MIT Biology PhD student in Spranger Lab - cancer immunology | Duke University 2019
Boston, MA
Joined November 2016
When applying for faculty jobs, Stefani Spranger was drawn to MIT by the environment of @MITBiology and @kochinstitute, which offered the chance to collaborate with a large community of engineers who work in the field of immunology

Excited to share our review that’s now out in @SciImmunology. We describe how DC-T cell interactions in lymph nodes specify CD8+ T cell fates and sustain anti-tumour immune responses. @stefanispranger @kochinstitute |

DC–T cell interactions during priming influence CD8+ T cell fate, and DCs subsequently sustain T cell responses against cancer.

Check out the new review from the groups on how DC shape anti-tumor immunity. We focus on the lymph node interaction as well as the restimulation of T cells in the tumor! https://t.co/IL3hIa2IIM

In 2008 at @ClintonGlobal, @Water began with the simple idea that everyone should have access to safe water. Now, it supports access to water or sanitation for more than 63 million people. Onward! #WorldWaterDay
⚡️ Quick question for @Water.org’s Matt Damon and Vedika Bhandarkar… 🌊 How does your team "keep going" in the fight to provide safe water for all?

New issue online! This beautiful cover depicts work from @stefanispranger, Zagorulya &co looking at how local environmental factors in the tumor-draining mediastinal lymph node impact the quality of anti-tumor immunity. Art by first author Maria Zagorulya https://t.co/iS9PMIzfss

Thrilled to share a pre-print of our latest work on developing a next-generation AT2 organoid system to model lung adenocarcinoma. Thank you to all the contributors! @santi14563 @LabJacks @kochinstitute @MIT (🧵 1/5) https://t.co/wNqYvdUXPl

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common histological subtype, accounts for 40% of all cases. While genetically engineered mouse...

Brendan Horton (@blhorton) is the first author on a new paper out today in @SciImmunology! Horton and a team from @stefanispranger's lab reveal why some tumors resist lung cancer therapies — and offer a possible solution. Reporting by @GVD__: https://t.co/jVSVSZOddm

Fantastic talk by Maria Zagorulya about how DC-Treg interactions limit CD8+ T cell priming in lung cancer! The Spranger lab is well represented at #sitc2021 #sitc21 @stefanispranger @kochinstitute @sitcancer @sitcancerECS

Holding exams when Maharashtra has the highest number of coronavirus cases in India is utterly irresponsible. Imagine 1000s of students taking the Virar fast - and then sitting in a crowded hall. It takes just ONE infected student for us to go from 32 cases to 320. #CoronaIndia

Our paper is finally out! We show that engineered guide RNAs, with a hairpin secondary structure, modulate the activity of diverse CRISPR systems. Give it a read: https://t.co/TuAjncj6Yl
