Dr. Matthew Laurens at UMSOM's Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, explains, "[There is a] very, very slim chance that fully vaccinated individuals can get the disease, maybe one to two percent. If you are vaccinated, you are protected." ow.ly/Eqfc50QyOtK

Meet @scienceempress, Assoc. Prof. at UMSOM, an acclaimed immunologist pioneering CD1d-mediated NKT cell activation in cancer immunotherapy. Her mission: empower diverse cancer immunotherapy researchers. 🌐🔬 #BlackHistoryMonth #HealthDisparities #InnovatingCancerImmunotherapy
Congrats to Nick Palmateer on +1 pub from his PhD work @GenomeScience @UMBaltimore in which we identify multigene family members with orthologous (syntenic and most similar) copies across multiple Theileria species. Do they retain same function? TBD... link.springer.com/10.1007/s0…
Congratulations, @scienceempress Tonya Webb, for the outstanding work you continue to do @UMmedschool and for all the students you continue to inspire for a career in STEM!!
Honored to receive the 2023 Visionary Award from @AmericanCancer Society! I’m living my life 😝🙌🏾🤓 linkedin.com/posts/vivienne-…

“This three-year program will fund 24 mid-career physicians from African countries to travel to Stanford for a six-week period of time, gaining a specific skill set identified by the African scholars as a need.”
Important @StanfordCIGH program- please share

🔬CONFIRMED:
New insecticide can kill resistant malaria-mosquitoes
🦟 In an effort to address the issue of malaria-mosquito resistance to treated bed nets, scientists @ifakarahealth, @SwissTPH, and partners, have now confirmed that a new insecticide, “chlorfenapyr,” can both kill the notorious insects and cut down infection in communities.
✍️ Published in the @BioMedCentral journal, the results mark a significant step forward toward the reduction of #malaria infection in communities not just by killing mosquitoes, but also by making them less likely to spread the disease.

If you are a tenured professor in the life sciences, help defend freedom of expression in academia. Sign our petition telling @eLife and @HHMINews not to censure Michael Eisen for tweeting his personal opinions about the Israel-Gaza conflict.

A worrisome finding for malaria for prospects of control and elimination efforts in Africa.
We're essentially seeing the worst-case scenario: parasites with the mutation that make them resistant to treatment have also picked up the chromosomal deletions that make them invisible to the diagnostic tests @JBaileyOmics

1/ 🤰What can we learn about pregnancy form 45 million lab tests? We present a dynamic atlas of pregnancy and postpartum based on measurements from over half a million pregnancies at a one-week resolution. @biorxivpreprint @AlonBar10
Wonderful first session this eve! Great summary on SARS-CoV 2 transmission and impact on subsequent cold viral infections, as well as co-infections. Looking forward to the rest of #BCID2023 !
Looking forward to #BCID2023!
