Melissa Berrien-Elliott, PhD Jennifer Foltz, PhD SNI NK Meeting

Congratulations, well deserved!

So proud of Jenn Tran and Jennifer Foltz, PhD presenting at #NK2023 . Mechanisms and dynamics of human memory-like NK cells! Subsets of NK cells after IL-12/15/18 become memory-like, with two subsets eML-1 and eML-2; distinct CITE-seq, function! WashUOncology Siteman Cancer Center SNI NK Meeting

So honored to be a co-investigator on this NIH project studying the #NKcell response and T cells in this clinical setting of viral reactivation after solid organ transplants! Vikas Dharnidharka WUSM Department of Medicine WashUOncology Siteman Cancer Center

Wonderful to be at #NK2023 , hearing about cutting-edge NK cell therapy and NK cell and ILC immunobiology with our Washington U. Med teams! Looking forward to Jenn Tran and Jennifer Foltz, PhD presentation on memory-like NK cell dynamics! Siteman Cancer Center WashUOncology Megan Cooper

Thanks to Kalle and the organizing committee for putting together an outstanding #NK2023 SNI NK Meeting!
