Super excited to finally share our @NatImmunol paper “Effector and stem-like memory cell fates are imprinted in distinct lymph node niches directed by CXCR3 ligands” from @WEHI_research! nature.com/articles/s4159… Thread with details below:

.@benjbroom, Groom et al. show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation and cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells hubs.la/Q03b6ykm0

Last session on adaptive immunity and therapeutics @The_VIIN Starting with @BrigDoesScience @WEHI_research tracking the #memory #TCELL 🔬 Fantastic work with beautiful images of #TCELL as always from @groomlab ❤️

@BrigDoesScience from @WEHI_research kicked off the last oral presentation session of the day 🙌 Sharing a great story investigating where memory CD8+ T cells and their friends "hang out" in the lymph node using a mouse model @The_VIIN #YoungVIIN #VIINYIS

1/ 🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨Our new paper, led by @ObersAndreas & @maxevrard, is now live in @ImmunityCP! 🧬 Curious how CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) adopt their fate in different organs? Let’s dive in! 🧵👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1jw~j_OR~yiO…

Big congrats to our researchers on receiving a combined $600k in research funding from mRNA Victoria! Bravo Sandra Nicholson, Joanna Groom (@groomlab), Hannah Vanyai and @BlewittMarnie. Learn more: premier.vic.gov.au/investing-life…

New paper alert Our most recent manuscript investigating T cells in TIL-hi dMMR and pMMR colon cancer is out now @iScience_CP cell.com/iscience/fullt…

@WEHI_research There are so many people to thank for getting this project done, mostly the two top dogs, Edwin Hawkins & @Dr_Ivan_Poon. Forever grateful for the years of mentorship and pushing me through the ups and downs 👊

Thank you so much to @EFIS_Immunology for the opportunity to present my work at #ECIS2024! It was a privilege to give my first international talk at such a fantastic meeting. Thank you also to @WEHI_Postdocs for the travel award to help send me to Dublin! 🇮🇪🍀

So excited to be in Dublin for #ECI2024!

Also! I'm recruiting for a... Post doc: aurecruitment.actionhrm.com/myrecruit/newA… And an RA: aurecruitment.actionhrm.com/myrecruit/newA… If you're interested in discovering weird and wonderful triggers of inflammation in #neurodevelopmentaldisorder, #neurodegeneration and #inflammatorydisease please apply

Guys! I've opened my independent research lab 🎊 Incredibly excited to stress out a bunch of cells and see what cytokines they make 🔬👩🏻‍🔬🧫 And delighted that I'll be working with so many of my #Inflammation research hero's @Hudson_Research

Fabulous to see this stellar research (and researcher!) recognized internationally by the @CytokineSociety 👏🏼👏🏼

Excited to share many years of work trying to understand how to promote CD8+ T cell memory cells to improve vaccine protection

Thrilled that my lab @ONJCRI and @LIMSLTU are recognised as finalists for the @eurekaprizes

Thrilled to have this story out online @ImmunityCP!! Together with @SunLab_Official, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵cell.com/immunity/fullt…

A huge honour to be awarded the ICIS-Pfizer Junior Investigator Award for Most Promising Research Presentation. Can’t wait to share my science at the ICIS Cytokines 2024 conference in Seoul in October! @CytokineSociety @WEHI_research @groomlab

Congratulations to WEHI PhD student Benjamin Broomfield (@benjbroom) for winning a @cytokinesociety - @pfizer Junior Investigator Award for Most Promising Research Presentation 👏👏 🧵 1/2

Come join us at @WEHI_research for the Day of Immunology! (Can confirm there will be spinning lymph nodes featured 🪩)

Discover your immune system with our expert researchers at WEHI, Parkville on April 29th 10 am! Hear about visualising immunity, engineered immune cells, T cells and breast immunology. dayofimmunology.org.au #WEHIresearch @WEHI_research @calebadawson #DayOfImmunology

@jack_chan15 @Nature @EvanWeberPhD @MackallLab @ChScheffler @I_mun0z @JunyunLai @PaulBeavis Congrats Jack this is huge!

Hey we published in @Nature (woah) The story: #FOXO1 + CAR-T = a good combo (wow) It's back-to-back with the esteemed @EvanWeberPhD + @MackallLab (huge) Work by @ChScheffler @I_mun0z @JunyunLai @paulbeavis + Phil (big CAR-T energy) nature.com/articles/s4158…
