Interested in tumour immunity, dendritic cells and immunotherapy? Excited to share our study on CCR7+ dendritic cells (DCs) in cancer out today, a joint effort between WithersLab and Clatworthy Lab. (🧵 1/8) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Delighted to share our latest work, out in Nature Immunology, tackling the seemingly inordinate complexity of #cDC2s. Caetano Reis e Sousa The Crick, we found that distinct ontogenetic lineages dictate cDC2 heterogeneity, rather than cell states imposed by the tissue microenvironment 🧵(1/x)

👩‍🔬Meet Damya Laoui Laoui Team @ VIB-VUB, Associate Professor developing new personalized (combinational) immunotherapies based on dendritic cells to win the battle against cancer. #WomenInScience #WomenInImmunology

We want to share more information on our panelists for the 2nd Session of WiS Day, focused on what measures can be taken to minimize the Matilda effect, to increase women scientists visibility and other diversity factors in research teams. 🔎Have a look at their bio!

Feeling very honored. A huge thanks to my fantastic team who all deserve to share in this recognition 🩷

Our PhD student Aarushi CARO explaining her research topic to a broad audience

1/23 We are excited to announce that our most recent study “In vivo dendritic cell reprogramming for cancer immunotherapy” was published in Science Magazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Here is a summary of what we discovered!

Very proud of our postdoc Ahmed! Congrats!

Thanks Nature Rev Immunol for this 2nd award for our team at the wonderful #DC2024 conference
