We need to simplify the engineering so that we can complicate the biology #NAMs #MPS #OrganChips

Immunologist’s “immunocompetent”: innate sensors fire, APC relay, T-cells boom, B-cells class-switch, antibodies refine, memory locks in. Bioengineer: sprinkled monocytes on a chip. #NotTheSameThing

New #bioRxiv preprint with @dougbrubaker.bsky.social ! We explored T cell diversity & clonal dynamics across the human gut-liver-blood axis using single-cell RNA & TCR sequencing of matched samples. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…#immunologyg#Tcellsl#scRNAseqeq

Someone needs to go to prison for this…

Someone applied for a position in my lab . The cover letter said:”I am particularly drawn to this opportunity [specific aspects of the lab ,e.g., its focus in chromatin dynamics or translational applications]. I am confident that my technical expertise aligns well with the goals of your team.”

Advice to younglings that are not sure what to study but lean towards bio/med: Give #agriculture a shot. You will learn what #nature is and how #life works and from there you can let your curiousity lead you. It worked for me. One of the best decisions easy.

Concepts of implanting hardware will be a obsolete in 20-30 years tops.

I was about to send an email to an NIA program director about a R01 grant proposal on dementia but then I forgot.
