumor cells and other immune cells in the TME, and their activation status in MHC-I-disparate tumor regions. Our study highlights the importance of the dual presence of abundant intratumoral NK cells and CD8 T cells for long-term patient survival,

@UVAimmunology @UVABME We applied a systems immunology approach based on multicolor imaging of the NSCLC tumor microenvironment (spanning whole tumors, tumor sub-regions, and single-cell resolution) to investigate the presence of lymphocytes, ...

Thrilled to present our lab’s highly collaborative preprint "Spatial analysis reveals a combinative role for natural killer and CD8 T cells in antitumor immunity despite profound MHC I loss in NSCLC" with Brown and Bullock labs https://t.co/gXtzCXY7uP @RemziyeErdogan5
