🚨 A new £50M MRC Centre at @manchester.ac.uk and @ox.ac.uk will explore how pollution, microbes & other environmental exposures rewire our immune system and cause chronic inflammatory diseases. #Exposome #ImmunoSky sites.manchester.ac.uk/lydia-becker...

Super excited to announce that MRC has funded a new Centre of Research Excellence in Exposome Immunology. Working together, Manchester and Oxford are going to tackle a major challenge of our times. For those who wonder what the Exposome is - see yesterday's posts! www.ukri.org/news/centre-...

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.

Really pleased with our new research team lab photo taken by @thelabninja.bsky.social

What a great way to start this account and end the week: our preprint describing how dermal γδ T cells mediate a skin-lung axis during parasite infection in mice is online! I'm excited to show the findings of my main postdoc project with @profjudiallen.bsky.social!🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
