I'm elated to share that my postdoc work is now online @Nature!
nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
If you are interested in neuroimmunology (gd T cells, IL-3, sensory neurons) or allergy (allergic itch and initiation of the allergic immune response), this paper is for you! (1/16)
I’m hiring!
We are recruiting an exceptional and highly motivated Immunologist to join our team at Gilead. You will have the chance to support existing programs and initiate new, innovative projects.
Please be in touch if you are interested.

A very clear way to visualize out work - a huge thank you to @ImmunoSketch!

Science made fun! 😆
Follow this humorous and informative thread 🧵to know why we itch and the underlying mechanism.

In our new paper out today nature.com/articles/s41586-0…, we started with a simple hypothesis - inspired by work on IL-4/IL-13 from @itchdoctor - that an innate immune cell might control sensory neuronal detection of allergens via a secreted factor. (1/11)

A poorly understood, "weird" immune cell called GD3 produces a molecule, which acts on neurons, which trigger a reaction. Before we know it, we're itching for days. trib.al/cp0ALvT
Thank you! It was my pleasure to present this work a few months ago, and hope everyone will enjoy it.

Thank you Clive! It was very fun collaborating with you. We always get a lot of questions and interest about the mosquito saliva itch data. It's some of the coolest data to me personally, as I am a magnet to the mosquitos!
This is a truly epic paper out today in @Nature that I was honoured to have played a tiny role. @theILCguy @sokol_mdphd and co define the neuroimmune axis that controls the itch response, including to mosquito saliva. See this superb thread below. 🤩 👇
None of this work would have been possible without @sokol_mdphd and our other co-authors @PeriMatatia, @XuepingZhu, @VHIT_Mckimmie, @cam_phd, @SwirskiLab, @villanilab. There are more without X accounts - you can find them on the paper! (15/16)
I can't thank @sokol_mdphd enough for her mentorship over the last 5 years. I will never forget her advocacy for this work in every way possible and at all hours of the day. She is one of a kind and one of the smartest people I've ever met. I can't recommend her lab more! (16/16)
