girls will say “I did a thing :)” and it’s get a PhD in molecular biology

I had the most incredible time attending #Cytokines2024 in Seoul 🇰🇷 delighted to have the opportunity to present research from my PhD project looking at the effect of trained immunity and metabolic reprogramming on the immune functions of lung epithelial and fibroblast cells 🫁

Super excited to share my PhD work, out now in nature. Here, myself, Lydia Lynch, and all my wonderful co-authors explored the link between circadian rhythms, energy homeostasis and innate T cell function. A thread: 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

This lad is never not at it. On a "break" from postering he's keeping up with Cllr casework. He works non-stop for the people of Ballymun and Finglas (ask them) and will do the same for Dublin North-West when elected Vote Left, transfer Left Cllr Conor Reddy 🇵🇸 People Before Profit Scoliosis Ireland

I'm absolutely ecstatic to share that I passed my PhD viva voce. I couldn't have made it through this journey without my incredible supervisor Sharee Ann Basdeo and my amazing lab. Thank you so much to Eva Kaufmann and FreddieMac(rophage) for examining me and Nollaig Bourke for chairing ✨

I'm delighted to share that I successfully defended my thesis yesterday! Thank you so much to my wonderful supervisors Melissa Conroy and JL for all their support and to Breakthrough Cancer Research for funding this PhD!

New paper alert! 🥳We are so proud to share this amazing work from the lab led by Sarah Connolly and Aaron Walsh. In this study, we show that the BTN162b2 mRNA vaccine induces anti-inflammatory trained immunity in humans 💉💉Read more here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So proud of this work from the amazing Sarah Connolly and Aaron Walsh 🥳

Excited to share our latest publication demonstrating how BNT162b2 vaccination can reprogramme innate immunity to reduce and control inflammation against both targeted and non-targeted pathogens—suggestive of trained immunity!

While everyone was obsessing over CRISPR, a small team just quietly published a paper in Science solving genetic medicine's biggest problem. They created a system that can fix thousands of different mutations at once. Here's how they did it 🧵
