If you want to do cutting-edge research that directly impacts patient lives AND work with an amazing mentor, this is your chance! The Amankulor lab @PennNSG @PennMedicine is looking for postdocs

@zel_zhang @UCLANsgy @EmadeJaman @NdukaAmankulor @PittNeurosurg @PennNSG @NSTumorSection woot woot! Well worth the wait :)

Proud to help #JasonKim @UCLANsgy take this project across the finish line! It was a team effort with @EmadeJaman @Innately_Immune Video abstract by @NdukaAmankulor vimeo.com/666056811 @PittNeurosurg @PennNSG @NSTumorSection

Adoptive cell therapy: Living drugs against cancer. Tamara Laskowski and Katayoun Rezvani @MDAndersonNews discuss recent advances in #AdoptiveCellTherapy in #cancer. bit.ly/396tVSf

All the discussion about vaccines and immunity has me going back to read this article by @edyong209, which hilariously explains the mind-boggling and paradoxical facets of an immune response. For anyone who feels Immunology is complicated - worth a read! theatlantic.com/health/archive…

after months of muttering under my breath at people in the supermarket I’ve finally cracked

Translating #Immunometabolism: our Review Series put together by @SarahDimeloeLab & @ClaudioMauro6 considers the role of immune system metabolism in pathogenesis & potential treatment of #inflammation, #autoimmunity & #cancer Read all 7 reviews for free 👉buff.ly/2ZV0mMf

In a phase 2 trial, outpatients with #COVID19 who received a single infusion of a 2800-mg dose of the neutralizing antibody LY-CoV555 had a greater reduction from baseline in viral load than those who received placebo.

Excited to share our latest work reviewing „The Many Functions of Foxp3+ Regulatory T cells in the Intestine“ in @FrontImmunol #Treg @MicrobioCharite frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@PittNeurosurg @NdukaAmankulor @UPMCHillmanCC Well deserved ... Congratulations!!!

Congrats to Nduka Amankulor on being named a 2020 Hillman Clinician-Scientist Fellow for Innovative Cancer Research for his discovery of novel immune escape mechanisms in IDH mutant glioma and overall excellence as a leading brain tumor surgeon. @ndukaamankulor @UPMCHillmanCC

"They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy" It is rare for the scientific community to take a political stand. But there is no better time to do so than when politics, not science, dictates pandemic response

Unconventional T cells called MAIT cells are recruited to the airways and strongly activated in patients with severe #COVID19, @karolinskainst, @CIM_Sweden scientists found, suggesting the cells’ involvement in the development of disease: fcld.ly/8lxqjw5

@NdukaAmankulor @PittNeurosurg @UPMCHillmanCC 😅

@Innately_Immune just revealed her identity on Twitter😂. Aparna Rao: until recently was the pulse of my lab and a terrific post-doc. Keep an eye out for her many transformative findings which are currently being loaded unto the publication train. @PittNeurosurg @UPMCHillmanCC

"A significant proportion of patients who develop life-threatening forms of Covid-19 have genetic or immunological defects that impair their ability to fight the virus, research has found" @Primary_Immune theguardian.com/world/2020/sep…

@NdukaAmankulor @zel_zhang @PittNeurosurg @NSTumorSection @PittMedAlum Things have come full circle!

Great to have my guy ⁦@zel_zhang⁩ back in the lab. Zel was a major part of the early Amankulor lab days and is back for his Nsgy residency research. He will be a force in Neuro-Oncology for long time. ⁦@PittNeurosurg⁩ ⁦@NSTumorSection⁩ ⁦⁦@PittMedAlum⁩

Another critical way that structural elements of lymph nodes can regulate the #immune cells housed within their walls, according to @WeillCornellGS, @HSpecialSurgery scientists: fcld.ly/atm9vmb #immunology
