The Vyas Lab

Past, present and future GRC Immunology of fungal infection chairs at the 2025 meeting. @MRCcmm

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Jay Vyas, as our new Assoc. Dean for Academic Innovation & Director of Physician-Scientist Programs at the Vagelos Institute for Basic Biomedical Science. He'll also join the Division of Infectious Diseases in @CUIMCDeptofMed. columbiamed.link/3YdlLPR

** **We are delighted to introduce Dr. Jatin Vyas as our third speaker at the conference.** 🔬 **Dr. Jatin Vyas, MD, PhD** Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, **Don’t miss the chance to hear his keynote—it's sure to be both enlightening and inspiring!**

A wonderful story on how Btk inhibition potently affects neutrophil effector activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. Kudos to Dr. Diego Vargas @OWMHepworth @HannahEBrown3 (who created the artwork below) @nolling91 and the rest of the amazing team for their contributions. 👏

What started as a clinical ? during training turned into a lifelong passion for research & education. With support of mentors, colleagues & especially my trainees, I celebrated my promotion to Professor at Harvard. I could not have done it w/o the support of my amazing fam ❤️

We are excited to share our recent review article focused on pathogen-derived extracellular vesicles in host immunity! Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.vesi…

BTK inhibitors increase the risk of Aspergillus infections. Our new paper shows that these drugs blunt antifungal activities by neutrophils. How does this happen, and can we recover function? (1/5) insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

🍾Congratulations to Jay Vyas, MD, PhD @jmvyasmdphd on being elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science @aaas! 🍾

Cover image???!!! 🥳 Science goals achieved (for now) 😏 Thanks @NatureMicrobiol for highlighting our work!

1/ So proud of this major group effort! Check out our new publication in @NatureMicrobiol exploring the mechanism by which extracellular vesicles from the fungal pathogen Candida albicans rewire innate immunity.

Check out our recent publication on the role of Candida extracellular vesicles in type I IFN signalling in host macrophages!

Good bye Chris! We are going to miss your positive attitude and initiative in the Vyas lab, but we wish you the best of luck with your new job!!

After 9 years, I have decided to step down as Program Director for the @MGHMedicine Residency. I am so grateful for the privilege to serve our residents and give back to a program that gave me so much. The faculty, admin team & residents are simply amazing. Team-we did good! ❤️

Last night we celebrated Dr. @jenreedyMDPhD's contributions to the lab and her new job with Vertex! We are excited for her next adventure and wish her the best of luck!

Register now for #MycoTalks 28 September: @jmvyasmdphd : The Role of the cGAS/STING Pathway in innate immunity to C. albicans and @chitinette: Targeting the fungal cell wall us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Congratulations @jmvyasmdphd!

Congrats @NatJAlexander!! We are so proud of you!

How many scientists fit in one cold room? We kicked off the week with a deep cleaning session of our cold room!
