A landmark WEHI-led study has uncovered how our daily food choices are having an immediate effect on our gut health. Brilliant research led byDr Cyril Seillet and Dr Le Xiong, that could help pinpoint #chronicinflammation at the source. Now published in Immunity. www.wehi.edu.au/news/fast-fo...

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨 Thrilled to share our latest research out today in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social! This work is another great outcome of my amazing clinical research partnership with first author Samantha Chan and RMH. @wehi-research.bsky.social #immunology #research #JCI

Excited to have our latest research published in @jem.org this week and also highlighted by @natrevimmunol.nature.com @wehi-research.bsky.social @benjbroom.bsky.social

Future vaccines a step closer. Research from @groomlab.bsky.social, @benjbroom.bsky.social and team use novel approach and mRNA tech to boost stem cell-like memory CD8+ T cells after vaccination. Published in @jem.org www.wehi.edu.au/news/vaccine...

Our May issue is here! rupress.org/jem/issue/22... Cleary et al. (doi.org/10.1084/jem....) developed a new intravital technique for imaging pulmonary lymphatics. The cover depicts a 3D projection of a whole lung lobe with lymphatics (purple) and smooth muscle (white) labeled.

@benjbroom.bsky.social et al. @groomlab.bsky.social show that transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection. rupress.org/jem/article/... 📘 In JEM #Immunology Collection: rupress.org/jem/collecti... #AAI2025

This year's JEM #Immunology collection highlights recent findings in the field of B cells, CD8+ T cell stemness, priming and differentiation, CD4+ T cell heterogeneity, autoimmunity, lymphatic immunophysiology and innate immune signaling. 👉 rupress.org/jem/collecti... #AAI2025

Thrilled to share our work now published on @cp-immunity.bsky.social . Big thanks to our collaborators. Here we show that short-term High-Fat diet impairs ILC3 functions in producing IL-22 through microbiota-dependent and-independent mechanisms.

Happy one week of my @jem.org paper! Our work from the @groomlab.bsky.social at @wehi-research.bsky.social identifies using early IFN-I blockade alongside mRNA vaccination to direct CD8+ T cell positioning in the lymph node to drive Tscm cell differentiation and enhance vaccine protection

#WeekendRead! #InterferonFriendOrFoe! @benjbroom.bsky.social @groomlab.bsky.social &co show @jem.org that transient type I IFN inhibition upon LCMV infection or a mRNA vaccine boosts stem-like memory CD8 T cells by altering their location within the draining lymph node, potentiating virus protection

Very excited our work out in @jem.org “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection” @wehi-research.bsky.social led by talented (and determined) PhD student @benjbroom.bsky.social Thread below.

@benjbroom.bsky.social et al. @groomlab.bsky.social show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation & cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells rupress.org/jem/article/...

So lucky to be in a lab that does great science AND indulges in a weird photoshoot 🫶 Happy holidays!
