Leslie Berg, PhD is the recipient of the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award, granted, “In recognition of a remarkable career of scientific achievement and contributions to AAI and the field of immunology.”
Dr. Laurent Gapin received funding from the Cancer League of Colorado for the Fall 2024 Research Grant.
Jordan Jacobelli, PhD, associate professor of immunology and microbiology, is corresponding author of an original research article published October 3 by Frontiers in Immunology. The manuscript identifies distinct cellular mechanisms by which the cytoskeletal proteins mDia1 and FMNL1 regulate T cell migration, in part by facilitating nucleus deformation to enable migration though confined environments. Four colleagues from our campus are co-authors. from A Message from Dean Sampson | October 14, 2024

Great news from the Morrison Laboratory!
Dr. Michael Schurr's lab from CU School of Medicine and Dr. Devatha Nair lab's CU School of Dental Medicine's spinout company, Azodent, Inc. received a RadLaunch award at RadTech for designing a polymer coating that can be used to prevent biofilm accumulation and infections on implants, prostheses, catheters, and endoscopes.
Raul Torres has been selected to receive the Research Mentor Award for the 2025 CU Anschutz Research Award program and the award ceremony will be February 19th at 4 pm in the Elliman Conference Center.
Jenna Guthmiller, PhD, assistant professor of immunology and microbiology, received the Ann Palmenberg Junior Investigator Award at the American Society for Virology annual meeting on June 25. The award recognizes junior investigators who have made significant contributions to the field of virology and who display exceptional promise. Her lab studies how broadly protective humoral immunity against influenza viruses develops and can be harnessed by vaccination. Her expertise has been showcased in recent news reports about avian flu, including this article in the AAMC News and this report in The Denver Post.
Brittany Gomez, who is in the Immunology PhD program, and Linda van Dyk, PhD, professor and vice chair of The Department of Immunology and Microbiology have been awarded the Gilliam Fellowships by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
