Thoroughly enjoyed attending @bsicongress #BSI23 this past week! Delighted to have had the opportunity to present some of my PhD work from the @BasdeoLab ‘Supporting alveolar macrophage function to enhance immune responses to mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lungs’🫁🦠

Cliona Ni Cheallaigh shares some advice for taking “the fear factor” out of including marginalised groups in research - including talking, paying attention, thinking of practical considerations, and simply being thoughtful.

Interested in host-pathogen interactions? 🦠🔬We are looking for an enthusiatic candidate to join our interdisciplinary group for an #SFI funded PhD studentship on nutrient handing during non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection of alveolar macrophages! @TrinityMed1 @suzcloo ⬇️

It was a pleasure to get to speak at the @yISI_ie early career researcher's day and show some my work on using IFN-Y to improve macrophage responses to M. tuberculosis! There was such a lovely atmosphere about the place! Thank you so much to the organisers for inviting me! 😊

The TTMI Transition Year programme is open for applications for the March 4th - 8th 2024 cohort. Deadline for applications is Dec 18th 2023.

Government must honour its pledge to bridge the annual €307M shortfall in core funding for higher education. Our sector is grossly underfunded and it is having a huge impact on students & staff. Another budget cannot come and go without meaningful investment. #FundTheFuture

Congratulations to @rob__briggs @TCDGerontology and Dr Cilian Ó Maoldomnaigh @TBImmunologyTCD who have been awarded Postdoctoral Fellowships from @hrbireland #TrinityResearch #researchMATTERS #LoveIrishResearch More: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…

Congratulations to Dr Vozza⁦@EmilioVozza⁩ always a great day in the lab when the latest PhD student flies the nest! Thanks to ⁦⁦@foster_lab⁩ and ⁦@ShareeBasdeo⁩ for examining

A major new study - published this evening in @Nature- led by @NollaigBourke @TrinityMed1 & @pjhpauljh @Hudson_Research suggests the anti-tumour activities of an immune protein may stop ovarian cancer growth. More: tcd.ie/news_events/to… #ovariancancer #TrinityResearch

Basdeo lab in @TCDTMI @TrinityMed1 were delighted to host our summer research internship which got members of the public to partner with us in our research funded by @hrbireland. As well as carrying out research, our interns took part in labs, tried frailty suits and more! #PPI

Thank you so much to the lovely team @TCDTangent for hosting our @hrbireland funded Public Involvement in Research Innovation Workshop with @Foroige aimed at amplifying black voices in our research process. #LoveIrishResearch

This week marks 1 year since we launched our #LeaveOurLeave campaign. One year on, 60 more women & their families have been unable to postpone their maternity leave while they go through cancer treatment. Help us call for change by sharing this video 📣 youtu.be/_H89C1er9aU

Have you or someone you know been affected by Tuberculosis? 🫁 Trinity researchers are organising a 1-day workshop and we want to hear from you! See our poster for more information. Please retweet and help spread the word! 📢 @tcddublin @stjamesdublin @hrbireland

Finally published: Our article comparing the overall mortality effects of adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccines and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines based on data from the randomized clinical trials. The two vaccine types had significantly different effects. cell.com/iscience/pdf/S…

We want to hear your opinion at a group workshop on how to improve the diagnosis/treatment of TB - whether that may be a family member/friend who has TB or previously had TB. Please RT and spread the word! #patientresearch #EndTB #TB @stjamesdublin @IrishLung @TrinityMed1 @WHO

Today’s decision was evidence-based and nuanced. Solutions range from ‘denaming’ the library to ‘retaining-and-explaining’ a memorial window. Berkeley’s importance as an intellectual figure remains. How we memorialise him has changed. Thank you to all involved in the process.

TTMI was delighted to host the @Irishimmunology outreach event for primary school children. Thanks to the many researchers, inc @DrMelissaConroy @kitschycox @BasdeoLab @aisling_heeran @derv_murphy @EimearMyloooood, who ran this event, and sponsors @AssayGenie @MasonTechnology
