Great opportunity to join our Life Sciences Department. Any Parasitologists interested - please DM me. I'd be happy to provide further information. Please RT too!

Great to see the wild mouse bone marrow paper by Muir et al featuring in the June issue of Immunology News - with an invitation to submit to the special collection Iris Mair and I are Guest editing

Lovely day BABS 'Replenishing the matrix' meeting in Manchester. Very grateful for the chance to present our data on IL-13 modulation of HA in 🫁.... even nicer to win a joint prize for my talk! Tara Sutherland Judi Allen WTCCMR Lydia Becker Institute

Horizon research deal with EU awaits Sunak's signature bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

We have a post-doc position available focused on intestinal and cancer immunology. Ideal for PhD students soon to submit, who want to work with some cool in vivo models to better understand immune responses. Position advertised on BSI Jobs Board immunology.org/careers/bsi-jo…

The PM really does need to understand that he is now further damaging U.K. science by not immediately rejoining Horizon, presumably to placate some know-nothing fringe bloviators who know nothing about science, its value or how it’s conducted. As Lord Rees says below, it is

Congratulations to Tara Sutherland for being awarded an MRC grant! 🥳🥳🥳 #WomenInSTEM

This promises to be a fascinating talk from our former #ListerFellow!

Thank you. A wonderful afternoon/evening. You really are the best lab on the planet!

Professor Prof Sheena Cruickshank (she/her) is an immunologist UoM Biology, Medicine and Health and science communicator. Sheena has done public engagement at every bluedot since it started! 🥳 She talked to us about ways to boost your immune system. See her latest research: research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/she…

Fantastic start to BOP immunology with great talks from Emma and Jude, successful flow cytometry, and sunsets on the beach!

Do you have and MSc and would like to do a PhD in Immunology? Are you interested in exploring mitochondrial metabolism in dendritic cells and macrophages? We offer a 4-year PhD position CNIC 👇👇👇 Please, RT.

As someone who got burned by flow markers turning up in places they should not - this is a must read cautionary tale for immunologists.

I haven’t posted in 18 months. My hopes for this space and the world more generally have sadly not come to pass. Ever an optimist, I will be at Bluesky. At least Larry the Cat is there (Larry the Cat) and many others to keep me company!
