Last weekend was our annual lab Holiday Party, and we took the occasion to celebrate the recent accomplishments of a couple of our graduate students. Owen Jensen and Daniel Labuz, students in the Molecular Biology graduate program, passed their prelims! Owen’s thesis will be on, “Determining the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cells in mucosal adaptive immunity”, and Daniel will work on, “De novo DNA methylation of mucosal associated invariant T cells effector loci during sepsis.” We are glad that this (stressful) part is over with, and we are looking forward to seeing the results of their proposed studies!
