Three more sleeps! We're looking forward to seeing you on Monday at our syposium! ⬇️⬇️⬇️🧫🦠🧪🔬🥼

Closing session 1 is Raul Y Sanchez David @qmulfmd.bsky.social. A fascinating talk on self-amplifying mRNA, its interaction with our innate immunity and how we can exploit and modulate its function!

Time for our career panel: Tina Chowdhury (Reader, QMUL), @peterwshill.bsky.social (Group leader KCL), Cat Gale (Producer/Director), Henry Blest (Co-founder @polarilabs.bsky.social), Catrin Beetham (Policy adviser) and Aimé Palomeras (Clinical Project Manager @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social).

We are heading straight into session 3 of our selected talks. @wjbranchett.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk is up first, focussing on M. tuberculosis infection. #LINEsymposium2025

Our next speaker in this session is Audrey Peters (@imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social showcasing her work on phage-bacteria interactions in complex environments, spanning in vitro and in vivo models. #LINEsymposium2025

Our last (but not least) selected speaker for today is @immun0liver.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk with a great talk on how ADP-ribosylation poses an important barrier to infection that viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have to overcome. #LINEsymposium2025

This has been a fantastic day! We’re excited that we are ending on an inspiring keynote by @amayabustinduy.bsky.social @lshtm.bsky.social on her science focussing on schistosomiasis and reflecting on her journey as a clinical scientist. #LINEsymposium2025

Thanks again to @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social for the invitation to speak at their excellent annual symposium. A really positive community of impressive ECRs. 5 star review!

Next in session 2 is Chloe Rees-Spear @ucl.ac.uk presenting her work using a novel tonsil organoid system to study human antigen-specific germinal centre B cell responses to viral infections. #LINEsymposium2025

Half-time: (1) Grab some lunch, (2) head to the poster display area for more exciting science, (2) meet our sponsors, (3) learn about to how your institutes provide mental health support at our #MFHA stall and (4) network with your infection science peers! #LINEsymposium2025

Next up in session 1: Tom Williams @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social presenting his work on fungal infection in the airways to understand key immunological pathways that drive airway disease. #LINEsymposium2025

We’re excited to have @laurawolz.bsky.social and @carterlj.bsky.social from @carersinstemm.bsky.social with us today to tell us about their important work advocating for equitable and accessible support for those balancing caring and career. #LINEsymposium2025

Our third speaker in session 2 is Wenye Ma @bristoluni.bsky.social who is studying interkingdom interactions between fungi and bacteria with the aim to combat Group B Streptococcus neonatal disease. #LINEsymposium2025

Happy Monday! Welcome to our 3rd annual #LINEsymposium2025! Registration is open: Grab your badge and some refreshments. We’re looking forward to having you!

Great start to the day with our plenary and session 1! Time for a mid-morning refreshment break #LINEsymposium2025! Do check out our #MHFA stall and chat to our sponsors when you have a chance. Don't miss out on our sponsor bingo, there are prizes to win!

Excited to attend my first London-based symposium! A great day ahead at #LINEsymposium2025- scientific talks, career based sessions and networking. What a great opportunity to meet with other ECRs with similar research interests! @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social

Energized into session 2: How do antibiotics kill bacteria? @ejadouglas.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social  is casting light onto the mode of action of polymyxin. #LINEsymposium2025

And we’re off with the session 1 of selected abstracts at #LINEsymposium2025: first up @atlopezjimenez.bsky.social @lshtm.bsky.social showcasing a novel proximity labelling approach to discover mechanisms of cell-autonomous immunity against bacteria.

Pumped to be at the @crick.ac.uk today to present a flash talk and poster from my PhD work on #HIVcure in the @goffinetlab.bsky.social at the @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social symposium

First session ! @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social #LINEsymposium2025

We’re starting off with the invited plenary by @grovearmada.bsky.social (@cvrinfo.bsky.social). An inspiring tour de force about using AI for discovery science to understand the virosphere! #LINEsymposium2025

This #LINEsymposium2025 is made possible by our funders and sponsors: @biologists.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk NEB @promegauk.bsky.social @proteintech.bsky.social @2bscientific.com @cytiva.bsky.social @stratechscientific.bsky.social INTEGRA @twistbioscience.com @stemcell.com THISTLEScientific avantor

Excited for the LINE Symposium 2025!!! @mariondelphin.bsky.social @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social

Finally, this is getting serious! #neubiaspasteur2025 @jwpylvanainen.bsky.social @biapyx.bsky.social

Day 1 of #neubiaspasteur2025 Image Analysis course in the Analysts track: @danielkrentzel.bsky.social teaches the creation of @napari.org plugins. And on day #1, the students have group projects! 😲 But things are going great as you can judge

Day 5 - practising the art of tracking with @jytinevez.bsky.social and Laura Xénard.

Just arrived to Institute Pasteur in Paris for Neubias Image analysis course. Todays opening talk about the future of bioimage analysis by @florianjug.bsky.social - very cool week ahead! #neubiaspasteur2025

I’m delighted to share my final project with @sergemostowylab.bsky.social at @lshtm.bsky.social: Shigella-trained zebrafish macrophages are more pro-inflammatory and have enhanced antibacterial activity 🐠🦠🔬🛡️ www.cell.com/cell-reports... Thank you for all your help Dominik! More news to follow 🤩

After nearly 2 years of striving for research independence, I’m thrilled to share that my work and I have found a home at @warwicklifesci.bsky.social. Today was my first day as Assistant Professor — excited for what’s ahead! 🤩 🐠🔬🦠 Deep thanks to all the mentors who’ve supported me on the way

We can see our ECR-focused LINE symposium already on the horizon (9th of June) @crick.ac.uk. shorturl.at/MyWNl 🥳 You can submit your abstracts (talk or poster) until the EXTENDED DEADLINE on the 12th of May here: shorturl.at/7KuXL Free registration shorturl.at/wLyWY We're excited to see you there!
