Honoured to serve as President of the Swiss Young Immunologists Society (SYIS). We aim to connect early-career immunologists across Switzerland, strengthen our community, and support professional growth. Looking forward to what we will achieve together! To join the team syis-ecr.org/join-our-team/

Bittersweet farewell weeks at @kiroxford.bsky.social, a place pivotal to my growth as an independent scientist. With deep gratitude for this chapter, I'm thrilled to begin the next at @unibas.ch @biomedizin.unibas.ch, where my lab will study organelle inheritance in T cells in the context of ageing.

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

#Immunology out now @science.org After initial priming in the lymph nodes, mouse CD8 T cells undergo a second phase of stable interactions with dendritic cells that can preferentially stimulate those with a high-affinity for antigen. buff.ly/49bKcTG By Jobin, Seetharama, Rüttger et al.

Fantastic week in Frankfurt at the #FCQC2025. Terrific talks, inspiring science and a great opportunity to meet my mentor, colleagues and collaborators in person. Big thanks to @sfb1177.bsky.social and @dikiclab.bsky.social. Please do it again!

#InterferonFriendOrFoe?! Joe Sun, Xiaoqin Wei &co show @science.org that lung macrophage peroxisomes instruct repair programs after virus infections favoring AT2 cell renewal & recovery! IFNgamma drives pexophagy, increasing mitochondrial ROS & activating inflammasomes driving KRT8 cells & fibrosis!

"Fundamental and applied research are both necessary for innovation in science and industry." We're extremely proud to share the news of Annette's appointment as ETH Vice President for Research 🎉

A study in Nature Medicine provides a comprehensive map of the contributions of environment and genetics to mortality and incidence of common age-related diseases, suggesting that the exposome shapes distinct patterns of disease and mortality risk. #Medsky 🧪

Despite facing up to -20°C, spent fantastic days in my first Keystone²: exciting immunometabolism discussions and (re-)encounters with brilliant and generous leaders of the field. Happy to be part of this community #KSImmunometab25

ICYMI by First Release - now officially in print @science.org Specific combinations of nutrients and metabolic enzymes determine T cell differentiation via loci-specific histone acetylations. https://buff.ly/4gvqKTz From Shixin Ma, Sue Kaech @tcellogic.bsky.social et al. #immunometabolism

Just climbed some steps to warm up for the #KSMitochondria25 in Taipei. First time in Asia, first time I will talk in a @keystonesymposia.bsky.social, all very exciting!

Having a color-blind colleague is a good reminder that we need to be more careful when designing figures for scientific publication 🧪 My lab has found this page especially useful for selecting color palettes, used in combination with different symbols: thenode.biologists.com/data-visuali...

After we reach advanced age, around 80, the propensity to develop cancer is markedly reduced. A discovery reported at Nature today about aged stem cells and iron insufficiency may help explain this advantage www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Immune cells change in proportions with age - naive go down, effector go up. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Definitely not a straightforward path, but it is happening: I am officially an Assistant Professor-to-be! 🎉 I am thrilled to announce that I was awarded a @snsf-ch.bsky.social Starting Grant and I will start my lab next year. Very grateful to all those that supported me over the last years! 🫶 (1/4)

How do #mitochondria decide when to divide or fuse? I’ve always thought mtDNA played a key role in this process, so I was very surprised by this finding: The loss of mtDNA does not affect mitochondrial fission and fusion rates. www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...

We’re here 🦋 ✨ and excited to build the #yEFIS network for young European #immunologists on Bluesky! #ImmunoSky Follow us to stay updated on all our news and latest activities.

Terrific scientist starting as a PI at our alma mater @ethzurich.bsky.social. Stay tuned!

We are excited to expand our platform to Bluesky! Follow @mitowomen.bsky.social for highlights on research performed by women in mitochondrial research. Check out our website for a list of outstanding women in mito research (to invite speakers, recruit students/postdocs, find collaborators, etc)

If you’re making a starter pack, take a quick look at its demographics. Worth a bit of consideration!

As someone who truly missed the #science blue bird, it feels great to again tweet in a BlueSky! For those that are new here, I am a #Tcell aficionada trying to understand how diversity is imprinted by events such as #organelle inheritance. So I am slowly trying to become a cell biologist as well! 🙃
