We celebrated the 50th year anniversary of NK cells, and the legacy of Eva and George Klein… in the Klein lecture hall at the Karolinska Institute! Historical tributes and entertaining stories from Hans Wigzell, Rolf Kiessling, Klas Karre, Wayne Yokoyama, and Lewis Lanier!!16 Oct 2025 21:41 +0000at://did:plc:2sohvaeb6bcave3p3fvppspw/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3dpy3awa22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/josephsunlab.bsky.social/post/3lvvdnid4ps2mHave a look at this new study by Dr. Celeste Dang in @natimmunol.nature.com showing an interesting new role for the transcription factor TCF19 in driving antiviral NK cell function. Congrats Celeste for driving this one to the finish line! @mskcancercenter.bsky.social https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-025-02238-z08 Aug 2025 13:17 +0000at://did:plc:2sohvaeb6bcave3p3fvppspw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvvdnid4ps2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/josephsunlab.bsky.social/post/3lubxwqfmxc27These curious-looking flyers appeared in our hallways this week! They announce Celeste Dang’s thesis defense on Monday. Good luck Celeste!!19 Jul 2025 03:02 +0000at://did:plc:2sohvaeb6bcave3p3fvppspw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lubxwqfmxc27https://bsky.app/profile/josephsunlab.bsky.social/post/3lstfdreytc2vWonderful to catch up with two former @wcm-imp.bsky.social grad students at this @faseborg.bsky.social meeting! So proud of alum who are now faculty running their own labs- Priya Issuree (U Iowa) and Ruth Franklin @ruthfranklinlab.bsky.social (Harvard). Nothing makes a program director more happy!30 Jun 2025 14:27 +0000at://did:plc:2sohvaeb6bcave3p3fvppspw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lstfdreytc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/josephsunlab.bsky.social/post/3lpma7szjas2fCheck out this new study and TCR Tg mouse generated by Endi Santosa @endicytosis.bsky.social. If you are interested in studying classic and inflationary CD8+ T cell memory to MCMV infection, we’re happy to share this mouse, and @laboxenius.bsky.social is extremely generous with her Tg lines as well. https://rupress.org/jem/article/222/8/e20242078/277950/Defining-molecular-circuits-of-CD8-T-cell20 May 2025 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:2sohvaeb6bcave3p3fvppspw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpma7szjas2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/josephsunlab.bsky.social/post/3lm32lv3b422gCongratulations to Dr. Endi Santosa @endicytosis.bsky.social on his latest study on cooperativity of IRF4 and IRF8 in antiviral NK cells! On a side note, this is the 10th paper I’ve published in @jimmunol.bsky.social throughout my career - very proud to support @aai.org and our society journal! https://academic.oup.com/jimmunol/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/jimmun/vkaf041/8105710?redirectedFrom=fulltext05 Apr 2025 13:40 +0000at://did:plc:2sohvaeb6bcave3p3fvppspw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lm32lv3b422ghttps://bsky.app/profile/josephsunlab.bsky.social/post/3ll7i6lwr4s2rThrilled that Dr. Adriana Mujal has been awarded the Kravis WiSE postdoctoral fellowship!
