Professor in Pediatric Infectious Disease researching effects of infection, inflammation, and the microbiome on hematopoietic stem cells and their progeny. How do infections affect bone marrow and vice versa? Co-Director of BCM MSTP. 🌈
Thanks @insight.jci.org for highlighting our new work to investigate the epigenetic basis of central trained immunity. Hematopoietic stem cells carry many secrets! In this case memories that are transmitted to innate immune cells. Congrats to fabulous student Brandon Tran on this publication!

Lots of interesting pieces here including how immune cells get into the brain and how often they replace microglia.

This is interesting since Dnmt3a and Tet2 are often lumped together but actually have opposite enzymatic functions.
