Excited to share our new story @NatImmunol! We hope this becomes a valuable resource and sparks new approaches for patients with low-grade gliomas. Great team effort and fun - Canada and Germany @mcgillu @DKFZ #BrainTumorAwareness

What comes after M1/M2? In our Perspective with @FGinhoux in @ImmunityCP we explore how single-cell technologies and AI can decode the gene programs macrophages use across tissues & microenvironments, and how this modular view could transform immunotherapy

We're seeking to fill two roles: a postdoc and a research assistant. Both will focus on resistance mechanisms in brain tumour models using various approaches (in vivo, spatial omics, CRISPR). Please apply if this aligns with your previous experience!

A spatial map of MAPK-activated immunosuppressive myeloid populations in pediatric low-grade glioma so excited to have played a small part in this beautiful story. Congrats to Augusto Andrade and Nada Jabado. @YaleMed @YalePediatrics pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4095…

New in @NatImmunol! 🙌
Collaborators from @mcgillu and @UniJena identify myeloid cells, including resident microglia and bone marrow-derived macrophages, as the predominant immune population in the #TME, particularly in optic pathway tumors.

So excited to share our work on placental changes across gestation. Activation of immune cells types in term placentas even before labor and a reduction in toleragenic cells. Congrats @BunmiOlaloye et al. @YalePediatrics @YaleMed

I'm thrilled to have this out our study beautifully lead by @BunmiOlaloye and Weihong Gu on peripheral immunity of preemies. @YaleMed @YalePediatrics @YaleIBIO A single-cell atlas of circulating immune cells over the first 2 months in preemies. science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

Immune landscape of oncohistone-mutant gliomas reveals diverse myeloid populations and tumor-promoting function. So excited to see this finally out. Amazing effort by Nada Jabado’s team and collaborators. One step closer to understanding gliomas. Congrats nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
We next applied Imaging Mass Cytometry to profile the interaction between tumor cells and their respective immune infiltrates, showing these enriched myeloid populations have specific spatial organization, and may promote an immune evasive environment 3/
This story was a truly teamwork, led by Nada Jabado @mcgillu and @LizaKonnikova, @Pathania_Lab @loganawalsh @ClaudiaKleinman, and amazing co-authors @selinjessa @DanielaQuail @bKrugSci @MDMcNicholas @AntonellaDC83 @mo_rezanejad and others Twitterless
We thank the patients, their families, and funding agencies. Hoping this could be adding to the design of future immunotherapies for these deadly tumors #ChildhoodCancerAwareness 8/8
