What a conference!! Thank you @britsocimm.bsky.social Immunometabolism affinity group for an amazing 2 days in Newcastle for #UKimmunomet26 - learned so much and met even more amazing people it was the best! 🤩🤓🤩

Sad I missed @dianaematei.bsky.social smashing it at the #BSIimmunometabolism conference bright sparks session… but incredibly happy to be at #EWRR in beautiful Lubeck with the best conference entertainment of all time. The Rosser group seems to be on tour this week!

Gutted to be missing this!

How does the environment influence immunity? 🌍 Join us on 11 Sept in London for an event with @london-immuno.bsky.social to explore how microbes, diet, pollution & stress affect immune responses in health & disease #LIG26 Register early for a discount! vist.ly/4w2je

Brilliant to hear @uniofexeternews.bsky.social awarded £4.5M from @wellcometrust.bsky.social to develop specialist bioimaging tools for WHO-priority fungal pathogens. Led by #ListerFellow Liz Ballou @balloulab.bsky.social at @mrccmm.bsky.social. Huge congrats, a fastastic achievement 👏

Just in case you missed it!

It’s world young rheumatic disease (WORD) day. A reminder that children & young people develop a rheumatic diseases. This is a particular specialism of our centre. Check out @ciurtinlab.bsky.social @georgearobinson.bsky.social @jury-lab.bsky.social @bcellsrosser.bsky.social to find out more!

It’s WORD (world young rheumatic disease) day - raising awareness that children & young people develop diseases of joints & muscle. As a research community we work together to do this everyday, please read our recent @theconversation.com article as an example: theconversation.com/why-arthriti...

Just a B&W snap from the archives today. Here's a view of the Lister Institute's former Chelsea Bridge Road building, built 1894-98, later extended. Now the private Lister Hospital. Image from the Wellcome Collection via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Th...

Looks amazing!

We don't know why women are more likely to develop autoimmune diseases than men. @bcellsrosser.bsky.social & her group at UCL are looking into the role of sex & gender in immunity. Recently, the group examined differences in immune cell responses between men & women with #lupus: shorturl.at/XBRRe

Yes I’m retweeting my own post… in case you need some weekend reading!!

Excited to share the latest preprint from the lab "Fluctuating environments are sufficient to drive substantial variability in species abundance across locations" now up on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2603.02403 🎉

A paper at some point seemed that it would be left in a lab book and was worked on through a pandemic. Thanks to @dianaematei.bsky.social for persevering with this one. Please check it out 👇 www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Chronic fatigue syndrome is debilitating & often underdiagnosed, especially in women. @theguardian.com shares a first-hand account: shorturl.at/2hhUK We’re funding research to better understand chronic pain, including Dr Robert Drake’s work on sex differences in pain development: shorturl.at/a4TzV

Type I interferons are a key driver of muscle damage in autoimmune myositis. Using two mouse models, this study showed that tofacitinib reduces the IFN signature in muscle, and that IFNβ overexpression directly induces muscle inflammation and weakness A&R doi.org/10.1002/art....

How age, sex and genetics shape our antibodies ? A team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the @cnrs.fr and the @college-de-france.fr have shown that these factors determine not only the quantity of antibodies produced but also the specific viral regions they target. ↘️

Check out @madhvimenon.bsky.social 🌟 new paper on refractory myasthenia gravis - such an important unmet need. Congratulations Madhvi and the whole team!

It’s my favourite day of the year - @greatormondst.bsky.social birthday! My group is incredibly lucky to collaborate in a small way with this incredible hospital, its staff, patients and their families. Anyone fancy signing up for a 8K swim? www.gosh.org/get-involved...

Lung cancer in never-smokers represents a growing share of lung cancer cases and is often diagnosed later, leading to worse outcomes. A new review led by Dr Deborah Caswell @uclmedsci.bsky.social calls for more funding to improve screening, detection and prevention of this form of the disease
