This episode is a special one! We sit down for an inspiring conversation with Dr Mate Kiss, winner of the Young Investigator Award in Basic Science for 2023, as he guides us through his groundbreaking research on Cell-autonomous regulation of complement C3 by factor H limits macrophage efferocytosis and exacerbates atherosclerosis, published in Immunity. Dr Kiss shares his journey as an early-career scientist, key insights from his award-winning work, and the challenges he overcame along the way. We also delve into his latest research on the intriguing connection between sleep and atherosclerosis. 🔊 Spotify: eas.to/ATHTalkE08S 🔊 Apple Podcasts: eas.to/ATHTalkE08A 🔊 Youtube: eas.to/ATHTalkE08Y @ProfKausikRay @KatiOorni

Proud to share the second chapter of our joint work on TREM2 - this time in atherosclerosis led by Marie Piollet and @FloPorsch in this fantastic collaboration with the labs of @ClementCochain and @ZerneckeLab.


Honoured to be awarded with the Helmut-Sinzinger Preis 2023 for our work on Trem2-macrophages and systemic levels of soluble Trem2 in liver disease. Thanks @billrothhaus @FloPorsch @cj_binder

Excited to share our new paper on the surprising role of complement factor H (CFH) in atherosclerosis published in @ImmunityCP today. In the study led by Máté G. Kiss and Nikolina Papac-Miličević, we identified a subset of macrophages expressing CFH. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hUBd3qNrUu3…
