"Patients have got into the habit of expecting to be prescribed antibiotics for coughs and colds and other conditions where antibiotics don't make a blind bit of difference." Associate professor Mark Thomas examines NZ's worrying antibiotic habits. newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala…

Our new research indicates #VitaminD's action on #Tcells intersects with #complement pathways to counter execssive lung inflammation in severe #COVID19. Could these pathways be exploited for management of severe disease? Great team effort! Thanks all! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Just finished watching the last #IgVCareerWebinar, it was super informative and eye-opening (especially for a third year PhD student) thanks Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology !

Great to see our study published! And a nice little spotlight of the results by Neoteryx can be found here: neoteryx.com/microsampling-…

Great to see this serosurvey come together through collaboration with the NZBS and public health experts. Special shout out to LaurenCarlton and Tiffany Chen for screening all those samples!

I can't believe it's been just over 3 years since I started my PhD- I was going to celebrate with a conference in Queenstown, I got a lockdown instead! On the bright side, I guess I got my wish of writing up from home🤷‍♀️ #day43

Amazing to see all the hard work pay off from my PhD and beyond. Science really is a team effort #Scienceisateamsport, read the tour de force: rdcu.be/cBdvw Nature Immunology Springer Nature

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Can an accurate #StrepA multiplex immunoassay, that simultaneously detects antibodies to eight antigens, be developed? Yes ✅ Is the assay compatible with patient samples, including dried blood samples? Yes ✅ Read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It's been a big month- submitted my PhD thesis and now some of our interesting work on StrepA antibodies is published, see below 👇

Now pretty in print (/PDF)! academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…

Aaand that’s a wrap! Thank you to all the participants, faculty, organisers and sponsors for this fantastic week! 🤩Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology #ASIAdvImmSchool

Had an amazing time at the #ASIAdvImmSchool in Sydney! I learnt so much over the four days of science and socializing, big thanks to those who made it possible

Stockholm and #LISSSD bound with Reuben McGregor! Incredibly excited to be attending an international conference 🛫

Come and talk about antibody responses to StrepA (#149) with me in the poster session today! #LISSSD2022

On this day four years ago I started my PhD. Two weeks ago I successfully defended my thesis and today I submitted the final version! Feeling happy, proud and relieved, what a journey 👩‍🔬

Had a great time presenting and meeting new people in Queenstown for #QRW2022. Lab group looking good!
