Excited to be attending my first Gordon Research Seminar in Immunometabolism this weekend! Looking forward to meeting other trainees and faculty across the field. If you're also attending, come say hi! 👋 #GRS #GRC #Immunometabolism #Immunology #Metabolism

Want to build your confidence in immunology? Our Foundations of immunology course returns 2 Oct, covering the immune system, from innate & adaptive immunity to vaccines & immunotherapies. Past attendees reported a 76% increase in confidence! Book here: vist.ly/56j7c

Reviewed a preprint that was highlighted by Nature Reviews Immunology: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41787061/ A small contribution, but a good reminder of how valuable thoughtful preprint feedback is for advancing science before formal peer review.

Packed house at this week’s External Seminar at the KIR (kiroxford.bsky.social). Great talk by Dr Mo Lotfollahi (sangerinstitute.bsky.social) on using generative AI to model human tissues and cell behaviour.

I really enjoyed yesterday's @kiroxford.bsky.social seminar by Prof. Bengsch. The IL-21 story in cancer therapy was a standout! Showing how cytokine signaling can shape CD8 T-cell function. Grateful to the institute for bringing cutting-edge immunology to us live.

Research led by Dr Mariana Borsa at the Kennedy Institute @kiroxford.bsky.social has found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T cells generate diverse progenies upon cell division.
