Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by acute, intermittent, recurrent episodes of airway inflammation. A decade of work developing the tools, techniques and collaborations needed to figure out how CD4+ T cells in the lungs propagate disease can be found here:

Our friends and colleagues in Minnesota experienced an unbearable loss today. Our hearts are with them ❤️💔

If you’ve seen any of these pets in Evanston, here’s some info to help them get home. ❤️❤️

Assistant professors studying immunity to infectious disease - don’t miss this opportunity! The BWF PATH program supports innovative research on molecular and/or systemic mechanisms that influence outcomes of pathogen exposure.

Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post.

My op-ed in the Mercury News:

A proposed HHS rule would delay vaccine updates and stall innovation by forcing unnecessary placebo trials.

It’s bad science — and worse public health.

Science is under attack. The NIH, the NSF, and our research universities.

So today, I have a message for America's scientists:

Excellent piece by @julieparsonnet.bsky.social on infectious diseases as root causes of a number of chronic human diseases; pausing research on bacterial and viral infections will limit efforts to cure neurodegeneration, autoimmune, metabolic disease as well as cancer

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

The very exciting aspect is that there’s still so much important biology to discover here.

As a person in this area who has done a deep dive into both neutralizing antibody biology (Fc- independent) and Fc- dependent functions, I say this without hesitation.

HHMI is hiring for 3 new positions!
