Honored to be an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation! @the_asci physician scientists are not a dying breed- we’re alive and kicking- and working on growing more! We will summit together! #thefutureisbright 💪

🚨We’re excited to spotlight a new publication from the FOCIS community—and that their research image is featured on the cover! 📝 Beta cell–targeted PD-1 agonist inhibits cell-mediated autoimmunity in pancreas tissue slices zurl.co/AbMBQ

Honored to present the results of our research on #myositis at GCOM Lisbon @DrOlivierBoyer

Gervais, Trespidi, Ferrari, Rovida, Cobat, Zhang, Casanova, Borghesi et al. show that, in 13 European, Middle-Eastern, and American cohorts, pre-existing autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs are causal for WNV encephalitis in about 40% of patients. hubs.la/Q046JZ5J0

@HsiehElena @FOCISimmunology @Focis_FCE Terrific! FCEs contribute to advancing immunology through training and excellent courses. Congratulations to the UC team and all FOCIS speakers from different centers.

What a great scientifically and demographically diverse group of trainees/learners at our first FOCIS Advanced Course in Basic and Translational Immunology at University of Colorado!! #thefutureisbright @FOCISimmunology @Focis_FCE

Day 1 of the FOCIS 2026 Advanced Course is underway! Great turnout as we kick off this year’s course in a new location — Aurora, CO. Looking forward to a great week of learning and collaboration. 🧬

🎉 Congratulations to the 2026 Advanced Course Travel Award recipients! Their hard work has been recognized, representing Colorado, the U.S., and institutions around the world. We’re excited to celebrate their achievements in Aurora, Colorado! 🌎👏 #FOCIS #FOCISAC2026
