It is an honor to share the same Alma Mater @fopcu1 with this brilliant scientist @Mah1990Abdo!

What an amazing presentation by @Mah1990Abdo! Learned so much about the importance of fucosylation for CD8 T cell function! Thanks @Chrystal_Paulos for inviting such a rising star! (Fun fact; first time to meet in-person after many yrs friendship & 40 common friends!!)

Another @WherryLab alumni reunion; @Therealbbengsch (who took me to "Paradise" 😃)! Finally visited @Uniklinik_Fr @UniFreiburg pioneer of Hepatitis Research! Met many colleagues, young minds, mentor (#RobertThimme), & had great sci discussions! Thanks a lot BB for the invite!

As Gaza licks its wounds and burys its dead, it is time for accountability. Every war criminal shall be brought to justice. Every lost soul shall be remembered, and every crime shall not be forgiven. Gazans lost their homes, mosques, schools, streets and gardens. #GazaCeasefire

Was great meeting a @WherryLab alumnus! Thanks @BeltraJc for the invite and great organization!

Had a blast catching up with postdoc sci partner @BeltraJc! Stay tuned for great science from BeltraLab! Thanks to the amazing @UniBasel_en Immunology community for insightful discussions on @HakeemLab_Emory projects!! Visiting beautiful Switzerland was a plus!

I was really inspired by my visit to #MARC Egypt! A pioneering research endeavor by #EvaPharma ... Great potential for the Immunology/Virology team under the leadership of @azizrk ... looking forward to many future collaborations!

Special thanks to Dr. Sameh Ali & Dr. Nermeen Mostafa for the great organization!

Great honor & pride to be invited to visit @Hospital57357 (One of the largest children cancer hospitals in the Middle east! Completely built by donations!) ... I was impressed by the level of research conducted there! Brilliant scientists and promising young minds!

Thanks to everyone who made it despite the challenging timing! @nourtan @HebaAAttia

Many events wrapping 2024 ... in retro order ... An amazing nostalgic visit to my Home & Alma Mater @fopcu1 @CairoUniversity ... So humbled to discuss our results with several of my Professors who taught me more than 25 years ago! And excited to meet many colleagues/friends!

1/17 To my academic colleagues who have not found the courage to speak out against genocide, but instead have decided to focus on their research. Maybe you think its not your place. Maybe you worry about the risks to your career. This 🧵 is for you, i do hope you will read it.

Exciting @EmoryPathology Seminar by Dr. Luigi Buonaguro @ModelliMM from @istitutotumori on promising antigens for anti-cancer vaccines! ... Turns out he is not only a great scientist and presenter, but also a great music performer!

This week it was a great pleasure to meet promising future scientists @CancerBioEmory through the LGS-EDGE program @laneygradschool @EmoryUniversity

Great @EmoryPathology Seminar by @DecaluweHelene today on manipulating IL-2/IL-15 pathways in Tex for immunotherapy! Awesome to have one of @UMontreal Superstars visiting @EmoryUniversity ... and one name (@BeltraJc) kept getting mentioned all the time!!!😃

This is what over 3,000 heroes for hope look like. Let’s go! #winship5k

Inspired to see thousands at the @Winship5k this weekend! All came to raise money & awareness for our fight against cancer! Thanks @WinshipAtEmory @emoryhealthcare @EmoryUniversity for an amazing organization! Happy that I represented @PATRU_Emory @EmoryPathology with #AlexFlegle

Amazing behind-the-curtains event sponsored by @EmoryUniversity @EmoryMedicine @emoryhealthsci with @AtlantaSymphony! Thanks @CarlosdelRio7 and #RaviThadhani for a great evening!

... and the support of my amazing mentors and colleagues at @PATRU_Emory, @EmoryVaccineCtr and Emory at large, and the hard work of my great colleagues in @HakeemLab_Emory ! *Correction: I have co-authored 13 papers since joining Emory in 2021

All Praise to ALLAH ... humbled by selection to be honored on Emory Researcher Appreciation Day 2024 among spectacular Researchers @EmoryUniversity !! Wouldn't have been possible without the leadership of Dr. Guido Silvestri and Dr. Rafick Sekaly @EmoryPathology ... 1/2
