An exciting opportunity exists for 2 postdoctoral fellows to work on immune responses towards respiratory viral infections and novel vaccine platforms at Hokkaido University (Japan) in close collaboration with Prof Katherine Kedzierska and her team at UniMelb MDHS Doherty Institute

New research by Kedzierska Lab in collab with Peter Mac Cancer Centre shows #COVID #vaccine induces robust T cell responses in blood cancer patients, on par with healthy individuals. Published in Cell Reports Medicine doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… UniMelb MDHS The Royal Melbourne Hospital Katherine Kedzierska

New #research by Peter Mac and the Doherty Institute has found that despite being heavily immunocompromised, #bloodcancer patients generate a strong cellular immune response against #COVID19 after vaccination. petermac.org/news/covid-vac…

New research led by Kedzierska Lab has found that pregnant women display a strong immune response to #SARSCoV2 infection, comparable to that of non-pregnant women.   doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… UniMelb MDHS The Royal Melbourne Hospital @habeljen Katherine Kedzierska Louise Rowntree

Exciting work by our fabulous PhD student @habeljen, on immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy.

New research led by The Royal Melbourne Hospital's Katherine Gibney highlights significant health gap for First Nations populations around the world, who are more likely to be hospitalised and die from #influenza compared to non-Indigenous populations. doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… UniMelb MDHS

#COVID19 vaccination is highly recommended for Indigenous populations. A 🧵on our Nature Immunology paper nature.com/articles/s4159…, highlighting robust immune responses to COVID vaccine in Indigenous peoples. Katherine Kedzierska Jane Davies @Wuji23726691 Oanh Nguyen Doherty Institute (1/10)

Ever wondered what happens when you are sequentially infected with two unrelated viruses? To find out, we assessed immune responses to encephalitic #arbovirus🧠followed by #influenza virus infection 🫁 Isabelle Foo Lukasz Katherine Kedzierska Doherty Institute nature.com/articles/s4146…

📢SAVE THE DATE for the 2024 IgV Annual Scientific Meeting, to be held on 1st-2nd August, at the Yarra Valley Lodge. More details coming soon!💫 Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology

Killer T cell targets for understudied #influenzaB viruses are in short supply. Our study in Nature Communications describes new targets & how responses change across human life & tissues – a🧵⬇ nature.com/articles/s4146… @Tejas_the_Tcell Carolien van de Sandt Katherine Kedzierska Doherty Institute (1/15)

Check out our study on: Seasonal flu vaccines prior to the 2009 pandemic in children to assess antibody correlates of protection. Great collaborations between Janice Haogao Gu and Carolyn Cohen, leveraging RCT of Ben Cowling Gabriel Leung and systems serology Amy Chung

So exciting to watch these three new Drs graduate yesterday!!

So excited to see our new study on #Tcells in #LongCovid published today in PNASNews. Big thank you to Oanh Nguyen, Sophie Valk and Katherine Kedzierska for championing the work.

🌟 A heartfelt thank you Menzies Research for an insightful site visit! Learning about the rich history of the First Nations people was truly enlightening. Your dedication to preserving and sharing this important heritage is inspiring. #Gratitude #CulturalHeritage CEIRRNetwork

📢✨Melbourne Zoo will have more than just adorable wildlife this July... it will also be hosting some of our leading immunologists 🧬🦠 Register by the 26th of May to join us in hearing from our amazing invited speakers as highlighted in this thread! immunology.org.au/events/ASI-VIC…

A big thank you to Ashley St John Ashley St. John Lab from Duke-NUS Medical School for kicking off our 2025 Vic/Tas Branch Meeting at the beautiful Melbourne Zoo, with an engaging talk on how the fetal immune system controls congenital viral infections! 🐅🐘🌿
