10 days 'til 🎓 IMMUNOSCHOOL 🎓 !!! Hear from @miriammerad.bsky.social about how tissue-resident macrophages & dendritic cells shape immune responses in cancer, aging, and inflammation, leading to new myeloid-targeting immunotherapy strategies. ✏️REGISTER FOR FREE✏️: www.eventbrite.com/e/internatio...

Devastating to hear of a child's death from measles—a completely preventable disease. Even more concerning is public health officials downplaying the outbreak. attached here is an important article on the lifesaving impact of measles vaccines. #FollowTheData academic.oup.com/jid/article/...

Excellent JAMA article describing that > 99% of new drug approvals (2010-2019) were backed by NIH funding. Why dismantle the very engine that made the U.S. a global leader in drug development ? "#DoNotDefundScience jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I am honored to receive the Sjoberg Prize, which recognizes my laboratory’s dedication to advancing macrophages as key therapeutic targets in cancer. At a time of great uncertainty for American science, the support and vision of the Sjoberg family are especially meaningful today.

🌟Sjöberg Laureate Miriam Merad has studied how cells in the innate immune system affect the body’s ability to fight tumours. Her discoveries have hugely contributed to making these cells a promising target for the development of new cancer therapies. www.kva.se/en/news/sjob... #Science #Academicsky

Out now in @natimmunol.bsky.social @meriembelabed.bsky.social & Matthew Park uncover new #CellBiology of DC maturation: cholesterol stores mobilize to stabilize lipid nano-domains in the membrane, enabling immune receptor signaling. 1/2

Very honored to be inducted at the Belgian Royal Academy of Medicine this weekend alongside incredible colleagues. Thank you again to the Academy for honoring my laboratory. It was also refreshing to spend time with like-minded peers amidst all the chaos,
