Congratulations to Rachel Van Gelder, a recently minted PhD from the Ram lab! Rachel’s articlein EMBO Reports shows how IL-2 & IL-12 work together to enhance IFNγ production in NK cells. IL-2 splices IFNG mRNA introns, increasing protein levels via NF-κB signaling. She uncovers a novel role for cytokine-induced splicing in immunity!
The Department of Immunology is pleased to congratulate Dr. Rachel Van Gelder, Immunology graduate student in the Ram lab, for the successful defense of her dissertation entitled “Interleukin-2 mediated NF-kB-dependent mRNA splicing induces interferon gamma protein production.”
Rachel’s defense took place on August 8, 2024 at 11:00 am in Orin Smith Auditorium in Seattle, Washington Congratulations, Rachel!! Source: https://www.immunology.washington.edu/2024/08/08/congratulations-dr-rachel-van-gelder/
