Delighted with our new publication showing how natural microbial exposure of pregnant mice enhances T cell diversity and residency at the maternal-fetal interface and resembles human decidual immune populations with increased fidelity.

Delighted with my labs new publication on how decidual NK cells utilize the anti-microbial peptide granulysin for immune defense of placental tissues! ❤️

Great news to start my day!! ✨️🥂✨️

To keep me sane & centered, I made and fussed over this big clay pot last night! This morning, I feel refreshed and ready to focus on science! I think I may need more of this for a while...

Congratulations, Senad 🥂🥂 This CCHMC basic science research award is very well deserved and reflective of your excellent & inclusive research program!! ❤️@cincyresearch.bsky.social @cincychildrens.bsky.social

Congratulations, Dave🥂🥂 You soo deserve this senior CCHMC mentoring award!!!! Thank you for your continuous support, advice, and optimism! I would be here without this! ❤️ @cincyresearch.bsky.social @cincychildrens.bsky.social

With great sadness, I heard my PhD mentor, Frans Claas unexpectedly past away. He was extremely knowledgeable and taught me all about HLA and allo-reactive cells. But most of all, he was most generous, kind, and really funny. Frans, thank you for everything!! I am proud to be part of your legacy 💔

Excited to be at the Keystone Symposium on T cell differentiation and Innate memory!! 🔥

Journal club in the lab earlier today! Great introduction and discussion of a cool paper by the Bierle lab! We were a bit confused by placental vs pumkin weights, but hey, it's Friday! @cbierle.bsky.social

The new year starts with my 1st NIH/R01! Can't wait to expand my team and my passion for unravelling the mechanisms of placental tolerance and inflammation! Cheers You All! 🥂

Proud to see very talented trainees give an awesome talk in the CCHMC student postdoc forum!
