January 2017
Excited to share our three latest research contributions with the scientific community, just published!
The Journal of Immunology just published our work, first-authored by BSGP graduate student Lindsay Webb, on the role of arginine methylatransferase 5 in memory T cell responses and EAE. Using knockdown and novel PRMT5-selective inhibitors, we show that PRMT5 drives memory T cell expansion and the EAE mouse model of MS. The link to the manuscript is here.
Scientific Reports just published collaborative work on the protective role of Taenia crassiceps-induced monocytes on EAE. You can find the link here.
Our collaborative SLE work with the Jarjour Lab was just published in Clinical Immunology
December 2016
The lab is awarded an NIH R21 award to investigate the role of arginine methylation markers in memory T cell responses and EAE
November 2016
Our Plos One 2015 article “Novel Markers to Delineate Murine M1 and M2 Macrophages” was selected by Plos Editor’s for the Cell Biology Collection(http://collections.plos.org/cell-biology-picks). Exciting!
The National Center for Accelerated Innovations-Cleveland Clinic awarded the lab a pilot Research Grant to study asthma. Excited to do this work!
October 2016
We are excited to have Tucker Piergallini (BSGP graduate student) rotating in the laboratory. Good luck with your rotation project, Tucker!
We also warmly welcome Josh Chang, who is joining the lab as a Research Assistant. Excited to have you join the lab!
June 2016 News
This was a really exciting month with both student and grant awards! Graduate student Lindsay Webb received the SIB fellowship while undergraduate students Ayush Peddireddi and Joycelyn Dong received awards to support their summer internship.
The laboratory’s first R01 “Epigenetic modulation of T cell tolerance in Multiple Sclerosis autoimmunity” was awarded by NIH NIAID. We are excited to have the opportunity to do this work!
Our team was also funded by the National Center for Accelerated Innovations-Cleveland Clinic (NCAI-CC) to explore therapeutics commercialization through an iCorps cohort.

We are moving! Our new lab space is located in the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research (IBMR) building, aka Murray Hall. Some historic pictures from before the move. We have built great memories in this cozy space and it will keep a place in my heart as where I got the chance to start my own lab. Thank you Graves Hall B066!!
packing up the old lab below!!
And the new lab before moving in…

Mireia Guerau is on her way to the European Congress of Immunology thanks to the AAI Travel Award. Thank you AAI!
August 2015 News
Mireia Guerau has been invited to be a member of the American Association of Immunologists Minority Affairs Committee (MAC).
The mission of the Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) is to generate and promote programs that assure equal treatment of all professional immunologists on the basis of merit. The MAC focuses on activities that advance the scientific development and career opportunities for minority scientists, in order to make them “full-fledged” members of the scientific community. Minority scientists are as defined by the National Institute of Health guidelines to represent individuals from racial and ethnic groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related research nationally. For more information on the MAC Committee and its members, please visit AAI MAC Committee
Our lab outing to the Ohio State Fair was a gastronomic success. It was hard to choose between corn dogs, deep-fried Oreos, giant cream puffs and that refreshing lemonade! Pig races were a blast too for all scientists, including the youngest “scientist”!! 😉
