Excited to share our @WSJopinion on "How to Lead a Chronic Disease Revolution" with @hmkyale.

Hint: study infections & immune responses as a catalyst for chronic diseases like neurodegenerative, autoimmune, cancer, and many more.

Excited to participate in the 2025 annual American Association of Immunologists meeting in Honolulu 🏝️ Looking forward to seeing my colleagues and learning about the latest advances in immunology. #AAI2025 and #Immunology2025 @ImmunologyAAI
Submit your abstract and apply for a scholarship by May 13th to share your research in #longCOVID and other post-acute infection syndromes at this upcoming @KeystoneSymp πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ
Looking forward to seeing you in Santa Fe!

So grateful to the many people who made this study possible. Special thank you to all the participants who did a heroic job of completing all the surveys and traveling to Yale to donate blood three times πŸ™πŸΌ (end)
Next week, we are hosting an international scientific workshop focused on the pathogenesis of #LongCovid at @YaleMed. Please join us on May 15th to learn about what we know and what we need to investigate next to get to the root causes ⏩ therapies πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ @YaleCII
Finally, repeated nasal spike boosters elevated respiratory IgA responses even further. We hope the principle of a simple nasal viral antigen booster can be used for future vaccines that block infection and transmission against a variety of respiratory viruses. (4/)
Congratulations to the authors @Kwon_Dongil @tianyangmao @BenIsraelow @keylas3 and Huiping Dong for this incredible work πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ (end)
Looking forward to participating in the @polybioRF symposium today. From @YaleCII, I'll talk about autoantibodies, Victoria Bastos will discuss ME CFS immunotypes based on CSF and @esensefik will discuss humanized mouse model of viral RNA persistence πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

While we do not know why some people with ME/CFS have elevated MMPs and cytokines, our data suggest potentially distinct drivers of disease that manifest in similar clinical phenotypes. Future studies are needed to probe therapeutic pathways suitable for these clusters. (4/)
Congratulations to all the authors for this important work πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ We thank @weandmecfs @polybioRF and Carol Cirot Foundation, NIH and @HHMINEWS for supporting this work, and for all the patients for heroically donating CSF for our research πŸ™πŸΌ (end)
