Cellular Immunologist especially interested in analyzing antigen-specific T cells. Professor at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle.
A study from the lab of @evnewell.bsky.social looks at the immune response to multiple myeloma. It turned out the most interesting thing was what they didn’t find: T cells that had already recognized and tried to fight off tumor cells. Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40163891/
Our collaborator @evnewell.bsky.social + others outline a new approach to identifying tumor-infiltrating #immune cells from spatial #transcriptomics. They explore cell segmentation methods . @nature.com @hutchinnovation.bsky.social #ImmuneSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

FHIL loves working with the Srivastava Lab! Their work explores factors enabling CAR-T response to checkpoint blockade in solid tumors. Infiltration of CAR-Ts was assessed spatially with a Xenium custom panel including probes targeting the construct and lung tumor. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share my graduate work from the @ejohnwherry.bsky.social lab on the molecular mechanisms locking in the differentiation fate of exhausted CD8 T cells (Tex), published earlier this month in @science.org immunology. Main findings below! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Continuous expression of TOX safeguards exhausted CD8 T cell epigenetic fate
TOX safeguards exhaustion biology in established Tex cells and restrains fate conversion to Teff cells.

Happy to share our new collaborative work! 🚨 We analyzed 2250 TCR repertoires to uncover how HLA risk alleles shape immune autoreactivity in T1D. T1D-specific HLA-motifs were also validated in pancreatic lymph nodes (pLN) & spleen. 🧬🧵 #T1D #Immunology #TCR 1/9

NiCo is out! Our new algorithm for spatial transcriptomics data analysis predicts the crosstalk of cell types co-localized in tissue niches and sheds light on signalling mediators and downstream effects of cell-cell interactions by inferring covarying gene programs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
