Jain Lab @ CCHMC

Great presentation and discussion today at @CincyChildrens immunology forum! Exciting to see such engagement around our work with insightful questions, thoughtful feedback, and inspiring ideas for whats next

📢 New preprint on host-directed therapy for TB meningitis. Screening 12 immunomodulators across mouse models, human brain organoids, and patient PBMCs identifies candidates that reduce neuroinflammation and improve survival. 🧠🦠 researchsquare.com/article/rs-869…

📢 New paper alert! Adding clofazimine to the standard TB regimen markedly improves bactericidal activity and reduces brain inflammation in a TB meningitis model, pointing to a promising adjunctive strategy. academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…

🧠🦠 Our first paper of 2026 is out! This study shows why looking beyond rifampin matters for TB meningitis, highlighting rifapentine and rifabutin as promising alternatives to improve outcomes. Read here 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1093/infdis…

Shoutout to @XueyiChen and @MedhaSingh_18 for presenting their #TBResearch at the #IDWeek2025! One’s sharing insights via oral presentation, the other with a poster session🦠👏 Huge congrats to both on receiving the travel award!

Wrapped up an incredible conference with well-deserved awards 🏆 Congratulations @CarlosERuizGo and Mona for their student travel award, and @XueyiChen for her poster select award👏

Warm congratulations to Mona on delivering a compelling oral abstract presentation at #WMIC2025 👏🏻

Huge congratulations to @CarlosERuizGo for delivering an excellent oral presentation at #WMIC2025. Very clearly presented and sparked great discussion. Well done! 👏

Congratulations to @XueyiChen on having her poster selected for presentation at #WMIC2025! An insightful and well-delivered showcase of our research

🚨 Just wrapped up an insightful talk on Molecular Imaging in Infectious Diseases at #WMIC2025! Emerging imaging tools are paving the way for faster, more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments

The Blue Journal thanks Yuderleys Masias-Leon for her contribution to the July issue Dynamic 11C–Para–Aminobenzoic Acid Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography for Visualizing Pulmonary Mycobacteroides abscessus Infections @SanjayJain_Lab tinyurl.com/mbn3tzb2

Dynamic 11C–Para–Aminobenzoic Acid PET/CT for Visualizing Pulmonary Mycobacteroides abscessus Infections 11C-PABA PET can differentiate M. abscessus infections from underlying pulmonary disease @SanjayJain_Lab @HopkinsKids @atscommunity 🔓 Open Access tinyurl.com/23ym8sb7

🚨New paper out! We demonstrate that 18F-FDS PET enables noninvasive, whole-body detection of invasive mold infections. A step forward in diagnosing life-threatening fungal disease 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share that our work is featured in the July edition of AJRCCM @ATSBlueEditor! Grateful to have @YuderleysMD leading this work with an incredible team on this effort. Check it out here: atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

🚨 New study out in @ATSBlueEditor: PET imaging can distinguish Mycobacteroides abscessus infection from sterile inflammation—offering a noninvasive diagnostic tool for vulnerable patients with underlying lung disease 🔗 atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Great way to wrap up @SNM_MI with @CarlosERuizGo research on using FDS for advanced fungal imaging! Exciting strides in visualization and diagnostics—stay tuned for what’s next. 🔬🧫

Huge congrats to @YuderleysMD on her fantastic presentation at @SNM_MI on using PABA for NTM imaging! 🧪✨ Cutting-edge science pushing boundaries in infectious disease research. Well done!

Congrats to @CarlosERuizGo on the incredible presentation on FDS PET for mold infections in patients at @SNM_MI! Your work on this groundbreaking imaging tracer is truly game-changing in molecular imaging. Excited to see this advance transform diagnosis and patient care 👏🏻

I’m deeply honored to receive the 2025 Walter Wolf Young Investigator Award at the SNMMI Annual Conference! This recognition marks an important milestone in my early career in radiology and molecular imaging. A huge thank you to the amazing team at @SanjayJain_Lab @SNM_MI
