UMass Chan Program in Innate Immunity
@UMassChanPII
We are a group of Innate Immunity researchers at UMass Chan Medical School studying immune defenses & inflammation in health and disease.

Tune into @Chronicle5 tomorrow to hear from our own Dr. Roberto Caricchio on the topic of CAR T cell treatment in lupus nephritis! #Rheumatology #Lupus

We invite members of the UMass community to join us today at noon, in person and via Zoom, for our Medical Grand Rounds titled, "Vitiligo Treatment from the Iron Age to the Age of Biologics: New Hope for an Ancient Disease," featuring Dr. John Harris. We hope to see you there!




UMass Chan Medical School researcher Victor R. Ambros, PhD, shares the 2024 @NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for his co-discovery of microRNA, single-stranded RNA molecules that play a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation: direc.to/mmJ6 #NobelPrize


Victor R. Ambros, PhD, @UMassChan's Silverman Chair in Natural Sciences and professor of molecular medicine, has won a Nobel Prize. Media: Email UMassChanCommunications@umassmed.edu for news conference info and interview requests. #NobelPrize #BreakingNews #AdvancingTogether

The 2 papers began with 1 question: “What regulates the immune response in C. elegans?” The studies reveal broad implications for understanding pathogen detection in higher animals and evolutionary origins of immunity itself: umassmed.edu/news/news-arch… @UMassChan @UMass_Medicine

Stoked to share our companion stories, now out in @ImmunityCP and @CellReports! We characterize an enzymatic TIR protein as an immune sensor in animals, showing that it is a guard protein in an effector-triggered immune response. cell.com/immunity/fullt… cell.com/cell-reports/f… 1/
