Pre-print alert! We have identified TMEM33 as a novel, intrinsic regulator of CD8+ T cell function and anti-tumor immunity - go check it out. Thanks to all involved!

Lots of congratulations to Tianming Zhao @oncology.ox.ac.uk who defended his MRes fantastically yesterday! This is a great story led by @mtjackson101.bsky.social (who defended his DPhil in Jan) that we hope to share soon - congratulations Tianming!

Congratulations to Matt Jackson who has been awarded his first project grant through the @medsci.ox.ac.uk Internal Fund Pump-Priming Scheme 🥳 This award will allow Matt to build on initial findings from his doctoral research, investigating the fundamental cell biology of CD8+ T cells.

At yesterday's opening ceremony, we asked the cancer community to stand together to make their voices heard in support of innovative cancer science and medicine. #CancerResearchSavesLives® #AACR25

"It is critically important that we raise our voices in support of innovative cancer science and medicine." AACR President Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, PhD (hc), FAACR, calls on the #AACR25 delegates to stand together and call on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.

Pretty amazing graphic to go with the @financialtimes.com article about the cost of Trump's attack on US science NIH is HUGE! www.ft.com/content/67fd...

Arrived (early!) in Chicago for #AACR25! Excited to be presenting my PhD work from @eileenparkes.bsky.social lab on regulators of STING and T cell-mediated anti-tumour immunity - come find me at Poster #4859: Tue 29th April 09:00-12:00 Section 39, Board 9.

Brand-new doctor at #CIO!! 🎉 Big congratulations to Dr. Matt Jackson on successfully defending his thesis yesterday! 🎓👏 Your hard work and dedication have paid off!! Wishing you every success in this exciting next chapter! #PhDDefense #AcademicSuccess #PhDlife

Meet @halaestephan.bsky.social 👩‍🔬🔬🧪 Hala is a postdoctoral researcher here at the oncology department, working on cancer immunology. To mark #IWD25, Hala shares her STEM journey & her advice on how to thrive as a woman in academia. @medsci.ox.ac.uk @hammond-lab.bsky.social #InternationalWomensDay

Brilliant new paper from Jie Yang @jieyang437.bsky.social and Rahul Roychoudhuri @roychoudhurilab.bsky.social linking aspirin to immune-mediated prevention of cancer metastasis. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Gender equality is vital for a better future, yet women still face barriers & biases in pursuing scientific careers👩‍🔬For the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and bc role models matter, we at CIO want to acknowledge our women group leaders. To all young girls out there, you can do it! 💪

Female scientists are quitting academic publishing earlier than their male counterparts, even in biological-science disciplines that have roughly equal representation. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy to promote our recent preprint watch piece led by Matthew Jackson - intriguing story on PD1 biology #preprintClub www.nature.com/articles/s41...
