Still time to join our Flow Cytometry Core at the University of Aberdeen as a lead scientist

A new study from @drtesutherland.bsky.social (@uniofaberdeen.bsky.social) suggests future asthma treatments could reverse lung damage. Funded by @medresfdn.bsky.social + @asthmaandlung.org.uk, this research may transform care for asthma + other fibrosis-linked diseases.💡 📖➡️ https://bit.ly/4mHTOKq

We're looking for a Lead Scientist to join Flow Cytometry Centre in Aberdeen! Fantastic opportunity to deliver services, work with varied research groups, promote cytometry and further develop the facility. Aberdeen is a great place to live/work- APPLY NOW www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/cyto...

Exciting work by @drtesutherland.bsky.social! #ScienceImmunology uncovers chitinase like proteins as key drivers of airway ECM remodeling, blocking Ym1 can reverse it! #Immunology #RespiratoryResearch #SciOpen #TUP

Extremely happy to see our work out in #ScienceImmunology. We show allergen-induced ECM remodelling occurs independently of IL-13 or IL-17 driven inflammation. Rather chitinase-like proteins drive airway ECM accumulation & inhibition of Ym1 can remarkably reverse it. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Now in #Science #Immunology, @drtesutherland.bsky.social & al report chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) make distinct contributions to airway pathology independent of #IL13- & #IL17 –mediated signaling in 🐀 #asthna model! CLPs orchestrate airway #ECM remodeling, & can be both protective & detrimental!

Aberdeen is hiring - Neuroimmunology Lectureship! Really exciting opportunity to join our supportive, collaborative and multidisciplinary Institute to carry out cutting edge translation research. Not to mention the scenery in the North East of Scotland is amazing www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacanci...

Looking forward to @emds2025.bsky.social in my home town of Edinburgh this week! Will be at poster 48 on Wednesday with our work characterising macrophage dynamics in severe allergic asthma models.

Postdoc Appreciation Week #NPAW2025. We're lucky to have 2 postdocs in our Aberdeen Uni lab @mattoburgess.bsky.social and Dr.Anton. You guys are amazing, innovative, hardworking scientists, and so supportive of everyone and everything that happens in the lab & beyond. Thanks for everything you do!

Measuring properties of individual cells in relation to their neighbors in 3D tissues is challenging. @cellysally.bsky.social &co develop a computational toolkit to facilitate this, analyzing developmental patterning in mouse, chick & #Drosophila #embryo @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4lQMeNu

A major KI initiative to recruit new assistant professors with outstanding proposals in all areas of medicine, biomedicine and public health. We offer an amazing research environment, great colleagues and generous startup packages. Check it out and get working on your applications! (repost please!)

Immune responses are complex, often defying rigid classifications. The authors of a Comment article in Nature Reviews Bioengineering argue that researchers should rely on comprehensive single-cell data to guide analysis and should remain open to unexpected immunological complexity. 🔒

Still cannot believe it’s been nearly a week since I passed my viva 🌟 very proud to be the first Sutherland Lab baby and looking forward to seeing everything the future holds for this wonderful group @drtesutherland.bsky.social

Eastbio PhD time! This project is a cracker (not biased at all). ECM-cell cross-talk in the thymus and lung using spatial proteomics & developing computational models to analyse data with the amazing @mdmorgan.bsky.social lab. You'll get support, training and development opportunities. So excited!

What a journey! So proud of you @hetompkins.bsky.social for getting through the last 4 years and passing your viva (and enjoying it). Thanks for joining the lab way back and being the first graduate of the Sutherland lab.

I cannot recommend this enough. Tara and the other PIs at the IMS are building a fantastic research culture here. Happy to answer any DMs with questions about what it has been like to work here so far.

Join the Sutherland Lab in Aberdeen! We have a research fellow opening to explore IL-13 regulation of hyaluronan extracellular matrices drug lung injury, repair and chronic pathology with funding from @wellcometrust.bsky.social www.abdn.ac.uk/research/job...

🎉 the 1st paper from my post-doc is published 🎉 We found that #lunginjury caused by migration of N.brasiliensis induces an #IL-13 dependent #hyaluronan matrix. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Becky's paper is out! Watch our joyful collaborative team across Manchester, Aberdeen & Virginia unravel how the IL-13-induced HA matrix contributes to pathology vs repair in the lung (Thank you Wellcome) @becky-dodd.bsky.social @drtesutherland.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our latest preprint! - led by @makris1.bsky.social we find that Podoplanin expression in lymphoid tissue fibroblasts regulated their inflammatory signalling and crosstalk with immune cell populations doi.org/10.1101/2022...

Time to read this comprehensive review by Tony Day, part of our IL-13-HA team. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Watch this space for Becky’s paper on Il-13 and Hyaluronan in the lung after nematode migration. @becky-dodd.bsky.social @drtesutherland.bsky.social

Nicely introduced @becky-dodd.bsky.social! New lab pre-print 🎉 explores a new approach of bringing ECM analysis into high-dimensional spatial datasets in the context of lung allergic pathology....cell-cell communication is important but don't forget the ECM! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Leaving sunny Aberdeen for Manchester and the @thestemvillage.bsky.social immunology symposium tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up with folks, meeting new people and hearing some great talks!

Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c

I'm saying this from the obviously unbiased position of being Tara's neighbour, but her lab is ON FIRE 🔥 cutting edge spatial proteomics with ECM-immune/stromal interactions. Tara is an amazing and caring person, you genuinely couldn't ask for a better postdoc advisor.

My lab in Aberdeen, in the stunning North East of Scotland, will soon be recruiting for a post-doc to studying immune-ECM interactions in the lung. If you love IL-13, Hyaluronan, ECM biology, pulmonary immune responses....Get in touch and keep an eye out for the position.

Back in April 2020, I did a challenge to create 26 pieces of lung artwork in a day (~14 hours) to raise money for Asthma UK I found all the pics this morning sooooo… 1 like = 1 piece 🐡

Calling all UK researchers and carers (including parents!) 🚨 The deadline for the #CarersInSTEMM Survey has been EXTENDED to 08/11/24 - and we want to hear from you! Tell us about your experiences and help us make a difference! Spread the word! 📣 Why wait? ⏰ Take the survey here: t.co/fpCZgDVrrG
