Led by then graduate student Taylor Heim with help in revision from Ochapa Ibrahim! CXCR6 is on all of our TRM...why?? We think because it plays an important role in managing antigen encounters in tissue and successful transition to memory.

As 100 days in office comes up, let’s focus on the next few months:

Trump is trying to stop spending at NIH to justify cutting the NIH budget. Every US scientist should be in contact with their Congressional reps about this.

Get grants and money out the door soon or the money goes away.
