Hey "Friends" The 2025 edition of our #AwkwardLabPhoto celebrates an incredible year of growth, publications, promotions, PhD submissions and grads I feel immensely proud and grateful to be part of this team

🎉🥂 our @jem.org paper “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection” is in the 2025 Best of JEM collection This work was led by @benjbroom.bsky.social @wehi-research.bsky.social check out the original thread.. bsky.app/profile/groo...

Fantastic to wrap up the year with a lab retreat at CERES East Brunswick: Celebrating some nice wins in 2025 and setting us up for 2026 and beyond @wehi-research.bsky.social @benjbroom.bsky.social @brigetteduckworth.bsky.social @raymondqin.bsky.social @chinweetan.bsky.social

What a incredible week in Perth attending #ASI2025! 🔬🧪 A huge thank you to ASI for the opportunity to present my latest work, and to everyone who came along to hear all about my favourite topic: lymph nodes! (Obligatory Quokka photo obviously included)

Big month for the @groomlab.bsky.social ✨ So excited to see this work out and with a GORGEOUS cover as well! 🙌🏼

Thrilled to have our latest research @wehi-research.bsky.social published in @natimmunol.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... This work was an outstanding partnership between talented PhD student Len Dalit (now postdoc, no 🦋) and bioinformatician @chinweetan.bsky.social Thread below...

Had a fantastic evening presenting my research at the launch of the 2025 WEHI Art of Science Exhibition last week. Such a wonderful opportunity to engage with the wider community through science and art! 🎨🖌️ @wehi-research.bsky.social

LoxCode: innovative new tech, provides individual cells with one of billions of DNA barcodes. An ancestry test for every cell. Top research from Prof Shalin Naik + Dr Tom Weber + team in @cellcellpress.bsky.social. LoxCode mice available at @jacksonlab.bsky.social www.wehi.edu.au/news/barcode...

Thrilled to share our work now published on @cp-immunity.bsky.social . Big thanks to our collaborators. Here we show that short-term High-Fat diet impairs ILC3 functions in producing IL-22 through microbiota-dependent and-independent mechanisms.

Happy one week of my @jem.org paper! Our work from the @groomlab.bsky.social at @wehi-research.bsky.social identifies using early IFN-I blockade alongside mRNA vaccination to direct CD8+ T cell positioning in the lymph node to drive Tscm cell differentiation and enhance vaccine protection

@benjbroom.bsky.social et al. @groomlab.bsky.social show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation & cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells rupress.org/jem/article/...

Very excited our work out in @jem.org “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection” @wehi-research.bsky.social led by talented (and determined) PhD student @benjbroom.bsky.social Thread below.

Thrilled to see this fantastic work by @benjbroom.bsky.social @groomlab.bsky.social published today in JEM!
