In his lecture, “Introduction to Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Analysis,” Michael Gonzalez walked participants through the full analytical workflow—from ensuring data quality to uncovering biological insights. Offering a comprehensive and practical overview for anyone looking to explore. #AAIcourses
Continuing with single cells! Yuri Pritykin’s lecture, “Overview of Principles and Applications of Single-cell Genomics in Immunology,” takes participants through available technologies and what they can tell us. #AAIcourses #ComputationalImmunology
Starting the day’s lectures with single-cell genomics! In his lecture “Everything Everywhere All at Once: Exploring the Landscape of Single Cell Biology”, Junhyong Kim shares the evolution of studying single cell biology – his own experiences through continuing challenges with analysis. #AAIcourses
Don't miss out! AAI's Immunology Courses On-Demand offer a convenient and effective way to learn. Take it from Dr. Ryan Berry, who just finished both the Intro and Advanced Immunology Courses. Start your journey now: aai.org/Education/Co.... #AAIcourses #immunology
Thank you @aai.org for putting on an excellent Advanced Course in Immunology this week in Boston! I particularly enjoyed @ucsfmedicine.bsky.social Mark Anderson's review of T cell tolerance and autoimmunity. Keep up the great programming! #AAIcourses
In her lecture, Megan Cooper @washumedicine.bsky.social explored the diversity of inborn errors of immunity, discoveries made through patient investigation, & what the future holds for uncovering their underlying mechanisms and developing treatments. #AAIcourses
Joanne L. Viney (Seismic Therapeutic) opened the final day of the Advanced Course with her lecture, “Drug Discovery and Development: Immunotherapeutics for Autoimmune Disease,” sharing insights into the challenging yet rewarding path of developing new therapies. #AAIcourses
In his “Engineering T Cell Immunity” lecture, Nathan Singh (@washumedicine.bsky.social) discussed how advances in protein engineering, gene therapy, and antigen selection are transforming cancer treatment. #AAIcourses
In his “Neuroimmunology” lecture, @jonykipnis.bsky.social (@washumedicine.bsky.social) questioned what makes the CNS “immune privileged” if its antigens reach T cells via lymphatics and meningeal APCs—reshaping how we think about brain-immune interactions. #AAIcourses
In her lecture on the “Effect of the Microbiome on Immunity,” Cathryn Nagler (@uchicagomedicine.bsky.social) highlighted how the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) distinguishes friend from foe—tolerating beneficial microbes while mounting immune responses against pathogens. #AAIcourses
In his “Tumor Immunology” lecture, Robert D. Schreiber (@washumedicine.bsky.social) outlined foundational concepts in tumor-immune interactions — from tumor antigens and immune evasion to the requirements for effective anti-tumor responses. #AAIcourses
In her “Immunometabolism” lecture, Erika L. Pearce (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine) highlighted cutting-edge research revealing how immune cell function is tightly linked to — and can even reshape — whole-body metabolism. #AAIcourses
In his “T Cell Tolerance and Autoimmunity” lecture, Mark S. Anderson (@ucsfmedicine.bsky.social) explored how T cell tolerance is acquired—and how perturbations in this process can lead to autoimmune disease. #AAIcourses
Julie Zikherman (@ucsfmedicine.bsky.social) gave a lecture on “B Cell Tolerance & Autoimmunity,” exploring the mechanisms that maintain B cell tolerance—and how failures in these processes can lead to autoimmunity. #AAIcourses
Lawrence P. Kane (University of Pittsburgh) closed Day 3 with a deep dive into “Antigen Receptor Signaling,” exploring how T cells discriminate between ligands, models of TCR signal initiation, and the spatial regulation of TCR signaling. #AAIcourses
In his lecture on “T Cell Development,” @averyxaugust.bsky.social (@cornelluniversity.bsky.social) explained how thymic epithelial cells guide T cell maturation—covering MHC restriction, positive and negative selection, and the emergence of diverse, self-tolerant T cell populations. #AAIcourses
In his lecture on “MHC-restricted Antigen Presentation to T Cells,” Kai W. Wucherpfennig, @danafarber.bsky.social, highlighted antigen presentation as a cornerstone of vaccine efficacy—and a promising therapeutic target in autoimmunity and cancer. #AAIcourses #AdvancedImmunology
Ali H. Ellebedy, @washumedicine.bsky.social, closed Day 2 with a deep dive into “B Cell Development,” emphasizing the goal: to generate a diverse, functional pool of B cells—each uniquely specific, but free of harmful self-reactivity. #AAIcourses #AdvancedImmunology
In his lecture on “The Generation and Modification of Lymphocyte Antigen Receptor Genes,” Eugene Oltz, @ohiostatemed.bsky.social, described how chromatin accessibility controls where V(D)J recombination occurs during immune cell development. #AAIcourses
In his lecture on “Molecular and Cellular Regulation of Inflammation,” Ivan Zanoni @harvardmed.bsky.social @bostonchildrens.bsky.social explained how phagocytes detect virulence factor activity to kickstart inflammation. #AAIcourses #AdvancedImmunology
In her “Innate Immunity: Gene Regulation” lecture, Susan Carpenter @ucsantacruz.bsky.social explored how chromatin architecture shapes the expression of inflammatory genes—highlighting a key layer of immune system control. #AAIcourses
Day 1 of the 2025 Advanced Course in Immunology concludes with a Networking Reception. Connect with attendees and faculty and unwind and share your passion for #immunology.

Dr. Sarah Gaffen @slg1717.bsky.social highlighted the power of #cytokines during her lecture on Day 6 of the Intro Course in #Immunology. She showed how cytokine signaling enable transformative immunotherapies, including biologics and inhibitors targeting key signaling pathways. #AAICourses
Dr. Stephen Shiao (Cedars-Sinai) delivered a powerful lecture for Day 5 of Intro on how the immune system contributes to cancer and can fight back. In it he detailed the immunobiology of cancer and how checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) have revolutionized cancer treatment. #AAICourses #immuno
