PolyBio collaborators joined forces last week at a think tank meeting on pathogenic persistence biomarkers. The discussion focused on accessible biomarkers which showed promise for detecting chronic infections hidden in tissues.
These included immune biosensors, extracellular vesicles, and more.

What happens when researchers, clinicians, & advocates unite around a rare disease? Progress. In collaboration with Penny's Flight, @cshlbanbury.bsky.social gathered experts to rethink NF1 care. www.cshl.edu/nf1-scientif...
What shapes our health isn’t just DNA—it’s everything around us. At CSHL's Banbury Center (@cshlbanbury.bsky.social) scientists launched a bold vision for exposomics: the study of how environment meets biology. www.cshl.edu/exposomics-h...
This landmark meeting brought together experts across neuroscience and immunology to chart the future of the field—emphasizing collaboration, cutting-edge tools, and rethinking the way we define the neuroimmune system.
In 2024, an interdisciplinary group of scholars convened at Banbury to discuss the future of "Systems Neuroimmunology," exploring opportunities to drive the field forward.
