@DelgoffeLab @Nature @CellCellPress Congratulations

The world is full of odd happenstances. On the same day our paper on postprandial metabolism dropped @Nature, my 1st grad student, Nicole, published her postdoc paper at @CellCellPress! An incredible tour de force studying proteostasis in T cell exhaustion cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@Lo_Zanzi @dfrboehmer @ArtistInScience @kjena21 Way to go Zanoni team! So exciting

Check this out, excited to see the very final version of our Review on type III #interferons finally out! @dfrboehmer @ArtistInScience @kjena21 Sara Svensson Akusjärvi 👇👇👇 doi.org/10.1146/annure…

CASP5c “the movie” is now playing in the April 30th 2026 issue of @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

#discovery from my lab @Nature! 3 isoforms of caspase-5, long known for #inflammation & #celldeath, exist in human #gut. CASP5C uniquely amplifies Wnt to nurse transit-amplifying cells supporting #homeostasis & #regeneration. Implications for #IBD & #CRC nature.com/articles/s4158…

@LabWaggoner @Nature @WeillCornell Thanks for highlighting the work!

Back from @NCICAPIT Summit! Honored to contribute to designing vaccines for cancer before it emerges. Patient advocates Jenny Ahlstrom @HealthTree, Erica Krischner @lifraumeni & Robin Dubin @Alive_And_Kickn reminded us why this research matters #CancerPrevention #Lynchsyndrome

The three CAP-IT U54 centers presented updates on their research progress. Drs. Vivek Mittal @mittallab and Julie Magarian Blander of @WeillCornell highlighted efforts from the CAP-IT Center for LNP nucleic acid cancer immunoprevention.

Just back from a fantastic visit to @scrippsresearch Huge thanks to my host Sergio Catz. Loved the outdoor lunch with his team and beach dinner with Sergio, Renan de Carvalho & Hugh Rosen. Great meetings with Darrell Irvine, David Nemazee, Hal Hoffman, Ben Croker & John Teijaro!

Secret Santa with our incredible lab family; thoughtful gifts, fresh popcorn, homemade cookies, laughter, and holiday cheer. Wishing everyone a joyful season full of rest, peace, and time with loved ones. Happy Holidays!

Thrilled to announce that my postdoc, Chongbo (Bob) Yang, is a Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Research Fellows Awardee! Bob turns "impossible" into "inevitable" breakthroughs. Bob investigates how dendritic cells respond to RIPK3-driven inflammatory cell death. @CrohnsColitisFn

Good news shouldn’t wait, but it’s been a hectic work-heavy summer. I am delighted and honored to be among the Kenneth Rainin Foundation 2025 Innovator Award Grantees. Thank you to @KR_Foundation for supporting our work. krfoundation.org/our-work/healt… krfoundation.org/news/health/ov…

Thrilled to see two of my former postdocs, ⁦⁦@gaetanbarbet⁩ and Johan Garaude, shining on the speaker list at the French DC Society Biennial Meeting ⁦⁦@institutpasteur⁩ ! Proud of their amazing work! #Dendriticcell #ProudMentor #postdocs

@QueensCam @Cambridge_Uni @elerianm @ClareBryant13 A big heartfelt congratulations to you, Clare!

Many congratulations to Professor Clare Bryant, Queens' Fellow and Professor of Innate Immunity at Cambridge University, on being elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences! 🧬👏 @Cambridge_Uni @elerianm @ClareBryant13

Working with a great team to organize @KeystoneSymp #Inflammation Resolution: Concepts, Mechanisms and Disease, this October! Join us to explore emerging research in Whistler! keysym.us/KSInflammation… #KSInflammation26

Thrilled for Johan Garaude’s new work in Nature! I’m proud to see this Blander lab alumnus shine. His group shows bacterial cAMP accumulation signals death, fueling macrophage recycling—a fresh live-vs-dead immune twist. Stellar work with huge impact! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Grateful to have our newly published work in @NatImmunol highlighted by @WeillCornell. Honored to contribute to the amazing research happening here. news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2025/01/i… #Medicalresearch #cancer #immunology #inflammasome #oncogene

Macrophages help tumors grow, but what about early on when transformed cells first arise? Macrophages may collaborate with cell-intrinsic barriers to transformation in ‘oncogenic monitoring’ of tissues. Curious? A hypothesis full text here till 2/15 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kKoc3OeyGLK…

Great way to start the New Year with our new publication. We asked if the innate immune system protects against cancer in premalignant stages of disease. First coauthors Andrew Kent and @kristel_yee say YES: nature.com/articles/s4159… @NatImmunol #Immunology #inflammasome #cancer
