Lucie Rodriguez-Coffinet, PhD

Thrilled to announce the next chapter of my academic journey! Honored to begin my postdoc as a Wallenberg fellow at @Stanford University, joining Dr. Bali Pulendran’s lab. Eager to contribute to the groundbreaking research happening here! @StanfordMed @KAWstiftelsen #Vaccinology

Two-layer defense system: (1) Innate barrier blocks most pathogens at entry (2) Anything that slips through faces "warp-speed" adaptive response in 3 days (vs. normal 2 weeks!) Vaccinated mice stayed healthy while controls got severely sick. (6/8)

Results in mice: 3+ months protection against: SARS-CoV-2 & other coronaviruses, Staphylococcus aureus (hospital infections), Acinetobacter baumannii (drug-resistant bacteria), and House dust mite allergens. 700-1000x reduction in viral load! (5/8)

Our paper investigating EBV role in SLE is out in @ScienceTM @ScienceMagazine For decades, Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) has been associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus (SLE), yet how this common virus contributes to autoimmunity has remained a mystery!

A groundbreaking paper by @younis_sh1 et al. @stanfordimmuno provides an answer to the long-standing question about how EBV infections are linked to lupus. A short thread to explain the key findings. (1/) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Oliver et al do it again!

A new Review explores the mechanisms underlying inhibitory immune checkpoints and suggests that a deeper understanding of these nuances could improve checkpoint-based cancer #immunotherapies. Learn more in Science #Immunology: scim.ag/4myNhBy

I am pleased to mention that our AI-driven multi-omics ME/CFS paper is now freely available in full text on PubMed. All data have also been deposited on GitHub. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…

What I love about interferons is their simplicity ;-) But seriously a great @CellCellPress new review of IFNs that are our 1st line of defense vs infections and critical for many inflammatory an autoimmune diseases. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

New #breastmilk research from the @CHILDSTUDY: how a maternal antibody in milk prevents an allery-promoting microbe from colonizing the infant gut. Exciting transnational work from @Kate_Donald_ & team!
