We are growing...

Since March we have welcomed two new masters students - Mara Esposito and Namitha Putananickal.  They are both studying MACROPHAGES!!!!!!! Mara is investigating pulmonary macrophage heterogeneity following mycobacteria infection and Namitha is studying how monoclonal antibodies to surface antigens on Mtb differential impact bacterial uptake and growth in alveolar versus bone marrow derived macrophages.  Macrophages = new territory for the lab and we are learning a lot.
