Big news! 🎉 Weill Cornell Graduate School congratulates the graduate students awarded the 2026 NIH F31 Predoctoral Fellowship. Shoutout to our very own Shane Vedova of the Brad Jones lab for this achievement! gradschool.weill.cornell.edu/2026-nih-par...
IMP has been BUSY these past few weeks! Last week, the Weill Cornell Graduate School hosted its 45th annual Vincent du Vigneaud Symposium, highlighting some of our brightest trainees. Congrats to Esther Lee (IMP) and Aliya Holland (Pharm) of the @huselab.bsky.social on earning Top Poster Awards! 🔬🎓
🎓 Congrats Dr. Logan Fisher of the Brown Lab on defending your thesis on "Uncovering Dendritic Cell Heterogeneity and Function" proving even dendritic cells can’t stay mysterious forever. Thesis defended, next stop postdoc life 🧬 @chrysothemisbrown.bsky.social
Another shoutout to the IMP post-docs and faculty on their presentations at the AAI conference as well!
Shout out to our IMP students and faculty who represented our program at the AAI Conference in Boston last week! 👏✨ Sharing a few highlights from the conference! 📸
Excited to share that our lab’s first preprint is now available! This work reflects a huge effort from graduate student Abeera Mehmood and coauthors! If you are interested in what B cells make all antibodies against norovirus take a look! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
I'm thrilled to announce that I have launched my lab at the @petermaccc.bsky.social!
The Delconte Lab will focus on tissue-specific immunometabolism - with particular emphasis on NK cells - and how dietary and systemic metabolic cues can be harnessed to uncover new targets for cancer immunotherapy.
Excited to announce the opening of the Adams Lab in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at @urochester.bsky.social Medical Center. Job posting for postdoc and/or computational biologist positions coming soon – reach out if you are interested in joining our team!

Congrats to Bella Fang from Dr. Rudensky's lab. Yesterday she successfully defended her thesis: Neuro-Immune Regulation of Tissue Inflammation and Pathophysiology. We applaud you and all your hard work! Congratulations, Dr. Fang! 👏🧠🧬
Incredibly proud that my dissertation work is now published! We learned some pretty cool things about how itaconate functions differently in human macrophage populations.
Thank you @michaelglickman.bsky.social for being such a wonderful mentor throughout my studies!
Thrilled to see the thesis work of @akrebs.bsky.social out in the world!

We are hiring! The Brown Lab is looking for a computational biologist to join our team.
If you enjoy working with single-cell and spatial genomics data and want to study how immune cells develop and function, we’d love to hear from you!

This was so fun! Thank you so much to @cindyleifer.bsky.social and @microbetv.bsky.social for the opportunity to discuss pregnancy immunology ✨
Congratulations to IMP faculty member Andrea Schietinger and her team on their latest study on the role of the transcription factor TOX in CD4+ T cell function.
Congratulations to IMP alum Rachel Gottschalk! We are extremely proud of you! 🎉
Huge congratulations to IMP Student @anaccodo.bsky.social of the @justinperryphd.bsky.social lab, on an exciting paper, find the aritcle here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...! 🎉
Spotlight on Yoselin Paucar Iza, graduate student in the Brown Lab at MSK and HHMI Gilliam Fellow! 🌟Keep up the amazing work! 🔬
Congratulations to IMP faculty member Brad Jones and his team on their latest study published in @nature.com on how to target the HIV reservoir
I'm thrilled to share that the first paper from my PhD is out today in @cp-immunity.bsky.social!
Here, we investigated how phagocytes, such as macrophages, handle microplastics (MPs) during their normal functions.

Excited to share that our paper was accepted at @insight.jci.org !
GATA2 controls alveolar macrophage inflammatory gene expression and metabolic function insight.jci.org/articles/vie...
New preprint out: prolonged TGF-β locks NK cells in a durable dysfunctional state through epigenetic remodeling.
Signal duration matters.
Outstanding team effort, with special thanks to Kevin Schmid for leading this work.

New preprint!
TL;DR: Network analysis reveals that CEBP/β and PU.1 stabilize regulatory architecture in tissue-resident alveolar macrophages to constrain inflammatory responses

Proud to once again ride in @cycleforsurvival.bsky.social in three weeks. 100% of every dollar I raise advances rare cancer research at @mskcancercenter.bsky.social. Every single dollar you give makes a difference. Donate here: shorturl.at/U92Sc
Congratulations to IMP faculty member Randy Longman and his team on their study published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social
Very happy to share the final chapter of my postdoc work with Boris Reizis @NYU @uchicagocoi.bsky.social published today in @science.org! We identify and define the role of transcription factor ETV3 in the tolerogenic function of dendritic cells (DCs). 1/

Our new paper about how the immune system is rewired when food availability is reduced! An awesome team effort by Luisa Menezes Silva, Mingeum Jeong and @seongji1.bsky.social.
Also, we're hiring Postdocs and Techs - please reach out if interested!
A great collaboration that came out a few weeks ago with the labs of CJ Guo and David Artis - led by Shanshan Qiao from the Guo lab.
Why are pDCs so good at producing type I interferons? We set out to address this long unanswered question in our @cp-immunity.bsky.social study. A great collaboration between the Reizis Lab @NYU @uchicagocoi.bsky.social and @agalicina.bsky.social & Leonid Mirny @MIT 1/
