Excited to share that our paper examining how GM-CSF potentiates cytokine responses in human monocytes during bacterial infection is now online at the @asm.org journal Infection & Immunity! Congrats to @vvazquez.bsky.social, @mikelhaggadone.bsky.social, & co-authors! journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Bluesky post

I’m very excited to share a preprint of the bulk of my thesis work in @sunnyshinlab.bsky.social where we investigate how dendritic cells respond to Legionella pneumophila

My first first-author pre-print from my PhD is live! What pathways control GM-CSF-mediated antibacterial responses in human monocytes? Read more to find out! Special thanks to my mentees for their contributions and my PI @sunnyshinlab.bsky.social for her endless support 🥳
