Vinuesa Lab

Phenomenal work by Qian (Sophie) Shen and Carola Vinuesa @VinuesaLab on how TCF1 and LEF1 promote B-1a cell homeostasis and regulatory function, presented by Carola at #IUIS2025. Read more in the paper released yesterday in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…

It was an honour to present at the Third International School on Advanced Immunology. We found that DECTIN-1 induces Treg differentiation and is a modifier protein of severe #autoimmunity, which finally explained a 20 year mystery of incomplete penetrance in a family with a CTLA4 LoF mutation. @ImmunoSens @JCSMR @carovinuesa @PabloCanete6 @VinuesaLab

.@yzhang_archer @VinuesaLab et al. reveal a role for hypomorphic SH2B3 in #lupus risk and show that rare, damaging variants in lupus patients enable breach of B cell immune tolerance checkpoints. hubs.la/Q02TfwQh0 📘 In our #Autoimmunity collection: hubs.la/Q02TfzFB0

Brilliant @TheCrick Lecture by @carovinuesa, sharing her work over the years exploring B cells and their many roles in autoimmunity

Pizza night to celebrate @EmilyHurleyBio’s brilliant MSc thesis, @dianemaurice2’s paper, as well as many other submissions from the lab!

This week we celebrated the accomplishments of the Crick scientists, including the 2023 Johann Anton Merck Award that @carovinuesa received for outstanding scientific preclinical research accomplishments. Join us in congratulating her and other brilliant scientists at @TheCrick!

Carola Vinuesa’s story lies at the intersection of an unusual Venn diagram: her expertise in genetics overlaps with an interest in feminism, social justice and the sway that science can hold in a court of law go.nature.com/4bFU47j

We are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive! Edith, who is currently director-general at @EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025. 🔗 crick.ac.uk/news/2024-07-0…

We had a fantastic time at the #EMBOlymphaticTissues & Germinal Centers workshop in Galway! Lots of exciting and brilliant research, some gaelic games, and many nice discussions with old and new friends ☘️

And make sure to attend @sophieshen896’s talk on Wednesday at 16.30, as well as @Eilema’s on Thursday 9.30 and @carovinuesa’s later at 16.00 🗣️🧬 Sophie and Amalie will also have posters 🤩🧫

The @VinuesaLab representation has started to arrive at Galway ☘️🇮🇪 for the #EMBOlymphaticTissues workshop! Find us if you fancy a chat about autoimmunity, genetics, or anything B cell-y 🧬 🥂

What a great time we had at the @VinuesaLab retreat! Lots of science discussions, games, time by the beach, and even a bbq 🧠🗣️🧫🏖️Thank you for an amazing time @carovinuesa @sophieshen896 @Eilema @RoserTP @WareThuvaraka @LMShuttleworth

Professor Carola G. Vinuesa FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Her work has illuminated how T cells regulate B cells and control the quality of antibody responses. She is a Royal Society Wolfson Fellow. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/carolag…

Professor Carola Vinuesa, the scientist behind the gene mutation discovery that's led to the new Kathleen Folbigg inquiry, has described Folbigg’s imprisonment as heartbreaking and cruel. See the full interview with @michaelusher on The Latest at 10:35pm. #TheLatest #7NEWS

@LintermanLab @YUmmunology @carovinuesa Me too! 🎉

Academy Fellow (& now @RoyalSociety Fellow) Prof @CarolaVinuesa is making strides in not only immunology but also genetics including a discovery that may lead to the release of Kathleen #Folbigg in what could prove to be a historic miscarriage of justice.

Congrats, Carola! @carovinuesa has been elected Fellow of the @royalsociety, the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence since 1660 👏👏👏
