MIS-C is a rare post-COVID syndrome impacting children, though a direct connection between SCoV-2 & severe inflammation is undefined In our new collaborative effort w/UCSF & Boston Children's, we find a cross-reactive epitope could be the MIS-Cing link. A🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations Dr Carolien van de Sandt for receiving the NHMRC investigator grant for viral immunity research. The $1.6m grant will support research into influenza virus-specific T cell immunity. Read 👉doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… UniMelb MDHS The Royal Melbourne Hospital #immunity #research

If you are an #ECR attending Options2024, you do not want to miss out on this amazing career development lunch!! ⬇️

An amazing study, 10 years in the making & honoured to have made a small contribution to this incredible work Cell. The Kedzierska Lab Brendon Chua & @theJJClab discovered that #OLAH gene drives severe disease outcomes #Influenza,#SARS_COV_2 & #RSV.Read more in 🧬🧵⬇️

Wondering why some people have more severe respiratory i fections? ImmunoSketch made a great sketch about our recent study.

Nearly 1 month till Options2024! Registration? ☑️ Flights? ☑️ Accommodation? ☑️ Poster/talk prep? ☑️ (maybe closer to the date🫠) Next step: Get planning your conference w the program - to jump between sessions s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cdn.webfactore…

✨Today officially marks 10 years of Doherty Institute. From pioneering research on the immune system to our response to COVID-19, we’re incredibly proud of our staff and students and their achievements in infection and immunity. And a huge thank you to our supporters. Here’s to

Check out the ESWI booth Options2024 - and better yet join their special symposium on day 1 (Sunday 10.30am) on Diabetes and Flu as a killer combination from the Influenza Diabetes Community

What causes respiratory diseases to be life-threatening? 🫁 A team including Jia Xiaoxiao, Kedzierska Lab, The Jeremy Chase Crawford Lab, Brendon Chua, and Zhongfang Wang investigated early drivers underpinning fatal disease. Paper: bit.ly/47EVNJL Episode: bit.ly/4gi9p1g

10 days till Options2024 where we kick off with the mini school of influenza! Sponsored by Flu Lab and Sanofi With experts Erik Karlsson Florian Krammer TompkinsLab Kirsty Short and more! optionsxii2024.org.uk/programme/mini…

🦠  Which viruses could cause the next pandemic? 📽 Ab Osterhaus explains that we can’t predict exactly which virus will spark the next global outbreak, but we do have clues. It’s critical to monitor and prepare for these threats. 🔗 For more FAQs: eswi.org/education-hub

TCR repertoire dream: decoding immune status by sequencing TCRs. Problems: 1) Need paired TCRab chains 2) Interesting T cell clones are often VERY small. Our solution: TIRTL-seq 🐢Deep, quantitative, & affordable paired TCR repertoire sequencing. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/11)

Amazing work by Mikhail Pogorelyy and Paul G Thomas I cant wait to use this new technology to look at TCR repertoires!
