I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Non-model Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please repost for reach 💚

Attention all @westernu.bsky.social microscopists. We're offering a 3-afternoon series on the main computational approaches needed for analyzing micrographs. Deconvolution, segmentation, and colocalization will be explored in-depth, alongside hands-on tutorials. Session are FREE but space is limited

I am excited to announce the latest preprint from my lab. In this study we uncover a genetic network that mediates #macrophage proliferation during #atherosclerosis. This process produces disease-causing cells, and can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Everyone thinks that B cells make antibodies. And everyone is correct. BUT…B cells are also phagocytes! More on this interesting discovery can be found in our new preprint, which is a product of a collaborative research project led by my colleagues in the Kerfoot lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
