My research focuses on immune metabolism and cancer microenvironment, and as a surgeon-scientist in training, I am deeply interested in improving the outcomes of liver cancer patients. Regarding my hobbies, I really like swimming. Lastly, the best advice I’ve received is that life is an experience. This simple yet profound [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]
My main research interest now is the convergence between immunology and regenerative biology, and thus, the Franklin Lab is focused on understanding the way immune cells contribute to tissue remodeling and repair. The ICIS community has been so warm and welcoming! Being a member of ICIS has given me a [READ MORE]
I’m very grateful to be part of the ICIS community, and in particular winning the Regeneron-ICIS New Investigator award last year was a huge boost for me just as I was starting my new lab. I am broadly interested in ligand-receptor systems that regulate tissue inflammation and repair (especially cytokines!). [READ MORE]
Currently, I am still undergoing training in Professor You-Me Kim’s laboratory at KAIST, where I am investigating to reveal the novel function of eosinophils and how they are regulated. Cytokines 2023 in Athens marked my second international conference experience. Initially, conversing with foreigners felt incredibly awkward and daunting, but the [READ MORE]
ICIS is my favorite Society I am involved in, and I am very honored to have received the Amanda Proudfoot Tribute Award for Advances in Chemokine Biology during Cytokines 2023 Conference. This award provides valuable support for my job hunting and encourages me to continue working on cytokines in the [READ MORE]
Long time ICIS member, Alberto Mantovani, was recently elected into the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in recognition of his distinguished achievements in original research. See the May 3 issue of the Signals+ Newsletter for more on that honor. This issue, we’re pleased to feature Prof. Emeritus Mantovani in the [READ MORE]
Signals+ Editorial Board member, Maialen Sebastian, recently caught up with a 2023 ICIS-Pfizer Junior Investigator Award recipient, Iolanda Miceli for this interview. “I am concurrently completing my medical degree and scientific training at Monash University Melbourne. I never anticipated that my medical degree would morph into a PhD program as [READ MORE]

There have been many great (Cytokines) meetings for different reasons. But the standout for me was Hawaii 2022. It was the first face-to-face meeting post COVID lockdown era and Melbourne had one of the longest at 265 days!!! So this was the first time we had seen our international family in over 3 years! The excitement was palpable. It brought home all the values of our Science and this Society. [READ MORE]
