Shastri was a Professor at UC Berkeley from 1987–2018 and a cornerstone of the immunology community. He served as MCB Immunology and Pathogenesis Division Head from 2010–2015, was a gifted and dedicated teacher and will be remembered for his kind spirit and generous nature.
Congratulations to MCB professor Douglas Koshland on receiving the 2021 Genetics Society of America Medal!
UC Berkeley graduate student Juan Manuel Perez Bertoldi writes about the latest study from the lab of professor Eva Nogales, published recently in Science Magazine.
David Raulet and Nilabh Shastri have been announced as 2021 American Association of Immunologists (AAI) Distinguished Fellows, which recognizes members for distinguished careers and outstanding scientific contributions as well as service to AAI and the immunology community.
Despite 2020 being a challenging year for us all, there have also been some incredible silver linings for MCB. As a department, we couldn't be more proud of how our community came together to find new innovative ways to excel in research, teaching, and public service.
