Alyssa Lantz, Ph.D.

The professor today in class asked us to put in the chat every time we heard his dog bark to make sure we are paying attention. What a great day in class

Board Certified Surgeon in Austin, Texas is whistleblower on US Health Insurance Companies She was just PULLED OUT OF SURGERY while her patient was asleep and forced to speak with UnitedHealthcare who tries to cancel patients inpatient stay after surgery who has CANCER “It's 2025 and insurance just keeps getting worse” “I've never had this happen before. But during the second deep, I had a phone call into the operating room saying that UnitedHealthcare wanted me to call them about one of the patients who was having surgery” “So I scrubbed outta my case and I called UnitedHealthcare and the gentleman said he needed some information about her, wanna know her diagnosis and whether whether her inpatient stay should be justified. — I was like, do you understand that she's asleep right now and she has breast cancer?” “It's out of control. It insurance is out of control. I have no other words.”

The Baxter Lab at @txbiomed featured in Texas Monthly! Women in STEM are cool

@Jenna_K_Dick Congrats! Super cool to see very interesting results of research I was very curious about

Excited to have some of my thesis work out! We show that myeloid and NK cells are dysfunctional in MIS-C which may contribute to immune pathology! journals.aai.org/jimmunol/artic…

Was all about ggplot during my PhD and then I had to learn Prism… it’s not as adjustable as ggplot but so easy once you know how to use it. My graphs are so much prettier now! Needless to say new post doc position is going very well

New BSL2 and BSL3 lab shoes… Just call me a fashion icon💅🏻

How I feel PRing my half marathon, but realizing how much I have to get done in three weeks

I work hard, but imposter syndrome works harder

Had an amazing time stepping in as the alum speaker at the Stupka Undergraduate Research Symposium back at my alma mater! It was my first time presenting at the symposium and I had so much fun presenting some of my dissertation work. Stupka will always be a special place ❤️🧪

@callistosp Yea, and the grad school accepts courier. Would be kind of funny to use courier

@lantz_alyssa Times New Roman. Embrace the boring

The hardest decision for my dissertation: what font to use

One. More. Experiment. I am so close

@YingboHuang @huang_lab Congrats Yingbo!! You are gonna do great things!🎉 Harvard is luck to have you

Finished ☑️🥹🍾👨‍🎓 So many people to thanks, my advisor Stephanie @huang_lab , it’s an incredible privilege to work under your guidance. I feel very lucky and grateful to be able to join your lab. The cozy PWB basement is always my home.

Finally making progress on something that I have been troubleshooting for what feels like 10 years feels so good
