I'm excited to make it #TwitterOfficial that I will be joining the Dept of Immunology at the University of Manitoba as an Assistant Professor and GSK Research Chair in Immunology of Infectious Diseases as of Nov 1, 2020!! @UM_Immu @UM_RadyFHS @umanitoba #newPI 1/5

I am so grateful to have this opportunity especially in these tough times. Thanks to all my mentors & colleagues over the yrs (most are not on Twitter). 2 undergrad summers with @NRC_CNRC & an amazing 5yrs at @UW Immunology with mentor Dr. Keith Elkon before back to 🇨🇦 2/5

Thank you to Dr. Michael Houghton & Dr. Lorne Tyrrell @LKSIoV for your mentorship & allowing me to build my own research program that I am excited to bring to @umanitoba where many new collaborations are possible. Thanks to everyone @UAlberta_MMI who helped along the way! 3/5

Even though starting a lab during a pandemic isn't exactly ideal, I have no doubt I will have the support of the chair @AaronNyeguy and rest of the @UM_Immu dept and beyond! Updates to follow regarding future technician hiring and student positions 4/5

Feel free to message me if you have future research interests in human interferon biology, immune response regulation and antiviral immunity! Or any other #NewPIs starting a lab during the pandemic to support each other.... time to join @NewPI_Slack 😀 5/5
