We are excited to welcome Jane to the #SanterLab who is starting her #Immunology MSc degree 🥳🎉

She recently finished her BSc Microbiology (co-op) degree at UManitoba with work experience at the JC Wilt Infectious Diseases Research Centre. Now a soon to be #interferon & #IBD expert 😉

I hope 2025 brings the same engagement here as #ScienceTwitter used to be🤞🤞

Had fun today giving a seminar describing our past 4yrs of research from the #SanterLab from #COVID19 to #immunoregulation to #IBD, with a common theme of #IFNs 😀🥳
There were ups & downs, but many great memories so far.

Thanks to my awesome team & colleagues, funders + many collabs 🙏🏻

The #SanterLab tried a printable #escaperoom for some #teambuilding today! The clues were related to the movie Home Alone🎄

👏🏻🌟to everyone for solving the various riddles as a nice break from lab, experiment planning & data analysis 😀
