For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Ready to start 2 days of everything innate immunity and inflammation #bsiinflammation2025 @britsocimm.bsky.social

Looking for passionate candidate to apply to PhD fellowship to University of Murcia call: www.um.es/documents/d/... Interested students contact me!

#MycobiotaPower! Exciting work @nature.com by Behnsen, Jaswal &co showing that #Salmonella uses type 3 secretion system to hijack #Candida_albicans to produce arginine in the gut, boosting Salmonella infectivity & reducing the immune response! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So excited that this study is now online! It's been a pleasure to work with BioAge Labs and our collaborators on this story. We characterise a new class of #NLRP3 inhibitors with translational potential for so many inflammatory diseases.

Still time to register for the BSI inflammation meeting 2025! Don’t miss out on this fantastic meeting !.

Great work by the @inflammasomelab.bsky.social @s-burgener.bsky.social and colleagues showing in vivo the importance of caspase-1 inactivation in controlling inflammation! Impressive amount of work behind it, glad to see this out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have a 3-year PDRA post in Cancer Immunogenomics. Ideal to use and strengthen your bioinformatics skills to discover how cancer transcriptome quirks shape immunotherapy outcomes. Funded by @cancerresearchuk.org. It’ll be fun! jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/rese... @hyms.ac.uk @ybri-uoy.bsky.social

🔥 Open postdoc position in human inflammation-driven control of infection! 🔥 Join me at the University of Geneva, Switzerland this summer as I’m moving my Wellcome-funded research activity to the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Medicine! (1/5) Please share!

Funded 4-year #PhD in the exciting BBSRC NILAB program. @wwiem-qub.bsky.social Receive multidisciplinary training, develop #infection models and #AI image analysis to reveal bacterial & viral disease mechanisms & discover new antimicrobials. Fight #AMR Get in touch! Details: tinyurl.com/e5k6ptua

The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKε, results in uncontrolled cell death–driven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKε prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#job 🚨for a laboratory technician in the Wright group within dept. Biology/HYMS and @ybri-uoy.bsky.social to work on creating genome-scale arrays of human cell surface receptors to discover new host-pathogen interactions. Apply by 20/3/2025: jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/labo...

#job - INTERNAL candidates only. Technician in dept. Biology in @billgrey.bsky.social lab studying how the proteome evolves from healthy haematopoietic stem cell to malignant leukaemic stem cell in vivo. Apply by 12/3/25 jobs.york.ac.uk/internal/vac...

Can I tempt some young minds to consider Old York for a PhD? Some days left to apply. Open to applicants WORLDWIDE 🌎.

We’re currently recruiting for a biochemist, to be based here in Glasgow at the @cruk-si.bsky.social or otherwise down in Cambridge. Take a look, and obviously choose Glasgow! cancerresearchuk.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Academics get so jaded about institutions, when they reach a #leadership position many feel #researchculture is unactionable. Me and @deefitzgerald.bsky.social wrote a guide in @immunolcellbiol.bsky.social on leadership nurturing a positive culture 1/13 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thrilled to start 2025 with our latest findings! Yersinia invades macrophage cytosol to activate caspase-11 when caspase-8 or YopJ are inactive. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

There's still time to apply for this postdoc position in our lab. Ideally suited to someone wanting to develop some independent research, we have lots of new projects to select from! #immunosky 🧪

Have you ever wondered whether pyroptotic corpses have functions beyond the grave? We made the surprising discovery that pyroptotic corpses are flagged by #filopodia to alert #DendriticCells they need autopsy. A short Bluetorial (1/13)👇with movies! Link: rdcu.be/d2mjm

Preprint alert! Peptides are everywhere in biological environments, and these molecules serve as a rich source of nutrients for bacteria. Here, we uncover how one transporter protein allows S. aureus to utilise 100+ peptides for growth www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Another preprint, and this time the excellent work of @imrsankhan.bsky.social from his PhD & our first full experimental Staph aureus paper - on transporters of course! Imran found a cool link to glutathione and infection too. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited by viruses and how our bodies repel them? A fully funded PhD project now available combining expertise from the lab to the clinic. #virology #immunology #dermatology #CRISPR #vector-vertebrate biology. Help us spread the word. ☺️ www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

📢 PhD Alert! Join us for an exciting PhD project in gorgeous York 🧠 🔬 You will be based in the Hahnlab (sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/hah…) in gorgeous York & work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers. Happy to chat! Apply here: lnkd.in/es-nY8uD#PhDpositionon

PhD project with Ioannis Kourtzelis, our lab and Mesenbio in lovely York! Macrophage, EV and innate immune responses, what's not to love! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Here are some free/open-source sites for the preparation of scientific illustrations, including icon libraries: bioicons.com, scidraw.io, bioart.niaid.nih.gov, inkscape.org, biogdp.com, reactome.org/icon-lib

We need to have a ‘code of conduct’ for reviewing manuscripts, like (1) if you say that something is not novel then provide the reference. (2) If you propose an experiment, state precisely to which claim it is crucial. (3) If you want to say something nasty then sign your name.

💯! The next step is to lobby with departments, institutions, universities and funding bodies to persuade them to abandon Twitter and open accounts on this platform. As for the journals, this is an appeal to ALL academic colleagues. Thanks 🙏 Izzy for raising this issue.

I’ve made a Starter Pack of #innateimmunity and #inflammation researchers to follow! Please contact me to get added or to suggest others to add. We are just getting started 😎 #immunosky #academicchatter go.bsky.app/QqJ9AgB

Ok folks, here we go! Contact me to be added or to add others go.bsky.app/QqJ9AgB

Does anyone know if there is a #starterpack for #innateimmunity or #inflammation? If not, I might start one 😄 #immunosky #academicchatter @labzinnate.bsky.social what do you think?

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here. The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD

New work from PhD student Alexandros Chatzis (co-supervisee) on trained immunity and cancer cell efferocytosis! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
