Happy to have been part of this work with Karen Hastings and team at the Univ of Arizona quantifying the impact of structure on neoAg immunogenicity. Kudos to @chadbrambley.bsky.social and the others for their awesome work. Look for modeling to improve neoAg prediction!

I had a blast presenting our work on T cell mimotope discovery! A huge thank you to @epivax.bsky.social for hosting such a great meeting and inviting us to speak. I don't want to leave Rhode Island!
Super postdoc @chadbrambley.bsky.social killing it at the AI/HI Immunoinformatics workshop, telling us about finding molecular mimics of antigenic epitopes. Thanks to @epivax.bsky.social for the invitation and opportunity!

It was a cold and snowy one, but today we stood up for science! The fight is just beginning though, don't let them dismantle OUR research.

Ok, I've GOT to share this one. Genius might be a tad strong, but who am I to refute my boss haha
I am so excited. Small victories - find joy where you can. Preliminary data for the grant. @chadbrambley.bsky.social is a genius. Big errors because these are log scales, but still.

Can NOT believe we pulled it off in regulation! #GoIrish #NotreDame
NOTRE DAME IS ONTO THE CFP TITLE GAME AFTER A GAME-WINNING FG 🍀

The Fighting Irish are back in the national championship game for the first time since 2013.

Marcus Freeman might just be the smartest coach in the game. This was a fun one!

Notre Dame gets 13 wins for the first time ever!

#immunosky Anyone else wake up to good news from grant Santa? This one's an F32 fellowship, to help take on TCR cross reactivity. Honored and excited to be working on this and grateful for the support!

Master Foo: Once you master linux you become the beard.

Upon hearing this, the student was enlightened.

I called both Wilson and Rutherford counties home during grad school. Not exactly surprised by my former neighbors, but I am both ashamed and embarrassed for them.
CHALKBEAT — After Wilson County removed 400 books from their school libraries after the new GOP law, other counties are using their list as a cheat sheet, including Montgomery and Rutherford, where Frances Rosales asked for 150 books to be removed. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2024/no...

I think this will do nicely for my inaugural skeet. Thanks boss for the shout out! Eagerly (and cautiously) excited to get this thing funded. We have work to do!

My postdoc Chad is happy today - kudos and congratulations!! More when (if?) the news becomes official. TCR cross-reactivity, you are on notice!
