A wonderful story on how Btk inhibition potently affects neutrophil effector activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. Kudos to Dr. Diego Vargas @OWMHepworth @HannahEBrown3 (who created the artwork below) @nolling91 and the rest of the amazing team for their contributions. 👏

What started as a clinical ? during training turned into a lifelong passion for research & education. With support of mentors, colleagues & especially my trainees, I celebrated my promotion to Professor at Harvard. I could not have done it w/o the support of my amazing fam ❤️
We are excited to share our recent review article focused on pathogen-derived extracellular vesicles in host immunity! Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.vesic.2024…

BTK inhibitors increase the risk of Aspergillus infections. Our new paper shows that these drugs blunt antifungal activities by neutrophils. How does this happen, and can we recover function? (1/5) insight.jci.org/articles/vie…

1/ So proud of this major group effort! Check out our new publication in @NatureMicrobiol exploring the mechanism by which extracellular vesicles from the fungal pathogen Candida albicans rewire innate immunity.
Out now: Candida albicans extracellular vesicles trigger type I IFN signalling via cGAS and STING

After 9 years, I have decided to step down as Program Director for the @MGHMedicine Residency. I am so grateful for the privilege to serve our residents and give back to a program that gave me so much. The faculty, admin team & residents are simply amazing. Team-we did good! ❤️
Last night we celebrated Dr. @jenreedyMDPhD's contributions to the lab and her new job with Vertex! We are excited for her next adventure and wish her the best of luck!
