Welcome to Mycobact 2024: ­The 11th International conference on the Pathogenesis of Mycobacterial Infections! 4-6 September in Stockholm, Sweden. Registration is still open! For program & registration 👉mycobact2024.se #mycobact2024

We're so sad that Nino's visit to the Tanner Lab is over but had a send-off in style on the Eurostar back from Acid Fast Club last night 😎🇫🇷 She has been phenomenally productive and brought so much joy to the group - can we keep her Experimental TB Unit (UTE) of the IGTP-HUGTIP?! 🇬🇪🇪🇸🇬🇧

An actual scientist for Minister of Science?! It feels as though our nation has just gone up an evolutionary jump. 🙌

It used to bother me so much when my PI would aimlessly wander into lab for no real reason But here I am. Taking a stroll amongst the students just bec I got a little bored in my office

I am very excited to finally discuss this perspective we have been obsessing about for a while Fatoumatta Darboe, PhD, Josephine Reijneveld, David Maison & Leo Martinez have been incredible co-authors to think through this question: What is the impact of viral infections on TB risk? 1/10

Real antibody-engineering tour the force to identify putative mechanisms of antibody-mediated protection in TB from Fortune/Alter/Grace labs in Nature Microbiology Fc-engineered antibodies promote neutrophil-dependent control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis doi.org/10.1038/s41564…

We're recruiting for inspirational figure to be our next Principal, leading academic mission of College; day-to-day running and longer-term strategy; and relations with our larger community. Saxton Bampfylde is our employment agency advisor. Info/apply: bit.ly/4e32FCr

Being a PI is exactly like running a startup. With the caveats that you cannot bank any money and there has been no adjustment for inflation in 25 years.

The NHS is rolling out the new RSV vaccine this week, and one of the groups it's being offered to is pregnant women (I think vaccination started in Scotland last week). gov.uk/government/pub…

📰 September marks the start of of the new RSV vaccination programme in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Hear from our CEO Dr Doug Brown on why this is a pivotal moment in public health bit.ly/4dMmbn9

Starting today! Mycobact 2024: ­The 11th International conference on the Pathogenesis of Mycobacterial Infections. 4-6 September 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden. For the full programme 👉mycobact2024.se #mycobact2024

Fascinating keynote at #mycobact2024 by Kat Mayer-Barber, PhD highlighting how tuberculosis can modify the response to viruses. Aligns well with the observation that the tuberculosis vaccine BCG can modulate the response to viral pathogens resulting in non-specific effects #NSEvac.

Ready for day 2 of #Mycobact2024 in the beautiful setting of Stallmästaregården in sunny #Stockholm 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 #mycobacteria #TB #immunology #vaccines 🧫🦠

Great to see Christine Stabell Benn speak at #Mycobact2024 - I've followed her work for many years & still fascinated by #NSE of #BCG! Our recent study suggests that #antibodies aren't involved pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38799468/, but we've a systematic review on mechanisms coming soon! 👀 #fangirling

What I really like at #mycobact2024 are the standing ovations after EACH talk! 🧘🤸👍🏻🤣

Day 2 #Mycobact2024 very cool data on neuron like lung cells Olivier Neyrolles, single cell human lung by Al Leslie, BCG non-specific effects Christine Stabell Benn, diagnosis by Annemieke and vaccines by Thomas Statens Serum Inst.

Interested in studying Biology at Oxford? Our final #oxuniopendays for 2025 admission is coming up Friday 20th Sept, 9:00-12.30

Couldn't be prouder of my two former Wadham College Oxford HumanSciences undergraduate students, Rebecca & Jemima, who wrote this tour de force review of shared challenges to the control of complex #intracellular #NTD #pathogens for VALIDATE Network! 🦠🫁💊💉👇 frontiersin.org/journals/publi…
