I am excited to share our @NatureComms paper describing the structure of #LAG3 bound to MHC-II. This project was carried out by @SuperMQQ et al at @MoffittResearch and provides new insights into the mechanism by which LAG3 suppresses T cell activation.

I’m not sure where the right place to report this is (@CityofTampa @cot_traffic). The traffic light timing is malfunctioning at the left turn from Fowler to Bruce B Downs. There is a massivebackup and it’s only turning green for ~5 seconds at a time.

My first PhD student, Elliot Medina, defended his thesis today! And as an added bonus, he got a job offer during his Q&A session! . Elliot is an absolute wizard of a protein engineer. I could not have been more fortunate to have him as employee #1 in my lab @MoffittResearch

Very cool paper from Marta Borowska in the Garcia lab @Stanford_MCP. They drew inspiration from adenoviral immune evasion to engineer CD45-targeting proteins that suppress T cell activation.

New research from @Stanford_MCP describes the structural mechanism that enables #adenoviruses to escape immunity by targeting #CD45 on T cells. Read more in Science #Immunology:
