Associate Professor at Drexel. Dopaminergic Immunology, myeloid cells and HIV infection. Opinions my own (he/him/his). gaskilllab.com
So proud of AlexisBrantly who did a fantastic job today defending her thesis focused on "Establishing a model of HIV infection in macrophages to assess HIV / HBV co-infection driven liver disease". Keep an eye here for great data coming out soon about HIV / HBV coinfection.

Amazing job by Yash Agarwal presenting his research on HIV infection of human iPSC derived cortical and midbrain organoids. Yash has ably led the work in the Gaskill Lab developing and exploiting this novel model to study dopamine and substance use mediated changes in HIV infection.

Fantastic early career poster session at the Society for Neuroimmune Pharmacology (#SNIP2025) in Omaha last night. Lots of interest in our work on dopaminergic immunology (Marzieh Daniali), cocaine & HIV (Tofunmi Oteju) and human brain organoids (Yash Agarwal).

Very impressed with Tofunmi Oteju, who gave an outstanding talk at the 2025 Society for Neuroimmune Pharmacology (#SNIP2025) in Omaha today. She discussed her research on the role of Sigma-1 and how it leverages the unfolded protein response to drive increased HIV infection of microglia.

3rd great day at ASPET 2025. Fantastic hike at Multnomah falls, lunch at the food trucks and an afternoon of excellent science capped with another Gaskill lab poster by Marzieh Daniali, and the Catecholamine Society dinner, where Tofunmi Oteju received a Daniel T. O'Connor travel award.

Awesome day at #aspet2025 for the Gaskill lab. Spoke dopaminergic immunology in HIV-associated inflammation in a symposium on "How the Immune System Tunes Monoamine Signaling", then Breana Channer and Tofunmi Oteju
presented their fantastic data at the evening poster session.

Great start to #aspet2025 today in Portland. A walk around the city, an excellent sushi burrito for lunch at the Midtown Beer Garden and an evening with great posters, good people and ... lots of gnomes?

Couldn't be prouder to congratulate Dr. Breana-Channer Ellis on her outstanding defense of her research dissertation "Evaluating TLR4 and Dopamine Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Human Macrophages Across Distinct Culture and Serum Conditions." Incredible job today!!!

Absolutely incredible and inspiring talk tonight by Dr. Linda Griffith (lgglab.mit.edu) capping off an amazing 1st day at the 6th Annual Immunomodulation and Engineering Symposium (IMES) at Drexel. Incredible work engineering new, models to study endometriosis in the human immune environment.
