Looking forward to presenting at the LIG seminar series tomorrow! If you are interested in hearing about biomarkers of response to checkpoint blockade in melanoma join here: ucl.zoom.us/my/ligonlinejo…

It was an honour to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to the UCL Institute of Immunity & Transplantation. Such a fantastic JDRF event discussing our #type1diabetes research and the #ConnectImmuneResearch partnership. IIT Royal Free Charity

Thrilled to have Her Majesty The Queen visit IIT to hear about the type 1 diabetes research in Professor Lucy Walker’s lab. Her Majesty is president of JDRF who fund ground-breaking research aiming to cure this condition. UCL News UCL Division of Infection & Immunity ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/jun/…

Petersone et al. Lucy Walker Lab UCL IIT investigate IL-21–dependent germinal center (GC) regulation and reveal key roles for IL-21 in promoting light zone GC B cell selection and controlling dark zone GC B cell proliferation by upregulation of cyclin D3. bit.ly/3pLquLO

New study led by Lina Petersone now in JExpMed . Cytokine IL-21 from Tfh promotes germinal center (GC) responses & is overproduced in #autoimmune diseases. We found IL-21R deficiency led to a GC dark zone defect in autoimmune and immunisation settings 1/4 doi.org/10.1084/jem.20…
