Cao, Burrows, @nkg2d1 @theonlylabever et al. show that Tritrichomonas musculis-driven IgA modifies the commensal bacterial microbiota and improves the generation & dissemination of IgA-secreting plasma cells reactive against orally ingested food antigens. hubs.la/Q02Y4GM00

New research by Cao, Burrows et al. @theonlylabever @UofT identifies that a gut commensal protist is a natural adjuvant for mucosal IgA responses. hubs.la/Q02Y4N3B0 @ImmunologyUofT @nkg2d1 @JenGommerman @ParkyLab #MucosalImmunology

Very excited to share our latest work focused on hPSC-macrophages in human cardiac microtissue function, now published in @NatureCVR and featured on the cover! (@Ella_Maru) @EpelmanLab

Today marks #worldIBDday A day when we come together worldwide to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals living with IBD, and highlight the urgent need for more research to develop better treatments and ultimately find a cure.

@BoyanTsankov @ImmunologyAAI 🎉 congrats! Hope you have a great time there!

Honoured to have received an Abstract Award by @ImmunologyAAI for #IMMUNOLOGY2024! If you're interested in learning about how intestinal Teff and Tm responses develop feel free to drop by my talk at 8:45AM Sunday. Also my first AAI so looking to connect 😀

@angeanr @JenGommerman @UofT @ScienceTM Congratulations @angeanr !!!

Excited to share a big part of my #PhD work in @JenGommerman lab at @UofT, now available in @ScienceTM🎊 We find a fascinating role of BAFF in autoimmune brain inflammation🔥 What happens when your usual patrons (B cells) are gone? 🫥 Read more here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The aim of the GPSN mentorship program is to complement current academically-focused peer mentorship programs by providing a safe, reliable, and non-judgemental support network for students in Faculty of Medicine Graduate Programs to discuss their challenges.

Our executive team is currently looking for enthusiastic student leaders to fill some positions! If you are interested, please nominate yourself for a position by Sept 19th 11:59 pm by visiting bit.ly/gpsnelection.

🎉 Applications for TRIANGLE funding, training, and mentorship are now open! If you're a PhD student, fellow, or early career researcher in GI or liver, this program is going to TRANSFORM your career. Deadline: September 15, 2023 Learn more: triangleprogram.org

Solitary isolated lymphoid tissues serve as training grounds where specialized gut macrophages develop so they can contribute to intestinal homeostasis and anti-microbial defenses, finds a new study from @PhagocyticPai @nkg2d1 in mice. @UofT scim.ag/3C6

Thank you to the organizers of #emig2023 and @nkg2d1 for the opportunity to share my work at such an amazing conference! Not only was the party one that I'll never forget but grateful to meet such an awesome community of scientists. Hope to see you all again!

GPSN is partnering with CGMS for a workshop on having difficult conversations. Is there something you need to say to a supervisor, colleague, etc. and you are struggling to find a way to say it? Do you find it challenging to have an uncomfortable conversation?

Truly grateful to be part of this program with such an amazing cohort of people.
