Today, Priscilla Del Valle (left), and Begoña Vila (right) met each other in the Roman Space Telescope launching. Priscila was the first rotation student I had in the lab. Dr. Vila is one of those human beings that it is impossible not to admire and I met thanks to @comunidadecusa.bsky.social.

Excited to share that our latest work has been published in ImmunoHorizons! We describe the generation and characterization of a Pglyrp1-Cre knock-in mouse model and reveal site-dependent differences in Cre activity across mucosal tissues.

Tuberculosis and the Fatal Beauty of Romanticism | ASM.org
Dying for beauty: Tuberculosis (TB) shaped the Romantic ideal—delicate, ethereal and tinged with mortality. Examine how TB influenced Romantic Period fine arts and how that influence is felt today.

I am excited to share that our latest work is now available as a preprint on BioRxiv. In this study, we describe and characterize a Pglyrp1-Cre mouse model and uncover previously unappreciated heterogeneity among Pglyrp1-expressing cells across mucosal lymphoid tissues. #MucosalImmunity #MouseModels

Last week, my rotation student completed her 8-week stay in the lab. It was a genuine joy to mentor such a bright, curious, and motivated scientist. We spent a lot of time discussing science, research paths, and what it means to grow as a scientist. 1/2

Excellent article about the challenges and opportunities of nasal vaccines. Airway transmitted diseases like SARS-CoV-2, influenza, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis cause millions of cases and deaths around the world. #Science asm.org/articles/202...
Nasal Vaccines and the Future of Immunization | ASM.org
Nasal vaccines trigger both mucosal and systemic immune responses to protect against respiratory infections. However, developing them requires overcoming barriers inside and outside the nose.

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.
