Our newest work is out in Nature Immunology! Led by Maria Steele, PhD with the help of many others from the lab and key collaborators at Weill Cornell and OHSU.
Check out the NYULH press release
Maria Steele is off (!) after an awesome ~5 years in the lab exploring the rules of T cell egress from melanoma. Maria will be starting a new Scientist position at Century Therapeutics in Seattle. Congratulations Maria!
A bit delayed, but nevertheless we are excited to have Austin Schultz join our team as a Research Associate. Welcome to the lab!
A thought piece on how to think about lymphatic transport, lymphangiogenesis, and lymph node biology in the context of cancer immunotherapy. Enjoy!
Welcome to the lab! Sunny Son (computational bio intern), Ines Delclaux (grad student), and Yodit Girmay (visiting med student). June 30, 2022
Congratulations to Fillio who won the Immunology & Inflammation WIP Challenge - thesis project in 90 seconds! June 22, 2022.
Amanda was awarded the 2022 AACR-BMS MidCareer Female Investigator Grant at the AACR Annual Meeting, April 12, 2022.
Congratulations to Haley du Bois who received a 9th percentile on her F31 Award resubmission!
The Lab received its second R01 from NIH/NIAMS, to investigate lymphatic remodeling in the context of cutaneous viral infection and its impact on host defense and adaptive immunity. We’re hiring!
Congratulations to our two newest PhD candidates - Tenny Mudianto and Triantafyllia Karakousi!!!
The Lund Lab had a fantastic Lab Retreat September 2021. Proud of our team and excited for what we have coming!
Congratulations to Filio Karakousi who was awarded the A.G. Leventis Foundation Fellowship and published a second-author manuscript in Cancer Discovery in her previous role with Thales Papagiannakopolous @NYULH!!
Congratulations to Haley du Bois and Taylor Heim for their excellent review out in Science Immunology describing the role of the tumor-draining lymph node in metastasis and immunity. With a cover feature! September 2021
The Lund Lab is thrilled to welcome Katie Ventre (MD/PhD), Annie Chen (undergraduate researcher), and Raisa Eram (summer intern) to the team.
Cameron Hill has been a incredible member of our team over the last year. She has single handedly optimized multiplexed protocols, and stained and imaged massive amounts of melanoma. We are sorry to see her go but thrilled to watch her grow at Harvard Med and beyond. Good luck Cameron!
Maria Steele and Haley du Bois gave fantastic presentations on their work at the 2021 Virtual Lymphatic Forum!!
The Lund Lab welcomes Triantafyllia Karakousi (graduate student) and Alex Figueroa (research assistant) to the team! #WomeninSTEM
Congratulations to Maria Steele, PhD for her review out this week on afferent lymphatic transport and peripheral tissue immunity. A terrific effort during peak pandemic times. Lymphatic transport provides an important framework for immunity - we continue to dig in to understand how this all works.
Taylor Heim successfully passed his qualifying exam and is officially a PhD candidate in the Immunology & Inflammation Program at NYU.
The Lund Lab welcomes three new lab members! Ian Dryg, PhD, Tenny Mudianto, and Cameron Hill!! Excited to have them on board and looking forward to fun science ahead.
Haley du Bois successfully passed her qualifying exam and is officially a PhD candidate in the Cell Biology Program at NYU.
The Lund Lab has officially moved to NYU. We are settling in and waiting out this period of uncertainty with everyone else. We hope everyone stays safe and look forward to sharing our work with you soon.
Madeline Churchill has been a force in the lab (especially these last 6 months), driving an exciting project and taking us to the ultrastructural level with EM. We will miss her greatly in the lab but are so excited to see what she accomplishes in the second half of her PhD work with the amazing Isabella Rauch @ OHSU. Look for her work coming out soon!
Thanks to Aubrey Pierce for all her work in the lab over the last year. Wishing you all the best with your continued career!
Madeline Churchill (left) and Maria Steele both gave excellent oral presentations at the Keystone Symposium on Stromal Cells in Immunity and Disease. Taylor Heim was also invited to present his work on the Keystone Symposium on T Cell Memory! Well done all!
The Lund Lab said goodbye to Ryan Lane, PhD after 5 years! Ryan heads to Genentech to work with Shannon Turley. Congrats Ryan!
Amanda is named a 2020 Emerging Leader by the Mark Foundation for Cancer Research and awarded funds to support the use of chemical biology tools to track the lymph-borne melanoma secretome in vivo (January 6, 2020).
We are moving! The Lund Lab will be relocating to NYU as a new member of the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology in New York, NY. The Lund Lab will be officially open January 1, 2020 with a full move by April. Postdoc Maria Steele and graduate students Haley du Bois and Taylor Heim will be making the cross-country move and we are excited to recruit new members to our team.
Amanda publishes a perspective in Healio (November 1, 2019) describing our work exploring lymphatic vessel regulation of immune responses, where we hope to go with our CRI funding, and how we may ultimately impact immunotherapy and human health.
Check out the Frontiers in Immunology Research Topic “Regulation of Immune Function by the Lymphatic Vasculature” edited by Amanda in collaboration with Beth Tamburini and Tim Padera.
Madeline Churchill successfully passes her qualifying exam and is officially a PhD candidate in the MMI program at OHSU!
Ryan Lane successfully defends his dissertation (July 1, 2019) entitled “The Contribution of Lymphatic and Blood Endothelial Cell PD-L1 to Leukocyte Accumulation in Skin”!
Amanda is named a Lloyd J. Old STAR by the Cancer Research Institute and awarded 5 years of flexible funding to support new and innovative research projects (June 21, 2019).
Welcome to the Lund Lab Aubrey Pierce, Haley du Bois, and Taylor Heim!!
