Andre Limnander, Ph.D., Presents at the Neighborhood Science Seminar Series
Andre Limnander, Ph.D., director of immunology and inflammation at Regeneron, shared groundbreaking research during NYMC's and Regeneron's Neighborhood Science Seminar Series on May 8. His focus was on a therapeutic strategy to target distinct sources of IgE,a primary driver of allergic disorders, and durably reverse allergy. Dr. Limnander's team has found that IgE-switched cells display unique regulation relative to other isotypes, and allergic memory is primarily maintained by two main sources: IgG memory B cells that require class switching to IgE to generate new IgE-secreting cells, and pre-established IgE-secreting long-lived plasma cells. His team has further delineated a therapeutic strategy to target these distinct sources of IgE memory and durably reverse allergy.

Stress can be defined as a physical or emotional response, often a state of worry or mental tension, triggered by an external stressor. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, here are a few ways to mitigate or reduce stress from the Office of Student Mental Health and Wellness. | |

10 Ways to Reduce Stress
- Social interaction. Direct conversation works best. Go beyond texting and get some face-to-face time.
- Physical exercise.
- Engage in relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, guided meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery.
- Have fun and laugh.
- Engage in meaningful activities, hobbies, or things that bring you joy, even if it is only for a short amount of time. Remember it is always better to do something in a modified way than to not do it at all.
- Establish work-home boundaries.
- Try new and different ways of coping with stress. What worked at one time may not be as effective later, so we can improve health and well-being by expanding our selection of self-care tools.
- Get enough sleep.
- Develop a structured plan for your self-care. If you schedule it, it is more likely to happen. Block out time for breathing exercise, schedule a walk, set a reminder to call a friend, or to take a break.
- Know when to ask for help. If you are trying these things and still not feeling like yourself, it can be useful to speak to a licensed mental health professional. Don't allow yourself to struggle. Prolonged stress can cause significant health problems and support is available.
