💥New paper alert!💥 What’s better than starting 2026 with an @annualreviews.bsky.social #Immunology, often a once-in-a-life honor ❤️?! Check it out if you want to know everything about type III interferons #IFN! Thanks to my wonderful team for their amazing work 🤗 doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Excited to announce a new review article that Andreas Villunger @villungerlab.bsky.social, Dario Rizzotto (not on bsky) and I wrote. In this article, we discuss mitosis as a central cell cycle stage for integrating DNA damage, cell death and inflammatory responses. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Last week I was privileged to attend the @britsocimm.bsky.social 2025. The congress was packed with exciting immunology updates from around the world 🌍 I was honoured to receive a 1st place prize for my bright sparks talk ‘harnessing immunogenic cell death to improve cancer therapy’ 🏆

The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKε, results in uncontrolled cell death–driven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKε prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
