LIF, laugh, love: MUST-READ from @gogoimayuri discovering a new function of ILC2s via LIF for the progression of systemic immune responses! It has been a pleasure to see this work develop & excited to see its therapeutic potential unlocked for the future!

As promised last week, here is an amazing study from the McKenzie Lab @MRC_LMB . Bravo to @aydanszeto, Paula and the whole team!! Exciting!!

Synthetic boolean logic-gated gene circuitry? #ILC2 fanatics? #CRISPR screening rare #immune cells? Cre-Lox on steroids? If these buzzwords caught your attention, check out our study. 2/ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Relocating the lab to the Oxford Centre for Immuno-oncology going really well. Such a great research environment. We have new positions available, including this post-doc position: jobs.ac.uk/job/DHZ362/pos… New address is: david.withers@immonc.ox.ac.uk - email to find out more

Please share & repost! Thanks! Are you excited about neuroimmunology? Do you have/are you finishing a PhD in neuroscience, (neuro)immunology or organoid biology? I'm recruiting a postdoc to join me this September/October at the new lab! @MRC_LMB nature.com/naturecareers/…

Job Alert🚨 Soon I'll be seeking a motivated #postdoc to join me @ Neuroimmune Crosstalk Lab @MRC_LMB 🧠💉🫁🔬 Looking for diverse experience but organoid experts have a + Keep an 👀 on this space for the official job post! Meanwhile, DM me for informal queries Image: Copilot

Can confirm that Cambridge in July is beautiful. Talk everything ILC and go punting while you’re here!! 😍 @ILC5_2024 punt chalk talks while trying not to fall into the Cam? 🤔

If you're interested in meningeal 🧠immunity, T cells and infections don't miss freshly-minted 🎉Dr. Fleming's talk #BSI23 @FlemingImmuno from @ClatworthyLab @Cambridge_Uni 🔬 Neuroimmunology part 1, 11:00am, Hall 2b Thursday

@FlemingImmuno @aydanszeto @gogoimayuri Wouldn’t dare miss it!!

@aydanszeto @Michelle_cKO @gogoimayuri Come see me speak on Thursday in the neuroimmunology session 😀

The McKenzie Lab has made it to Belfast for #BSI23 ! If you want to know more about unbiased CRISPR screens and/or Th2 cells (or even unpublished story in ILC2s 🤫), come to talk me at posters 123 and 124! See you there :) @Michelle_cKO @gogoimayuri

Excited to share our paper in @NatImmunol describing X-CHIME, a CRISPR-based system for knocking out genes in immune cells constitutively, inducibly, sequentially, and lineage-specifically. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@DavidPosner13 @FlemingImmuno @Cambridge_Uni @ClatworthyLab @RoychoudhuriLab 👏👏 congrats Dr @FlemingImmuno

Couldn't have asked to spend my PhD with a better mentor. Congrats Dr. Fleming @FlemingImmuno on passing your viva! @Cambridge_Uni @ClatworthyLab thanks for examiner @RoychoudhuriLab

@DavidPosner13 You just beat me 🤪 I think 85% of those minutes were during thesis writing

My greatest achievement of the year

🔥#Neuroimmunology🔥 is a rapidly expanding area–can't wait to see what's discovered over the coming years! As a primer, our review led by @rossana_azzoni on Neuroimmune Interactions in the Lung is online now doi.org/10.1146/annure… @AnnualReviews @GIN_Discovery @MonashImmunol

For context, I was in the centre lane & clearly indicated I was turning right from Coleridge Rd -> Hobart Rd and 5s later, a car sped past me on my right as I was turning and almost hit me if I hadn’t braked in time. I had bike lights, reflective jacket & helmet

Very frustrated by the reckless driving going on in #Cambridge as cars try to pass cyclists!! Completely unnecessary. Are drivers only going to be held accountable when cyclists get hurt (or worse)? @camcycle please advise!
