Mission: Possible? 👩🏽‍🔬 We're recruiting the next generation of innovators and inventors. We have opportunities for early career researchers in science and engineering to work on #CSIRO Missions. Join #TeamCSIRO and help make the impossible possible. csiro.au/careers/imposs…

Excited to see our latest Tasmanian devil paper; investigating genome-wide genetic diversity at 1,819 SNPs & functional diversity at over 500 genes from 31 wild locations plus the zoo-based insurance population & Maria Island cell.com/iscience/fullt… 1/🧵

Exciting new things are happening in #immunology at #CSIRO 🧪🔬🧬 We've been developing projects to improve infectious disease resilience in animals and humans. #IRFSP website now live - check it out for recruitment opportunities and exciting new science! research.csiro.au/immune-resilie…

Join #TeamCSIRO and make the impossible happen. We’re recruiting the next generation of inventors, innovators and change makers. You’ll work as part of #CSIRO Missions and Future Science Platforms to help solve Australia’s greatest challenges. csiro.au/careers/imposs…

Looking for a postdoc in immunology or molecular biology to join our amazing team at CSIRO in Hobart! Exciting opportunity developing lab technologies in animal immunology below⬇️🐟🐖🐓 CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Animal Mucosal T Cell Biology jobs.csiro.au/s/0kv15R

Do we have a vaccine to stop devil facial tumour disease yet? No. Are we making progress? Yes. We published 4 papers in 3 months and won an Australian Research Council #LinkageProject grant. Read about here The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand tinyurl.com/22jt6964. Thank you Menzies Institute for Medical Research University of Tasmania #Tasmania

In a paper by Ahab Kayigwe in the Journal of General Virology Microbiology Society we have shown that an adenoviral vector that encodes devil interferon-gamma (#IFNG) can transduce devil facial tumour cells in the lab and upregulates MHC-I on bystander cells. doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.…

Congratulations Ahab Kayigwe for your first PhD paper! Check out link the below for more awesome Tassie devil research from my old lab ⬇️

First paper since changing research field. Loving learning all the interesting things about immune systems and disease in our fellow fishies🐟Congrats team! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are looking for people to serve as an external member of the University of Tasmania Institutional Biosafety Committee. This is a chance for volunteers to play a role in shaping the future of research in #Tasmania. careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/498408/…

Looking for a PhD student to help develop a Wildlife health intelligence system! This machine learning project but will include regular interactions with #Tasmanian devils in captivity and some fieldwork. Contact me @wildimmunity for info. Please RT utas.edu.au/research/degre…

Registration is open for #WACI2024 . Join us in Hobart, #Tasmania 1-2 Feb 2024. No registration fee and we provide #FreeLunch and morning/afternoon snacks. Space is limited so register now! wacimmuno.com/waci-2024-prog… #WildImmunology Michelle Baker Amanda Patchett @Sharkviro

WACImmuno is in the early stages of planning #WACI2025. Let us know if you are interested and what dates would work best for you! Please #retweet @Grahammunology Marty Martin Dr Hannah Siddle Beddoe Lab @Xenojacko Camila Espejo @ProfKenField Simon Babayan @amybpedersen One Health Research

Had a great time at #WACI2024 earlier this month catching up with old and new friends to discuss all things animals and immunology! Congratulations Andy Flies and WACImmuno for organising a great workshop. Stay tuned for #WACI2025

Amazing encounter with this beautiful echidna today on Tasmania's takayna coast. For the ecologists out there, is this a case of leucism?

An important example of how improper science changed public perception, impacting conservation of a critical species. Congrats Max Stammnitz @maxstammnitz.bsky.social on setting the record straight. DFTs remain the primary cause of Tassie devil decline - interventions like vaccines could ensure longevity.
