Rebeca Arroyo-Hornero received a Young Investigation Award for her research in regulatory T cell therapy for transplantation. Rebeca completed her work under the supervision of Dr. Joanna Hester and Dr. Fadi Issa, principal investigators at the Transplantation Research Immunology Group at the University of Oxford. Regulatory T cells are currently being tested as a cellular therapy in transplant patients aiming at promoting transplant tolerance and reducing levels of immunosuppression chemotherapy. In this particular study it was found that expression of CD70 identifies unstable regulatory T cells that lose their suppressive abilities and, instead, induce a pro-inflammatory microenvironment and T cell proliferation. All suggests that modulation of the CD27/CD70 pathway may allow for the generation of regulatory T cells with enhanced suppressive properties after in vitro expansion.
Rebeca is currently completing her PhD at the University of Oxford, studying cellular therapies for transplantation. She is interested in discerning how regulatory T cells suppress the immune response and finding new methods for controlling the stability and suppressive activity of regulatory T cells to produce an effective clinical cellular therapy.

Unfinished
And then, of course, there are the kids. Just when I think we’ve gotten past a rough patch and can sail along for a while, I discover a new challenge around the bend. Right now we are in the midst of college applications—a year of seemingly endless forms and appointments with a lot of unknowns. Even when the question of what happens next year (or for the next four years) is resolved there will be another unknown: what comes next for my soon-to-be-adult child? The empty nest may be a finish line of sorts, but the joys and trials of parenting don’t end just because the kids move out of the house. The dailyness of parenting diminishes, but they’ll always be my kids. Bigger kids just means bigger problems. In some ways, every person on the planet is in some stage of transition.
In my discouragement about everything that is unfinished, I realize that the most unfinished thing of all is me. The same little sins keep cropping up, reminding me that I haven’t conquered them after all. I find new areas of weakness, things I didn’t realize about myself, and now that I’ve seen them, I want to fix them. To check them off my to-do list.
Back in the old days wealthy families would send their girls to “finishing school,” and right about now that sounds like a nice place to be.
