Ecstatic to announce I have received a Marie Curie PostDoc Fellowship to work in the @Guse_Lab and understand how immunity regulates symbiosis in Aiptasia and corals. Thanks to @MSCActions for funding important research! 🧑🔬🪸 #Aiptasia

Together these data suggest RGD-binding integrins facilitate the uptake of symbionts but not non-symbiotic algae. Huge kudos goes out to @Mela_Doerr and all authors for these amazing insights. Integrins rock!

🚨New @Guse_Lab Preprint Alert!🚨 Integrins are key receptors involved in the phagocytosis of symbionts in cnidarians. This sheds light on the mechanisms of symbiosis establishment in coral reefs. A thread... #coralreef

@DiseaseMatters @Ecrs2024 @ICRSreefstudent @ICRSCoralReefs @ICRI_Coral_Reef I'll be there to present a poster on immunity and symbiosis in Aiptasia/corals. Looking to discuss how to better integrate and apply knowledge to restoration. And to generally learn more about the field since it's still new to me!
