Congratulations to the newly-elected officers of the ICIS! Several are returning members, while others are joining the board for the first time. It is great to see so many people willing to give generously of their time and “sweat equity” (to adopt a turn of phrase from former ICIS President [READ MORE]
ICIS Council member, Carla Rothlin, Ph.D., recently interviewed Yale University’s Day of Immunology co-founders Dr. Lindsey Hughes, Sarah Ohashi and Sasha Tabachnikova. The following is a lightly edited summary of their conversation. What is Day of Immunology? Day of Immunology is an annual outreach event designed to introduce high school [READ MORE]
My research focuses on the immune responses to emerging viral infections and vaccines in humans, with emphasis on older adults. The best advice I received was by the incredibly talented mentors I had and, in brief, it is to stay curious, celebrate wins no matter if they are big or [READ MORE]
Howard Young has long been a proponent of employing treats to help maintain positive interactions among personnel in the laboratory. A Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake is an indulgent dessert that will promote the same level of harmony in the lab that is achieved in the rich chocolate and creamy peanut [READ MORE]

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for resolving inflammation and maintaining immune homeostasis. How Tregs are locally regulated in inflamed niches is poorly understood, although their expression of CD4 helper T (Th) cell lineage-defining transcription factors (i.e. Gata3, Rorγt, and Tbet) tailors their regulatory function towards a specific type of [READ MORE]
My research focuses on understanding the cytokine and metabolic regulation of regulatory T cells residing in non-lymphoid tissues such as the visceral adipose tissue and skin. I started my lab at Emory University in 2020, right at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It was difficult but I received a [READ MORE]
