Congratulations to all PhD candidates honored, especially our student @harkins_ashley!
Fifty-three PhD candidates and MD/PhD students at @UMassChan were celebrated for transitioning from student to candidate for a doctoral degree. PhD candidates Jesse Lehman, Paula Grasberger & Seden Bedir share their research here: direc.to/jLV_ @sedengineer @UMassMDPhD
Congrats to all the 2023 graduates at @UMassChan. It was an absolute honor to be on stage hooding PhDs when it wasn’t that long ago that I crossed that stage. #katiecouric giving the commencement address was pretty cool too
So fun giving the commencement address at @UMassChan (med school) celebrating these impressive doctors, nurses & scientists! (You may call me “Dr. Katie.”) Thanks for the feedback—my speech will be in Wake-Up Call tomorrow! Sign up at Katiecouric.com 🎓🩻🩺🥼
Excited to be in LA for ASGCT23! Look out for Dr. Terry Flotte's presentation Thursday morning in the "Clinical Trials Spotlight" session, and our following talk in the "Understanding and Modeling Immune Responses to Gene Therapy and Vaccines" Session.
We're excited to welcome you to #ASGCT23 in sunny Los Angeles and virtually! Get ready by downloading the meeting app, viewing the online program, and prepping comfortable shoes annualmeeting.asgct.org/program Tag us in your first impressions of the Meeting!
It was great talking with Terry @UMassChan about the early days of gene therapy and his work with AAV-based vector systems. It was also nice to learn more about his very successful academic career, his many contributions to @ASGCTherapy and what he enjoys in his spare time.
Hear Terry Flotte, MD, on ASGCT's Giants of Gene Therapy #podcast TMRW! He discussed #AAV vectors, past & future of #genetherapy + his scientific journey with ASGCT President @HPKiem, MD, PhD. Preview Dr. Flotte on gene therapy in 10 yrs below & subscribe asgct.org/giants-of-gene…
Lupus has a broad range of causes and symptoms. Research Jillian Richmond, PhD, is doing with @LupusResearch funding could provide new information about how lupus-causing immune cells can be targeted to prevent or slow #lupus: bit.ly/3mMFJ5H @tcelltracker @UMassLupus
Congratulations to our graduate student, Ashley, on passing her qualifying exam and becoming a PhD candidate! We're very proud of your hard work. @harkins_ashley
On Friday our rotation student Oscar gave a great talk on his rotation project. Congratulations and good luck on your next rotation!
Congrats to our student Moti and our Keeler lab alum, Ishani, in the publication of their paper "Immunogenicity of Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Vectors for Gene Transfer" in BioDrugs. Check it out on pubmed now! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36862289/ @mt_arjomandi @dasgupta_ishani
Our colleagues in the Gene Therapy Center are doing amazing work!
UMass Chan researchers have reached a proof-of-concept milestone in developing a vector to deliver gene replacement therapy in mice models with Cockayne syndrome, giving hope to parents of children with the fatal neurodegenerative disease. bit.ly/3jcIN9o @RiaanResearch
UMass Chan Medical School has licensed the rights to develop and commercialize a second-generation gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy, a rare, fatal genetic disorder that affects all of the muscles in the body: bit.ly/3XixNFz #GeneTherapy #SpinalMuscularAtrophy
A wonderfully written spotlight on our graduate student, Ashley!
Originally planning to become a physician, PhD student Ashley Harkins fell in love with bench science. Harkins, a hospital volunteer since high school, is working to discover novel immunotherapies to conquer #ALS: bit.ly/3IvPwFD #StudentSpotlight #WhyUMassChan @KeelerLab
After collaborating virtually, Jillian Richmond, PhD, assistant professor of dermatology, & Sachi Desse, a Georgia-based @MSMEDU student, worked together at @UMassChan via the @dermfoundation's Diversity Research Supplement Award: bit.ly/3hnR09T @TCellTracker @UMassDerm
Thanks @acadia_k for always making the Keeler Lab festive!
The @KeelerLab looks festive year-round thanks to research associate Acadia Kopec. @acadia_k has put Travis the Treg-osaurus (named after regulatory T-cells) and Elisa (named after the ELISA assay) in holiday sweaters, Valentine’s Day attire and more! #LabMascot
@acadia_k and the Keeler Lab dinosaurs were lucky enough to get a spotlight from @UMassChan on Instagram! instagram.com/p/Cl9dIotsu5u/… and what's more? Acadia has just been accepted into the UMass Chan Medical School Class of 2027! Congrats!
It was an absolute pleasure to join Dr. Shari Gordon and Dr. Steven Gray for the @ASGCT Insight Series on Immunological Responses to AAV Gene Therapy in Neurological Compartments: Mechanisms and Management
Getting excited for the upcoming Holidays. We've transformed our space into a Winter WonderLAB!🦖❄️⛄️
Tune in TOMORROW, 1–3 p.m. CT, for an expert-led session on Immunological Responses to AAV #GeneTherapy in Neurological Compartments—FREE for members. Preview "Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses to AAV Gene Therapy" by @allisonkeeler, PhD. Register: ow.ly/EbgE50LPvC2.
Celebrating our rotation student Prajakta on the last day of her rotation! Thank you for all your hard work and we wish you luck on your future rotations!
Congratulations to our graduate student, @harkins_ashley in being named the 2022 @creativebiolabs Scholarship Award Recipient! We are very proud of your hard work. creative-biolabs.com/scholarship-pr…
Excited to announce the publication of our review "Regulatory T Cells as Therapeutics for Neuroinflammatory Disorders" in Critical Reviews in Immunology. @BegellHouse Congrats to @harkins_ashley & @acadia_k! dl.begellhouse.com/journals/2ff21…
