📢Postdoc Opportunity! Join us in beautiful Ottawa to study γδ T cells in health&disease. Ideal for PhD immunologists in innate lymphocytes, who will lead projects in spectral flow cytometry, multi-omics and in vivo models. Send CV+cover letter to Z. Djaoud. @forum-gd.bsky.social #gdTcells #NKcells

@zdjaoud.bsky.social & team @djaoudlab.bsky.social report KIR surface proteins distinguish 2 human γδ T-cell subsets: one memory-like with strong effector potential & another less-differentiated subset with a naïve-like phenotype: doi.org/10.1172/jci....

The edited version of our latest manuscript is now online! We show that KIR⁺γδ T cells are enriched in CMV⁺ individuals and that KIR expression marks γδ T-cell differentiation, cytotoxicity and immune adaptation @insight.jci.org #gdTcells @forum-gd.bsky.social #CMV insight.jci.org/articles/vie...

Thanks, @forum-gd.bsky.social, for sharing our preprint! The final edited version will be available soon!

At our latest lab journal club, with Angélque Cayer, we discussed PMC10711208: a study showing γδ T cells preferentially kill HPV-transformed and cancer cervical organoids, linked to DNA-damage pathways & BTN3A1/BTN2A1. #γδTcells #CancerImmunology #HPV #Organoids www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

More than an association. Looks like it’s through EBNA2! By @shady-myounis.bsky.social et al., @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

At yesterday’s lab journal club, with @yeganeh-almasi.bsky.social, we discussed PMC10848161: A case study showing γδ T cells driving lasting anti-tumor immunity during PD-1 blockade in Merkel cell carcinoma. @natcomms.nature.com #Immunotherapy #γδTcells www.nature.com/articles/s41...

At today’s lab journal club, we discussed PMC12306285: a trispecific killer engager targeting B7-H3 that boosts NK cell activity against head & neck cancer, even under hypoxia. #Immunotherapy #NKcells #CancerResearch #ImmunoSky jitc.bmj.com/content/13/7...

My lab (1st photo), together with the Djaoud lab (2nd photo) took a little break from the lab to enjoy the stunning fall colors and crisp air at Gatineau Park. It was a refreshing gathering, full of connection and shared appreciation for each other, celebrating the accomplishments this past semester

We had an amazing γδ T Cell Conference with @yeganeh-almasi.bsky.social, @marileel.bsky.social & the incredible #gdTcells community, @forum-gd.bsky.social. Yeganeh & Marilee presented their work on KIR-enriched polyclonal γδ T cells in cancer immunotherapy. See you all in Wrocław in two years!

The program for the 11th International γδ T Cell Conference is now live! Visit www.gammadeltatoronto.ca and register before the early bird deadline (Jan 13). #gdTcells #gd2025 #BestConferenceEver

CMV elicits an expansion of CD16+CD8+ innate-like T cells, including αβ and γδ T cells, in utero. @jclinical-invest.bsky.social www.jci.org/articles/vie...
