Excited to share a new preprint from the lab. Our first venture into dissecting how metabolism contributes to the distinct functional potential of neonatal immune cells - in this case naive CD4+ T cells and their capacity for Treg differentiation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

ASCI Perspectives: Renee Hsia Dr. Hsia, the 2024 recipient of the ASCI/Marian W. Ropes Award, met with Dr. Jennifer S. Yu to discuss her journey as a physician-scientist, her work at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital & solutions to systemic public health challenges:

Hello! I’m Jess 🩵👋🏼 I’m a physician-scientist and pediatric oncologist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Keck School of Medicine of USC. My lab studies the genomic and epigenetics drivers of pediatric brain tumors 🧠 with the goal of finding better therapies for childhood cancer. 1/

ok- sci bsky - trying this out. our latest paper with @arimolofskylab.bsky.social shows that "allergic" immune cells (ILC2s) have a healthy function in developing brain: formation of inhibitory synapses - key tuners of brain activity www.science.org/stoken/autho...

My first official post since making the switch to Bluesky! Great timing as it’s also my first time attending #TLM24 #AASLD. Here to learn as much as I can about the liver to treat #HCC with #immunotherapy. #liversky

A great primer for rising leaders - a hard lesson to learn. #MedSky #SurgSky #Leadership

Highlighting this study out of UCSF/Chiu lab. Having used this CSF mNGS test over the last 8 years, I can attest to having some big wins in some diagnostically difficult cases, picked up earlier\would not have been picked up on traditional testing. Future of dx. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

it's official — 1,000,000 people have joined Bluesky in just the last day!!! welcome and thank you for being here 🥳
