Congrats to Olamide on her successful #Immunology MSc defense today! 🎉🥳

She was the 1st member of the #SanterLab as a co-op student, to then tech & now MSc.

I couldn't have got the lab going without her. Thank u Olamide for choosing my lab & all your dedication to #IFNL research!🙏🏻

Sounds good. Forgot to see if any #IFNL symposium/party planned at cytokines too- @ramlabuw.bsky.social ?

Great lab meeting today welcoming co-op undergraduate student Junel for his summer work term & celebrating some great news Testimony (PhD student) received recently 🥳🥳🎉🎉

Lots of fun #IFNL work planned for the rest of 2025 😀😀😀

Happy International #DayofImmunology!🥳🎉

I am currently 🛫 & will visit McMaster for the 1st time tomorrow to present in their Infection & Immunity seminar series 😀 🙏🏻 to @koenigjfe.bsky.social for the invite

Looking forward to chatting science & presenting a couple stories from our #IFNL projects

I'm honoured to be a Science Co-op supervisor of the year!🙏🏻😀

I have mentored 7 @umanitoba.bsky.social co-op undergrads thus far & all have been a pleasure to work with- whether est. new protocols or getting 😎 #IFNL data!

Thank you to Cedric for the nomination & kind words🙏🏻

Phospholipid Scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) Regulates Interferon-Lambda Receptor 1 (IFN-λR1) and IFN-λ Signaling in Influenza A Virus (IAV) Infection

#InterferonPower! Zhou &co show @elife.baky.social that a phospholipid scramblase is upregulated in response to interferon lambda #IFNL, and works as a transcription factor to upreg IFNLR in lung epithelial cells, protecting against influenza A virus! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Very thankful that another Murooka/Santer lab project was funded 3 weeks later for our #CIHR Catalyst grant with Dr Ali Ashkar as fellow coPI & coA @annablakney.bsky.social expanding on #IFNL #antiviral effects in the STBBI field. Super excited to work with this awesome team across 3 universities🥳🙌

Officially official 🥳🎉🥂
5yr #CIHR grant celebrations today with #SanterLab & Murooka lab who also got their grant (as co-I some #IFNL too 😉)
#IBD #IFNs #immunology

So thankful to our co-Is, collabs & all in our lab + #sisterlab who worked hard to help get this funded🙏🏻

Structural studies of the IFNλ4 receptor complex using cryoEM enabled by protein engineering - Nature Communications IFNλ4 has posed a conundrum in human immunology, leading to structural and functional questions about the protein. Here, the authors use protein engineering and cryoEM to determine the cytokine-recept...

New #IFNL publication answering some key Qs about the enigma that is #IFNL4. Great work by Mendoza lab et al 🥂👏🏻
Cytokines 2025 is far away in Nov, but @ramlabuw.bsky.social we should really have an #IFNL satellite symposium again🤞Hawaii was fun & I see ur a co-chair...

CIHR grant results day & so excited to see we will be funded for our #IFNL #immunology #IBD 5yr grant! Very thankful to coAs, those in the lab who got key new data + multiple people who spent the time to provide critiques to really improve the grant. Still in shock, but 🥳🥳😀😀🎉🎉
