@StonyBrookID @LuisAMarcosID Pleased to share our study on discordant QFT-TB testing in our low incidence setting that has both local and global implications for measurement of Mtb-specific immunity.

We are pleased to share our new publication linking TRAV1-2 negative MAIT cells, CD4 coexpression, and tuberculosis. A conserved innate-like T cell subset with more TCR diversity than previously appreciated. academic.oup.com/jimmunol/advan… #Immunology #maitcells #TCRdiversity

Congrats to postdocs Rimanpreet Kaur and Atul Pradhan in the @CharlesVorkas lab on their recent publication in @SciReports "CD8α marks a Mycobacterium tuberculosis-reactive human NK cell population with high activation potential" 👏

We are pleased to share our new publication identifying human CD8a+ NK cell populations reactive to Mtb exposure and infection. We believe this is timely data in light of IV BCG vaccination studies in macaques demonstrating CD8a+ lymphocytes are critical for Mtb control.

💫 Congratulations to @etcarey2 @stonybrookID 1st place winner for Research at the @NewYorkACP Annual Scientific Meeting, incidence of tick-borne diseases in NY state for the last 10 years 👏 #IMProud

The fantastic @CharlesVorkas lab @StonyBrookID @StonyBrookMed 👏

@Immuno_Mike @CellsMait @StonyBrookMed @BSheridanLab @CharlesVorkas Thank you for visiting us! I had a fun time talking about starting a new lab, science, outreach and everything you do!

It was a pleasure to present our work on @CellsMait at @StonyBrookMed & have engaging discussions with @BSheridanLab @CharlesVorkas @devarajan_priya & the other faculty & trainees!

Great meeting with Peruvian team at IDWeek2024. Collaboration is key to success in clinical translational research (Emerging Tropical Diseases/Immunology/Global Health/Climate change). @IDWeekmtg @SPEIT_oficial @CasapiaMartin @AlexisHolguinR1 @LAPAHSTropical #IDWeek2024

Our fantastic team at #IDWeek LA! @LuisAMarcosID and our fellows @IDWeekmtg 👏

This week’s research in progress with @CharlesVorkas @sbudeptofmed @stonybrooku

Congratulations Rimanpreet Kaur @CharlesVorkas lab for winning best abstract, postdoctoral category, at the @sbudeptofmed research symposium @stonybrooku: “Host Immunity during acute human babesiosis: Single-Cell Transcriptome of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells” 👏

Congratulations to Professor David Thanassi on being awarded $1.9 million from @NIGMS. The SUNY Research Foundation is proud to support your work at the @stonybrooku Renaissance School of Medicine. renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/mi/program/fac… #SUNYResearch #SUNYImpact
