Thrilled to share my second postdoc paper, out today in @SciImmunology. We continued dissecting the host response to fungal pathogens in the lung and uncovered another spatial circuit that shapes macrophage function and pathogen persistence.

👉 HIF activity prevents proper macrophage maturation Deleting VHL → stabilizes HIFs → immature AM phenotype Only removing BOTH HIF-1α + HIF-2α fully restores identity 👉 HIF signaling is the dominant driver downstream of VHL
