Nothing like a little breakfast before tackling cold room clean-up! Nice job everyone 😃👍

An amazing study by Kyle Timmer exploring a new multiparametric assay capable of determining several key neutrophil functional responses at once! Nice job Kyle!

Congratulations to Johnny Atallah for his new publication looking at transcriptional signatures in patients presenting with fever to the emergency department!

The Mansour Lab was thrilled to speak at 3 sessions during ID Week 2022 in Washington DC last week. Fantastic presentations by Dr. Michael Mansour, Dr. Johnny Atallah, and Vahe Panossian on their research of procalcitonin and MR-proADM. #IDWeek2022

Fantastic work by Adam Viens from the lab showing Syk-independent accessory pathway responsible for neutrophil responses to Candida

Great work, Adam!
