Studying human pediatric and mouse IgA deficiency, in collaboration with @LabSilverman, shows increasing exposure of commensal microbes to the systemic immune response yields immune dysregulation -- helping understand why only some IgA deficient patients are symptomatic!
Deficiency of IgA antibodies influences how well the immune system can maintain control of intestinal bacteria, finds new study involving pediatric patients with varying IgA levels. @henricksonlab @LabSilverman scim.ag/2LQ

So excited that our paper on preTCRa is out! It was a wonderful experience working with this collaborative, international immunology research team. This story emphasizes how much we can learn from our rare patients—both about new diseases and basic immune mechanisms.
1/ Just in! We report the first humans with inherited pre-TCR⍺ deficiency in @sciencemagazine. Dive into our fascinating findings on complete and partial forms of pre-TCRα deficiencies, including a common variant in the Middle East and South Asia. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Thanks, I had a great time joining @UPenn_Allergy to discuss the role of genetics in our field!
It was a privilege to welcome @henricksonlab to Grand Rounds today to discuss genetic testing and interpreting variants of uncertain significance. Thank you for providing a very engaging and informative talk on a very important topic! @ChildrensPhila @PennMedicine @AAAAI_org

In vitro models of CD8 T cell exhaustion make high-throughput interrogation easy, but can they be used to discover real Tex biology with therapeutic relevance? Read to find out! In our new work from the @EJohnWherry lab, out now at @SciImmunology, we... bit.ly/45yOFMB

Why do some people have strong immunity after vaccination and others don't? Join our team as a post-doc to study this! tinyurl.com/nyuPostdoc and teamtfh.org for more. Please RT! #immunology #postdoc

In a new @SciImmunology study, our researchers have shown that IgA acts as a “tuner” that regulates the number of microbes the body sees every day. This may explain why some patients with IgA deficiency have symptoms, while others do not. Read more below. ms.spr.ly/6013g5vCv

Thanks John! There’s definitely more to do, from further defining how absent gut IgA dysregulates immune cell activation and cytokine levels to understanding which patients will become symptomatic and how to predict and prevent it. #ImmuneHealth at @CHOP_Research and @UPenn_I3H!
Really excited to see this wonderful paper from @henricksonlab and @LabSilverman Have seen this story developing over the years - Very interesting. Could IgA levels be a component of overall #ImmuneHealth? Great paper...congrats to the authors dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciimmuno…

So excited for this story on IgA deficiency to be out at @SciImmunology ! Great collaboration with @henricksonlab. We were curious why most kids with IgA deficiency were not symptomatic. What exactly is IgA doing for the mucosal and systemic immunity? dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciimmuno…

Time to explore a new place to learn and discuss, so I’m heading to Mastodon. I hope to continue our conversations there!

Welcome to Penn!
I am excited to announce that I'll be joining the University of Pennsylvania as an Asst. Professor in the Department of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics. The #BabdorLab will study the dialogue between the #Microbiome & the #ImmuneSystem for #PrecisionMedicine.

VOTE. If you’re driven by one issue or a party. If you’ve voted for decades, if it’s your first time or if it’s been awhile. If you show up because of the town school board or a Senate race affecting the nation. Democracy is just a concept (and it’s in danger) if we don’t VOTE.

So great to find another group excited about type 2 immunity and CD8 T cell exhaustion! Thanks for visiting our Penn&CHOP community @PennIFI!

Thank you @golnaz_v @canna_lab for the invitation to share our labs research at @Penn_IFI. I had a super fun day catching up with old friends @SunnyShinLab @BrodskyIgor and chatting science with new friends. @EvanWeberPhD @metaBailism @henricksonlab @DHerbertLab @LauraVella17

So proud of post-doc Andrea Mauracher after two great STAT1 focused talks in three hours at #ESID2022! Day 2 of a fantastic meeting is underway—it’s wonderful to see so many friends and colleagues in person.

Congrats to the team esp @AllenInstitute for immunology (Claire, Zach, Pete) and @Penn @henricksonlab @LauraVella17 @EJohnWherry on this multi-omic human T cell dataset w/TEAseq, deep dive into naive T cells across age. Really fun collab, lots of data to mine.

Move day! Celebrating 3 years of our lab by moving 70 feet down the hall to a beautiful space where we will continue working as a team to better understand mechanisms of CD8 T cell dysfunction in chronic inflammation & inborn errors of immunity. Definitely more fun with windows!
