We're hiring! Are you a lab scientist interested in human immunology of infectious disease, using cellular models of host-pathogen interactions and human experimental challenge, focusing on immune responses in Tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2? Apply here: bit.ly/3yPdfO5

The latest exciting step forward in T cell receptor representation ! Yuta Nagano outperforms TCR-BERT ! arxiv.org/pdf/2406.06397

Use an unsupervised SimCSE-like approach on TCR CDR loops to get some pretty neat results!

On my way to Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, and as often then finding time and inspiration to read stuff that I should know, but actually don’t. Here’s a short history of the discovery of the T cell receptor. 🧵

Three days left to join us at UCL as a Postdoc! Apply now ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Great postdoc opportunity below! Amazing science & lab within the unique scientific environment IIT. Opportunities to develop both wet and dry lab skills 🥼💻

How does the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 unfold after primary exposure? Glad for the opportunity to contribute to answering this using the unique data coming from the human challenge study! Now out nature.

Last few days for applications to this post- don't miss out!

Want to put (sensible!) error bars on your diversity estimate? In work now out Physical Review E I derive an analytical formula for unbiased sampling variance estimation thus removing the need for rarefaction analyses doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

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…

What did we #learn after #sequencing #5million #Tcells #scRNA and #TCRseq with Lisa Wagar Andreas Tiffeau-Mayer Suhas Sureshchandra and funding agency Wellcome Leap STLChildrensHospital -Tissue determinants of the human T cell receptor repertoire. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Searching for new Fellows is part of how we learn about the most exciting work being done by young people in our field. We hope to make three new appointments with three year terms. Please apply!
