Dr. Ellen F. Foxman wins Hartwell Foundation Investigation Award

Edward Snyder, MD, professor of laboratory medicine, doesn’t run to win, but he does run for the crown of a king. Last March, Snyder achieved a goal 16 years in the making—running races in all 169 towns in Connecticut. Those few who complete the feat are crowned as royalty by his running club.

Stephanie Eisenbarth is an Associate Professor in the Immunology Faculty at Yale University. Her work has shown that the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Dock8 plays a role in the migration of a specific dendritic cell subset, and that when Dock8 is missing, some dendritic cells can no longer prime CD4+ T cells. Stephanie’s laboratory now focuses on understanding how T cell–driven pathology is initiated. We chatted with Stephanie to find out about her journey in science.

Dr. Joe El-Khoury of Laboratory Medicine at Yale reviews the clinical utility, analytical considerations, and operational aspects of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) testing to highlight the important role laboratories play in providing high quality of care while reducing cost to the system.

Open Physician-Scientist Faculty Position in Laboratory Medicine at Yale.

The Virus and Other Infection-associated Cancers Research Program is proud to welcome Ellen Foxman, MD, PhD, to its program.

Diane Krause, MD, PhD, professor of laboratory medicine, of cell biology, and of pathology, has received the 2018 Yale Postdoctoral Mentoring Prize.

A Yale research team has revealed how cells in different parts of the human airway vary in their response to the common cold virus. Their finding, published in Cell Reports, could help solve the mystery of why some people exposed to the cold virus get ill while others don’t, said the researchers.

Migratory type 2 conventional dendritic cells (cDC2s) appear to induce an especially robust immune response to vaccination, making vaccines more effective. Stephanie C. Eisenbarth, MD, PhD, associate professor of laboratory medicine, of immunobiology, and of medicine, and colleagues investigated the process by which dendritic cells convey vaccine-delivered antigens to T cells in the lymph nodes, which in turn spur antibody production.
