I'm extremely happy to share that I was awarded 1st place 🥇 in the last workshop as a PhD student, held by the Graduate Program in Pharmacology (FMRP/USP). Thank you to all my friends and collaborators. I extend this achievement to all of you 🫀🤩👨🏻‍🔬

Fresh in @NatureCVR 👇 rdcu.be/eJ2Ez A work of ❤️‍🔥 by Masahiro & friends shows how autoantibodies lead to atrial fibrillation. This has translational potential as B cell depletion is established clinically. Need to find out which patients make those bad antibodies!

I am excited to bring these insights to my research journey and future collaborations! #Immunology #Bonn #Germany #science #newfriends

I am deeply grateful to the ImmunoSensation Cluster of Excellence - University of Bonn 🇩🇪 and the Immunology Frontier Research Center (IFReC) 🇯🇵 for making this enriching experience possible and for fostering an environment of knowledge sharing and collaboration. 🧵

Last month, I had the great privilege of participating in the 4th International School for Advanced Immunology. This week was filled with inspiring lectures, scientific exchanges, and the opportunity to learn directly from renowned researchers and brilliant young scientists 🧵🪡

Interferons in health and disease. Excellent review article. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… #immunology

🚨 Excited to share that our latest study on the role of inflammatory activation in endothelial cells during the infarct response is now published in Circulation Research! Huge thanks to all co-authors especially Lukas, Till, Simone, and Ariane for driving this project forward.

@PilarAlcaidePhD @umiamimedicine @univmiami @SylvesterCancer @TuftsMedSchool @TuftsUniversity Con”heart”ulations Prof Pilar 🤩 I wish the best for this fantastic group that I miss every day! 🫀

Exciting news! The Alcaide lab officially relocated @umiamimedicine @univmiami @SylvesterCancer & is ready to thrive in this vibrant collaborative environment!#cardioimmunology positions available. DM & Stay tuned. Thx @tuftsmedschool @tuftsuniversity for an incredible journey.

Thank you for creating an environment where I could learn, grow, and truly feel at home. I carry your energy and care with me as I adapt to this new routine. I am grateful beyond words! 🫀@PilarAlcaidePhD @AbeBayer @erinZsanders @MariaAntoniaZ97 and other lab colleagues 🫶🏼

You taught me so much about science, yes, but also about how to be generous with your time, patient with your guidance, and joyful in your daily life… 🧵

It’s been three weeks since I left the Alcaide lab where I did my PhD internship, and I still think about it every day. I miss the joy during experiments, the thoughtful mentoring, the kind contacts, and the genuine support I received from each person there. 🧵 @TuftsMedSchool

👏 Congrats to TUSM's Pilar Alcaide, recipient of the 2025 ASIP Outstanding Investigator Award! A leader in immunology and pathology, she’s being recognized for her research, teaching, and mentorship. 🔗 Read more: ow.ly/Xg8050VO9Nu
