Last month, I had a wonderful first GRS/GRC experience at the Immunometabolism in Health and Disease meeting in Portland, Maine. I’m grateful for the thoughtful feedback on my work, the inspiring science, and the chance to connect with NIH, Oxford, and new colleagues. #Immunometabolism #GRC #GRS

I’m excited to share that I’ll be presenting a poster at the 2026 GRAPPA Annual Meeting & Trainee Symposium in Lisbon, Portugal. My poster focuses on immune remodeling in psoriasis, using single-cell and multimomic approaches to study metabolic intervention.

Reviewed a preprint that was highlighted by Nature Reviews Immunology: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41787061/ A small contribution, but a good reminder of how valuable thoughtful preprint feedback is for advancing science before formal peer review.
