Jack Major and Rachel Kratofil presented their current projects at the annual Precision Immunology Institute Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (PrIISM) Retreat on Friday, November 22. Rachel Kratofil also won the Best Trainee Talk award.

We are so proud of them and how they represent our work!

Dr. Shruti Naik was announced as this year’s winner of the LEO Foundation Award in Region Americas for her contributions to skin science. This award was formally presented at the SID Annual meeting in Dallas on May 16.

Anne-Marie Engel, Chief Scientific Officer at the LEO Foundation, said of Dr. Naik:

“Dr. Naik is an exceptionally talented basic and translational researcher. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge, commitment to top-tier science, and dedication to outreach and media engagement make her a deserving recipient of the LEO Foundation Award, promising further advancements in our understanding and treatment of skin diseases.”

Warmest congratulations once again, Dr. Naik, on this incredible achievement!

Trisha has been awarded the prestigious DURF (Dean’s Undergraduate Research Fund) to conduct an independent project this summer in the Naik lab.

Congratulations, Trisha, on this well-deserved honor. We’re excited to see the results of your project, “Mapping the response of sensory neurons to skin inflammation”.

On April 24, Ipsita defended her thesis “Decoding & Targeting Epithelial-Immune Circuits in Inflammatory Disease.” Congratulations to Ipsita on this significant achievement. Her dedication and scholarly excellence are a testament to her commitment to advancing immunological research. We are all better scientists and people having worked alongside you in the lab.

We wish you the best as you transition to the final two years of medical school!

Congratulations to Joe for passing his qualifying exam on March 9. This milestone marks just the beginning of your impactful journey in scientific inquiry. Your contributions hold the potential to significantly advance our understanding of immunology and inflammatory memory and pave the way for innovative approaches in treating inflammatory diseases.

Congratulations Piotr on receiving the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence award from NIH-NIAMS! We are excited to see the wonderful research program you will build.

Ikjot gave a wonderful talk about his spatial transcriptomics paper at the Single Cell & Spatial Discovery Symposium, an event hosted by 10x Genomics at the New York Genome Center. Great work!

Congrats on receiving this great fellowship!
