If you have 30 seconds pretty please could you vote for our research: 'Option 5. Sex differences in the immune system' at the link below! We truly appreciate your support!! 🔬🌟🙏🏻

Amazing talk from Lizzy Rosser @bcellsrosser.bsky.social at @efis-immunology.bsky.social So cool to hear about how sex determinants influence B cells! @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social

Catch these fantastic session openers from @heather--cross.bsky.social and @bcellsrosser.bsky.social this morning, both presenting sex differences #immunosky research from @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social!

Thank you Lizzy! @bcellsrosser.bsky.social looking forward to your talk later today @efis-immunology.bsky.social

Nailed it! @heather--cross.bsky.social @ciurtinlab.bsky.social @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social

Great day yesterday, onto YIM day 2, and PReS opening ceremony tonight

Exciting week ahead in Helsinki for #PReS2025! 🇫🇮 First up it’s the young investors meeting! Fantastic science and a privilege to be on the organising committee of #PReSEMERGE An @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social takeover later for the #cSLE session with @junjie-peng.bsky.social @heather--cross.bsky.social

Second talk of the PhD ✅ Thank you so much to the @london-immuno.bsky.social for selecting my abstract on sex hormone/chromosome driven mechanisms of cSLE risk #LIG2025 #LIG25 🧬 🦠 @georgearobinson.bsky.social @ciurtinlab.bsky.social

Thank you so much! 😁 #EULAR2025 was an amazing first conference talk and I am so pleased and grateful to have been featured in the highlights as well!

Thank you George and Coziana @ciurtinlab.bsky.social for the support and encouragement. Also thank you @eular.org #EULAR2025 for the opportunity to present and share my research, it was amazing 😁🎉

@heather--cross.bsky.social presenting very soon on sex hormone/chromosome driven mechanisms of cSLE risk #EULAR2025! Join us in room A1 to hear some super interesting research! 🧬 🦠 @ciurtinlab.bsky.social @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social Fantastic session with Jean-Charles Guery and Amy Roberts too 👇

Other @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social highlights from our amazing @jury-lab.bsky.social HLH Team including: ⭐ Jess Manson (MAS, Thurs, 1.30-4.45pm, room 6.3) ⭐ Lexie Oppong (POS0716) ⭐ Amelia Holloway (POS0442) Also Maria Leandro POS1238 and talk/meet the expert from @anisurrahman.bsky.social #EULAR2025

Posters all about our #HLH research on now #EULAR @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social

Made it! #EULAR2025 I’m looking forward to presenting later today on a novel approach to investigating type I interferon signalling in cSLE. Interrogating different signalling levels gives unique pieces of information and new disease endotypes. Hopefully see you there to hear more!

It’s #EULAR2025 week! 🌟 We’ve got a EULAR sandwich 🥪 this year with me presenting on type I interferon signalling in cSLE on Wednesday afternoon (4.30-6pm, room 6.4), then @heather--cross.bsky.social presenting on sex hormones and cSLE risk on Saturday (12-1.15pm, room A1) See you in Barcelona! 🇪🇸

Thank you for the spotlight! @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social I’m super excited for #EULAR2025 @eular.org and looking forward to chatting with everyone, science related and beyond 😁

We are lucky to have you @heather--cross.bsky.social! Such an exciting future in research!

When she's not in the lab @heather--cross.bsky.social is baking, cooking and hanging upside down in an aerial hammock! Something to talk to her about (alongside science ofc!) when you see her at EULAR!

If you want to hear about @heather--cross.bsky.social findings you can catch her at #EULAR where she giving a talk in the 'how does sex and gender predispose to autoimmunity?' session winning a travel grant 💫 Check her out with her poster at our recent Division of Medicine Research Retreat below👇

@heather--cross.bsky.social is on the competitive MRC UCL-Birkbect Doctoral Training Programme🏋️‍♀️ Her final rotation was in our dept & we were delighted that this rising star ⭐ decided to stay. A wet-lab researcher originally, Heather she is becoming an expert in 'omics' analysis 💻

It's time for our next ARR dept research spotlight💡with 1st year PhD student @heather--cross.bsky.social! Heather is working in @georgearobinson.bsky.social's lab with @ciurtinlab.bsky.social to uncover the impact of sex and gender ⚧️ on metabolism and its relevance to autoimmune conditions💥

Had my first internal presentation of my PhD project with @georgearobinson.bsky.social and @ciurtinlab.bsky.social at @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social basic science meeting 😁 nervous but excited to share what I have been doing the last 6 months with everyone 👩‍🔬 🎉

We all know how important @britsocimm.bsky.social is so here I am trying to contribute a bit 😁 I'd love to represent ECRs in the BSI Forum and voting is now open so please click below and vote vote vote. I have to admit the other candidates look great too! 🙌 www.immunology.org/news/bsi-com...

👋 Time for our next PI researcher spotlight and it’s Dr George Robinson @georgearobinson.bsky.social. Funded by a @versusarthritis.bsky.social Fellowship, George transitioned to independence and group leader in 2022. His research focuses on the development of lupus in children and adolescents 🦋

Heather is now on Bluesky! @heather--cross.bsky.social Drop a follow to keep track of her exciting research around sex differences in immunology, metabolism, and autoimmune disease risk! @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social
