Our recent paper details a strategy, co-developed with the Love Lab at MIT, for pairing TCR sequencing with whole-transcriptome profiling in single-cells via 3′-barcoded techniques. Using a targeted pulldown and amplification method, we are able to sequence TCR CDR3 regions...
We’re stoked to have this paper up! We present our work finding new roles for sensory neurons within inflammatory responses and previously unappreciated axes of neuro-immune crosstalk. Led by Shalek lab MD-PhD student Carly Ziegler and post doc Tracy Huang...
A recent paper published in Nature from the Shalek lab and collaborators was featured in NIH News. Ardain et. al. demonstrate that group 3 innate lymphoid cells localize to the lungs soon after M. tuberculosis infection, providing an early line...
Immunity celebrates its 25th anniversary at an exciting time in immunology, marked by the advent of new, door-opening approaches and a deeper understanding of the centrality of the immune system to both health and disease. Alex is among 25 investigators...
Our work combining microfluidic identification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and single-cell profiling is currently highlighted on MIT News, while the forthcoming paper is set to appear in the Jan. 21 issue of PNAS. This work represents an ongoing collaboration...

Our collaborative work with the Regev and Xavier labs is now available as a pre-print. Read the abstract below or read the complete version on the BioRxiv. Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed risk alleles for ulcerative colitis (UC), but...
Our paper on basal cell memory in type 2 inflammation published in a recent issue of Nature is the subject of a preview article in Immunity: “In a recent issue of Nature, Ordovas-Montanes et al. (2018) used cutting-edge genomic, epigenetic, and interventional techniques to characterize...
The Shalek Lab’s latest publication in Nature Methods describes Seq-Well, a portable, low-cost platform for single-cell RNA-sequencing that was developed in collaboration with the Love lab....
The Shalek Lab’s latest publication exploring metastatic melanoma using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) in collaboration with the Regev and Garraway labs was previewed in an answer and question session with its lead authors Itay Tirosh nd Benjamin Izar. ...
Kimmerling et al., a joint paper between the Manalis and Shalek labs, has now been featured in Nature Methods Research Highlights. Check out the coverage of our microfluidic generation tracking device below!...
A recent Nature Communications publication between the Shalek and Manalis labs has been featured in MIT news. Kimmerling et al., demonstrate a micro-fluidic device capable of tracking of gene expression in single cells as cells divide and generate progeny. While...
