From @lr_bio

Lauren Richardson, Ph.D@lr_bio

Your immune system has two arms: innate and adaptive. Many cancers hijack the innate to protect themselves from the adaptive. On Bio Eats World, I talk to @WillemNANO about his group's work to get the innate back to working for the human using nanotech https://t.co/UslF6i38eT

Hey #ScienceTwitter - my friend from my postdoc lab is setting up her first western blot in her newly established lab (so exciting!) and is looking for advice on best antibody suppliers, equipment, reagents, etc. Let's help her out! (more specifics 👇)

Lauren Richardson, Ph.D@lr_bio
