🦠🧍‍♀️From bacterial to human immunity.

We report in @science.org the discovery of a human homolog of SIR2 antiphage proteins that participates in the TLR pathway of animal innate immunity.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

A study from the #MarraffiniLab in @science.org shows that newly discovered weapons of bacterial self-defense take different approaches to achieving the same goal: preventing a virus from spreading through the bacterial population.

I'm excited to share our latest story from the
@lydiafinley.bsky.social lab, where we show that it's not just whether cells take up nutrients that matters, but how and where those metabolites are used. Out now in @naturemetabolism.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ejFTs 1/

I’m so excited for the start of the Aviram Lab!! Going to miss @naamaaviram.bsky.social in lab but at least she’s right across the street 🤞

Thrilled that my thesis work in @lydiafinley.bsky.social's lab is out in the world! We found that methotrexate targets a specific metabolic vulnerability in a particularly aggressive form of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project over the years!

Our latest preprint identifies (targetable!) metabolic programs intrinsic to different cancer cell states in rhabdomyosarcoma, out just in time for @katrinaparas.bsky.social's thesis defense tomorrow!

HUGE congratulations to @paigearnold.bsky.social for being named a @hhmi.bsky.social Hanna Gray Fellow! A well-deserved recognition for all of your accomplishments and promise: I can't wait to see what you do next!!

New to 🦋 but beyond thrilled to share that I’m joining the new cohort of @hhmi.bsky.social #HannaGrayFellows! 🎉 I’m so excited to connect with this incredible community of scientists. Many thanks to HHMI for this opportunity and my mentors @lydiafinley.bsky.social and Luciano Marraffini!
