Hello (North) Jakarta ! Amazing view from the Airbnb I am staying at…

Key findings are out for the “Population differences in vaccine responses (POPVAC)” study of three linked, randomised controlled trials assessing the role, reversibility and mediators of immunomodulation by chronic infections

Quite an epic edition of The Lancet Global Health with interesting findings from the POPVAC trials (conducted by colleagues in Uganda) that aimed to elucidate the drivers of vaccine-specific immune responses in urban and rural settings in Uganda Gyaviira Nkurunungi 🇺🇬👨🏾‍🔬, Alison Elliott Ludoviko Zirimenya MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit

In our series championing women researchers, we are featuring Dr Josiane Honkphedji. You can read about her research interests and her work as a physician-scientist in Gabon 🇬🇦

A week ago I was back in Jakarta after 5 days in Bali. All seems so distant now….literally and figuratively

Likewise. Saddened to have not been able to attend the funeral of Prof. Michael D. Wilson in Accra yesterday. Prof Mike was a brilliant scientist, intellectual and excellent mentor. He prompted us to think deeply and always question. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten

Congratulations Gyaviira Nkurunungi 🇺🇬👨🏾‍🔬 !!!!

Out today in The Lancet Microbe from my colleagues; an interesting article on immune responses to #SARSCoV2 in a Senegalese cohort versus a European cohort (from the Netherlands and Germany)

Interesting article from Josiane Honkphedji and colleagues about how parasitic infections in pregnancy have an impact on maternal and child antibody glycosylation patterns..

Work described is by my colleagues Roozen et al based at Leiden University Center for Infectious Diseases

Congratulations to Professor Alison Elliott on the well-deserved OBE !

Congratulations Professor Kondwani Jambo, PhD !

Friends doing amazing things. Congratulations Lydia Mosi !

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We believe that more girls will be encouraged to pursue Science when they see representation in the field of mycobacterial and host-viral research like in the Mosi Lab @ WACCBIP Cc: Lydia Mosi UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 #EveryVoiceInScience
