Ready for #BSI22 with the boys (plus the twins Ben Jenkins Fernando Ponce )🧬

Looking forward to #BSI22 - if you've got any interest in T cells, autoimmunity and/or immunometabolism, please come and have a look at our work at P-508 this week!

#BSI22 you been a blast Fernando Ponce Dr Sophie Reed Ben Jenkins 🧬

Awesome few days at #BSI22 in Liverpool - thanks to everyone who took the time to come and have a chat about our work yesterday, really enjoyed all the discussion

Queen's University Belfast 🎓 Belfast Trust Next is the BSI Immunology Teaching Excellence Award, which recognises an exceptional #immunology teacher working in higher education in the UK This year the award is shared by Dr Sophie Rutschmann at Imperial College London & Dr Tom Wilkinson at Swansea University 👨‍🏫👏

New! Online now: Canagliflozin impairs T cell effector function via metabolic suppression in autoimmunity dlvr.it/SpYPJQ

🔬New study: Researchers Nick Jones Ben Jenkins @SwanseaMedicine have found that a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes can potentially be used in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Cell Metabolism ➡️swan.ac/autoimmune

🔬Astudiaeth newydd: Mae ymchwilwyr @SwanseaMedicine wedi canfod y gall cyffur a ddefnyddir yn gyffredin i drin diabetes math 2 helpu i drin anhwylderau awtoimiwnedd o bosib. Nick Jones Ben Jenkins Cell Metabolism ➡️swan.ac/kkb

🚨Last weeks #immunometabolism discoveries Bims: Biomed News ⬇️⬇️⬇️ biomed.news/bims-imicid/20… Highlight: Canagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, impairs T cell effector function AND more inside!

Glycogen-fuelled metabolism supports rapid Mucosal Associated Invariant T cell responses pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Cheers to Féaron Cassidy, PhD and @AndyHogan82 on a fantastic study. As always loved being a part with Ben Jenkins 🎉🥂@SwanseaMedicine

‘Autoimmunity, Inflammation and Immune Privilege’ session: excellent talks from Lucy Walker, David Wraith, Ben Jenkins and Dave Copland. From ocular autoimmunity to 🎯 costimulation, immunometabolism, and antigen-specific cells in autoimmunity👌#BSIBristol23 #CMMBristol

Awesome to see our work being featured on the cover of this month's issue of Cell Metabolism! Massive thanks again to everyone who's helped with this project

🧪Postdoc job alert! #Immunometabolism We are recruiting a postdoc to work on human immunometabolism at Swansea University! Come and work in a fully outfitted, vibrant research lab by the beach 🏖️ Details and application: swansea.ac.uk/jobs-at-swanse… Deadline: 29th February 2024!

Really pleased to share two review articles the lab has been involved in lately 👇🏻 Thanks for the involvement!

The first takes a look at repurposing metabolic drugs as anti-inflammatory agents with Ben Jenkins and O'Shea & Hogan Lab cell.com/trends/endocri…

Secondly, PhD student Emma Lucas and myself contributed towards how metabolism shapes relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, led by João Barata and colleagues from the T-ALL special interest group nature.com/articles/s4137…
