This week we attended the @oxfordcancer.bsky.social and the @britsocimm.bsky.social -Oxford symposium 👩🏼‍💻🗒️👨‍💻 We are proud to share that at BSI-Oxford, our PostDoc @nabinapun.bsky.social won the prize for the best talk & our RA Paul won the best poster! 💪🏆🎉👏 Withers lab represent!

We’re happy to be in Liverpool for this years @britsocimm.bsky.social congress: In today’s “What’s hot in cancer immunology?” session, Prof David Withers presented our new data on an orthotopic colorectal cancer model for the first time! 🐭💪

Thrilled for our wonderful postdoc @lizihegarty.bsky.social whose #PhD work on colonic #macrophages and #colitis with @bainlab.bsky.social @edinuni-irr.bsky.social has been accepted for publication in @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social 🔬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What a week! So pleased to now also see the peer reviewed version in Science Signaling of @megtriesscience.bsky.social PhD work joint with the Saunders lab, see her great thread for explanation below www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thanks Elaine!!

This study was fantastically led by @NabinaPun98 working together with @UCytlak. Nabina did an amazing job leading the charge into a new area for our lab and is now at the start of what is going to be a truly fantastic career in research, watch this space for more to come!

So pleased to share the peer reviewed first study from our @cruk-ci.bsky.social @mcrcnews.bsky.social Radnet collab led by @nabinapun.bsky.social and Dr Cytlak with Prof Travis and Prof Illidge @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Excited to share my PhD work (in @douglaspdyer.bsky.social’s lab) now published in Mucosal Immunology! 🥳 Our study explores how the immune system protects the gut during radiotherapy. 🔗 www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

In this weeks @oxcio.bsky.social seminar, our PostDoc Pascale presented her current progress on setting up #SingleCellSequencing experiments and their analysis for the @witherslab.bsky.social in Oxford! 🖥️💡🐭 Exciting!!!

Excited to share our latest review article, "Cellular Cosmetics: How Innate Lymphoid Cells Can Recontour the Tumour Microenvironment”! This article aims to stimulate discussions on targeting these adaptable immune cells to enhance immunotherapy strategies.

It was so good to present my work in the withers lab for the first time!! 😎

🐣 We followed with our Junior PIs telling us about their questions for the next 5 years 💡 Lots of exciting, cutting-edge new ideas that will hopefully materialise soon and bring even more new questions to #CIO 🤓 🥳 #CIOawayday @galvez-cancino.bsky.social @mjwsim.bsky.social

✨ Kicking off #CIOawayday with our senior PIs sharing the experiments that changed their careers 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬🧫 A reminder that serendipity, curiosity, and pub chats can spark groundbreaking ideas 🤓 Clearly science thrives on kindness and collaboration and we got a lot of that in #CIO 😉🙃 #ScienceLife

Today we’re at the @britsocimm.bsky.social Bristol Immunolgy Group presenting some of our recent data!

After a great few weeks settling into my new lab with @jcstark.bsky.social at the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social , I’m thrilled to share I have been awarded a TBBCF postdoc fellowship! This award will fund the next 2 years of my research targeting glycans for the treatment of breast cancer 🦠

So pleased to share the first study from out @cruk-mi.bsky.social led by Nabina Pun with Mark Travis, Tim Illidge and Urszula Cytlak www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Had a great time co-authoring this new review with @hepworth-lab.bsky.social and Alanna Kelly! Interested in what's going on in the niche microenvironments ILCs call home? Then check out the pre-proof version, online now at @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social !
