It’s hard to believe that this marks the sixth year of our program! Five incredible cohorts of students have traveled from Spain to LSU Health Shreveport, and the program continues to grow stronger each year.

Over these years, we’ve shared countless memories, scientific discoveries, and meaningful moments together. Our greatest hope is that we’ve planted a seed in each of our students, a passion for bringing science to people and a commitment to creating opportunities for future generations.

A heartfelt thank you to LSU Health Shreveport and Fundación Barrié for making this collaboration possible, and to all the students who have trusted us with their training and shared so many treasured experiences. We miss you all and please stay in touch and reach out anytime!

Introducing Our New Identity: The BREATHE Gestal Lab

For years, our research has centered on understanding how Bordetella species manipulate the host immune system to persist and reshape airway biology causing. Our work revealed an unexpected player in this story: eosinophils. Traditionally associated with parasitic infections and allergies, eosinophils turn out to play a powerful and surprising role in bacterial infections.From demonstrating how Bordetella induces eosinophil-rich iBALT structures, to showing that eosinophils

Amazing ABRCMS 2025

My first time at ABRCMS, and certainly not the last. I had the privilege of judging the work of the next generation of scientists, many of them undergraduates, and their research was truly outstanding. The level of talent, enthusiasm, and mentorship on display was inspiring. I have also meet with mentors, leaders on the field, and colleagues. What an incredible meeting celebrating the achievements of these remarkable students

Incredible to catch up with mentors

ABRCMS meeting is being amazing so far. But one of the best things at this meeting is the opportunity to catch with mentors and friends.
