Excited to share our latest paper published today in @jitcancer. We demonstrate that #MAIT cells are present in #bladder tumors where they exhibit a MAIT17 phenotype, and promote #Treg cell accumulation and cancer progression. @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social @westernuresearch.bsky.social

Exciting work from @haeryfarlab.bsky.social! Their latest study explores the role of #MAIT cells in #BladderCancer. Check out this cutting-edge science in a full open-access article in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of cancer: jitc.bmj.com/content/13/9... #JITC #ImmunoSky #MedSky

Haeryfar Lab goes international!! 🌍 This week our amazing PhD candidate Nicole takes on the International Congress of Immunology in Vienna, Austria #IUIS2025 @iuis-online.bsky.social #WesternU @westernuresearch.bsky.social

From exploring a surprising new ally in the fight against bladder cancer to a world-first asthma study, #WesternU researchers attract more than $15M in federal funding from CIHR_IRSC.

Attractive @westernu.ca scholarships are now available to students who may have had an offer rescinded by a doctoral program at an American university. My lab will be thrilled to consider applications from eligible candidates.

Thrilled to share that our CIHR project grant on #BladderCancer has been funded. We are grateful to our collaborators & also to peer reviewers for their enthusiasm & support. More to report soon on our work on bladder cancer @westernu.ca @westernuresearch.bsky.social @schulichmeddent.bsky.social

Haeryfar Lab is officially on Bluesky 🥳
