@alphagal_info @AlphaGal_RES @USMArtsSciences @SouthernMiss Mississippi researchers investigate growing tick-borne allergy to red meat rhcjcnews.com/?p=2264

We are excited to announce the launch of the first Biology of Vector-borne Diseases (BVBD) Online Course organized by the Institute for Health in the Human Ecosystem - University of Idaho. This course is scheduled from March 30 to May 8, 2026 @ui_IHHE

The Department of Pathobiological Sciences at LSU is looking for a new department head/chair. Please see below: lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/LSU/job/Veteri…

Check out our new work. @SouthernMiss frontiersin.org/journals/cellu…

It's also found in the saliva of some ticks. When a tick bites, it can transfer alpha-gal from its saliva into a person’s blood. AGS symptoms can include mild to severe allergic reactions about 2-6 hours after a person consumes an alpha-gal containing product.

A big thanks to @RepDerekSchmidt for cosponsoring the Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act, which would add alpha-gal to the list of major food allergens. Thank you, Congressman Schmidt, the alpha-gal community could not be more grateful!

@RangachariL @pnas @Malay_mandol Congrats!

I am thrilled to share our latest article, just out in @pnas. Exceptional work from @Malay_mandol, who demonstrated that our redox-sensitive designer biomolecular condensates efficiently deliver a wide array of molecular cargo. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Great Job - Great Colleagues - Great Science👍 Help us pick the next generation of @HHMINEWS Investigators, Freeman Hrabowski Scholars, Hanna Gray Fellows, Gilliam Fellows Relocation to DC is required, perfect for academic PIs looking for their next chapter hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/H…

Excited to share new preprint! This work is the result of a fantastic collaboration with our colleagues @USDA. Huge thanks to Oeth et al., for their invaluable insights and contributions that made this study possible. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to announce our new work in collaboration with USDA ARS – Thad Cochran Southern Horticultural Laboratory. Acute bee paralysis virus regulation of microRNA expression dynamics in the insect host (Apis mellifera) cell line, AmE-711 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@VirusesImmunity @brangwynnelab Congratulations!🎉

I’m overwhelmed with profound gratitude. I became the first female Japanese scientist to receive the Keio Medical Science Prize in its 30-year history 🙏🏼 #KeioMedicalSciencePrize #WomenInSTEM #Immunology Also, huge congratulations to @brangwynnelab! nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO…

Our department @LSU_BioSci is hiring an Assistant Professor in Neurobiology. Our department is amazing - come join us... lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/LSU/job/0202-L…

🔥 Thank you for spotlighting Alpha-gal syndrome, @CDCgov. For more info, check out this fantastic interview on our podcast with leading expert, Dr. Scott Commins: youtu.be/hU6TGkjHw0c?si…

Don't play Russian roulette. I can't tell you how many people have told me they can eat pork or venison, only to text me from the ER a few months later after reacting to it.

The lone star tick is inducing a red meat allergy known as alpha-gal syndrome. This fascinating article details the discovery, which linked the allergy to a cancer drug reaction. A growing Force Health Protection concern as the tick's range expands. the-scientist.com/the-alpha-gal-…

As the lone star ticks geographic spread increases, so too will the cases of Alpha-gal syndrome “mammal meat allergy”.

Doing any research that could help tackle #NewWorldScrewworm? 👀 Consider contributing to a publication! .@EntsocAmerica 🪰🐮🐴🐕🐑🐖🪰 Submit a proposal to participate by SEPTEMBER 19! 📆 More info 👉🏼 entsoc.org/publications/c…

Every state should be tracking Alpha-Gal. Great job Virginia! #TicksSuck

🚨 Shocking news from Martha’s Vineyard: “Last year, out of 1,254 tests for Alpha Gal, 523 came back positive, according to lab data from Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. This was a stunningly fast rise from 2020, when only 2 out of 9 tests were positive.” 💣
