Wishing a happy 82nd birthday to immunogeneticist Georgia M. Dunston! Growing up in segregated Norfolk, Virginia, she earned her PhD in 1972, and by 1985 she was director of the Human Immunogenetics Lab, focusing on issues affecting organ transplant success in the Black community.

1/6 🧬 NEW COMMENTARY 🧬
Let’s talk about the challenges in immunoglobulin (IG) & T cell receptor (TR) gene nomenclature in the era of modern genomics.
A 🧵 on why it’s time to rethink how we name these genes—and what it means for immunogenetics.
