#IUIS2025 Day 5! Time flies when having fun! Started the day w/ excellent talk from Michael Sadelain @columbiacancer.bsky.social about the current state of CAR T cell therapy and exciting approaches 1️⃣ HLA-independent TCRs interact with CD3 molecules for increased sensitivity and work in low Ag...

A huge thank-you to Dr. Zwi Berneman for joining us for this special show at #IUIS2025, and thanks to everyone who came to listen! If you missed it, the episode will be published on podcast platforms next week!

You can see how happy we were to see Dr. James Allison in person at #IUIS2025! 😁 We had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Allison in 2024. Listen to the conversation here: https://bit.ly/47EUFYm

@iuis-online.bsky.social #IUIS2025 Day 4! reporting for the @immunologypodcast.com Started the day w/ neuro immunology session - cool story from Ulrich von Andrian @harvardmed.bsky.social -> close interaction of dermal DCs and nociceptive neurons in dermatitis & myeloid suppressor cells in cancer

Day 3 #IUIS2025 @immunologypodcast.com Lost a pair of pants and was late to the 1st session of today 🥲 - but enjoyed a masterclass on immune suppression after severe illness from Laura Cook @Peter Doherty Institute - finished strong w/cute organoid-derived pineapple shaped cilliated cells

#IUIS2025 Day 2! Jochen Hühn(@helmholtzhzi.bsky.social): Tissue-resident Tregs show unique methylation vs. splenic Tregs. Residency depends on stromal cell conditioning 👉 Microbiome-derived tryptophan metabolites tune adipose stromal cells → IL-33 → support of ST2⁺ Tregs in fat tissue.

I'm at #IUIS2025 in #Vienna! On the ground reporting for the @immunologypodcast.com🎤 with by buddy Jason (@drsifujg.bsky.social) Looking forward to a few days awesome talks, and to our LIVE PODCAST EPISODE on Thursday! #immunosky

Almost 5 years ago I responded to an unusual job posting: podcast host. Fast forward to today, and we have recorded 100 episodes of the @immunologypodcast.com! 🧵

📢 A new episode of the podcast is out! We chat with Dr. Luke O’Neill (@lukeanthonyoneill.bsky.social) at Trinity College Dublin (@tcddublin.bsky.social) about the metabolic regulation of immune cell function and the innate #ImmuneSystem. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/3QybMBq

Man, I just LOVE living in Amsterdam. I’m taking a plane today and leaving my (fairly central) apartment, walking to the train station, taking the train and going through airport security took me a grand total of 30 minutes. Now the problem is what to do with all that spare time at Schiphol😅

I don’t think I’ve ever had such an important question to ask to a forum like this. Please help me settle a controversy brewing in the lab! Is the “V” in Annexin V pronounced “five” as in the Roman numeral, or “vee” as in the letter in the alphabet after U? Please let me know below.

Episode 99 (!!!) of the @immunologypodcast.com is out! I had so much fun talking to @lukeanthonyoneill.bsky.social about his excellent work on the metabolism of macrophages, and about the joy of doing science. Don't miss out on our conversation and, as always, our highlights of recent research!

Finally! The @immunologypodcast.com is now on #Bluesky! Join me (and Jason- still not on Bsky!) for your bi-weekly dose of immunology, featuring the latest research & cool interviews with scientists across the field! Hit follow to stay updated on new episodes & paper highlights! #immunosky 🧪

We are hiring! Several projects available in mucosal immunology and stem cell transplantation using functional genomics and spatial transcriptomics. Could you please help us spread the word? @ljiresearch.bsky.social

Thanks Seth for coming all the way to Amsterdam to visit! It was great to finally host you after planing this visit for some time 😁

A nice way to starting to wrap up the year is attending the Annual Meeting of the Dutch Society for Immunology #NVVI - 1st plenary session w/ Jacques Neefjes from LUMC asking: how do MHC-II molecules actually move inside the cell to the membrane?

In #ScienceImmunology last week, Zhang & al reported that the stability & expression of #ImmuneCheckpoint molecule #TIM3 is regulated by palmitoyltransferase DHHC9. Peptidic inhibitor of DHHC9 accelerates TIM-3 degradation & enhances #CARTCell & #NKCell #antitumor immunity! bit.ly/SI_adp7302

Another great year at #SITC24! Thank you to the #SITC Early Career Scientist Committee for another amazing year of programming. Excellent conversations at the Meet the Expert Lunch, Grant Writing Workshop, Speed Mentoring & the Networking Event. #SITC25 can't come fast enough!

First post on Bluesky. NEW PREPRINT from our lab. It is a first-in-humans study that is very close to my heart. "Quality of vaccination-induced T cell responses is conveyed by polyclonality and high, but not maximum, antigen receptor avidity." www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#2024 is upon us! As a new year resolution I want to be more present on this social network - I love science twitter but there is too just much gunk on X and I’d like to try for an alternative. Last picture of 2023? Refreshing my cell culture on Dec 30th 😅
