Excited to announce the upcoming 2026 Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity GRC and GRS meeting taking place July 12 - 17, 2026 at Waterville Valley in New Hampshire. This meeting will be chaired by yours truly and co-chaired by @SunnyShinLab grc.org/microbial-toxi…

Honored to receive the 2026 ASBMB Ruth Kirschstein Award for Maximizing Access in Science. @RTAatPennMed @Penn_CBIO.

@bradylabupenn @RTAatPennMed @Penn_CBIO Congratulations Donita! 🎉

@bradylabupenn @PennMedicine @Penn_CBIO @RTAatPennMed Happy 10th lab anniversary! 🥳

🎉Brady Lab is 10! A decade of discovery & growth. This milestone belongs to the incredible trainees, generous collaborators, supportive colleagues, & steadfast friends & family who’ve fueled our journey every step. On to the next chapter @PennMedicine @Penn_CBIO @RTAatPennMed 💙

#NoTimeToDie! @SunnyShinLab Vasques &co show @ASMicrobiology journal that dendritic cells (#DCs) die upon encountering Legionella initially via caspase-11 dependent pyroptosis & later on by effector-triggered apoptosis, restricting Legionella replication! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

@ClareBryant13 @jkagan1 Congratulations Clare! So well-deserved! 🎉

What a week: I was lucky enough to get an ERC Advanced Grant, a Wellcome Trust Discovery award, and my fab colleagues at Inflammazoom nominated me for this BSI award. Thank you so much x.com/britsocimm/sta…

Congratulations @Ipiricyao and Eugene Rudensky for publishing this story! Big 🙏to NIH for making this work possible. Here’s a brief summary of this fascinating finding about a gene variant that YOU🫵most likely have 1/n kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

Looking fwd, I am honored for this privilege of returning to MSK, working w immense talent to advance their mission of ending cancer. Looking back, I am indebted to Penn, all my colleagues, and to the organizations supporting the research of all who tirelessly share this mission.

@andyjminn Congratulations Andy! We will miss you at Penn, but I’m excited for you! MSK is lucky to have you!

Congratulations to I3H members, Susan Weiss, (Vice Chair and Professor, @PennMicro), Dennis Discher (Robert D. Bent Professor, @PennEngineers), and our other esteemed Penn colleagues on being elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. 👏

CHOP & @PennMedicine have delivered the first-ever personalized gene editing therapy for a patient with CPS1 deficiency, marking a major milestone in the application of CRISPR-based treatments. Learn more about KJ & the future of personalized medicine: ms.spr.ly/6015SZLAx.

”If I get an award, I have an opportunity to thank people. I also thank the people who tried to make my life miserable because they made me work harder and become more resilient.” Next week, our podcast returns with conversations featuring our 2024 laureates. In the meantime, have a listen to one of our favourite episodes from last season with 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó: bit.ly/3yQkJQN

Trump terminated $1.8B in science funding in 40 days. A loss of ~$4.6B in future economic activity. Means a higher fraction of new discoveries will be overseas. We'll be buying our future drugs from other countries...and, oh - they'll have tariffs on them. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

@metaBailism @mikelhaggadone @henricksonlab Congratulations Dr. Goldspiel on an awesome thesis defense and Will on successfully guiding another student through their PhD! Such a pleasure to collaborate together with both of you!

A huge thank you to Brian’s partner in crime @mikelhaggadone and the world’s best collaborator @SunnyShinLab on this work, along with the rest of his committee: @henricksonlab, Mark Goulian, & Ed Behrens

The best start to a week: @BrianGoldspiel’s phenomenal thesis defense today. For the last 5 years, it’s been a true joy getting to know the brilliant, multi-talented person Brian is. His infectious passion has transformed the lab and he’ll be deeply missed. Could not be prouder🥲

Brian Goldspiel (@BrianGoldspiel) in the @metaBailism lab defends his thesis tomorrow!

Congratulations to @kkariko (@PennNSG), Virginia Lee (@PennPathLabMed), @EJohnWherry (@PennSysPharmATT) & Mark Devlin (@physatpenn) on their election to @theNASciences! tinyurl.com/5eehdtms
