We looked to two big differences between mice and humans: their diet and microbiome. Turns out when you make mice look more like humans, they develop irAEs after checkpoint blockade! Now we had a model. But how does it work?

Proud of these two stellar PhD students for their awards at our recent departmental retreat! @Kate_Wolfgang_ @jessica_jana_

Celebrating our latest paper being accepted for publication! More details coming soon.
