We're hiring! Come join our lab in Oxford as a research assistant and study peptide recognition of MHC molecules - please reach our for more details! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOW691/r...

There are 4 places left at the SIP Symposium 2025. Hurry up and register before you miss your chance.. sip-sassenheim.org

'Superresolution microscopy has revealed a nanoscale rearrangement of NK cell receptors at the cell surface upon cellular activation. An emerging idea is that the activation and inhibition of immune cells is influenced by the nanoscale proximities of receptor clusters' www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Society for Immune Polymorphism Memberships are now available through SquareUp. Join today and receive membership through end of 2026. We offer a range of membership types. Visit this storefront to join the society. immunepolymorphism.square.site

Balking tradition, we will NOT be extending the abstract deadline for the Society for Immune Polymorphism Symposium, as we have lots of exciting abstracts to choose from already. If you would like to attend, there are still some spots available for registration: sip-sassenheim.org/registration/

I am seeking a postdoc for my group at UCLA. We work at the intersection of population genetics x microbiome (garud.eeb.ucla.edu). If interested, please message me!

Are you bravely deciding to do a postdoc in the US? And also interested in some combination of genomics, immunology, and transposons? If so, consider applying to my lab at the BioFrontiers Institute in Boulder, Colorado! jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta... 🧪🧬 #TESky #interferosky

Data in @jimmunol.bsky.social revealed the role of #malaria in Burkitt lymphoma, the most common childhood cancer in equatorial Africa and New Guinea. Reducing malaria could also reduce Burkitt #lymphoma said @rosemaryroch4d, who led the study @cuanschutz.bsky.social. Learn more: ow.ly/tTKg50VI6qR.

Delighted that this review is now accepted and online. We review evidence from us and others that germline-encoded receptors of the innate immune system can detect peptides presented by MHC molecules, some with high peptide-specificity. t.co/9EKH2SpGEy
