Out in @CellCellPress today! We describe the first humans with inherited, complete FLT3L deficiency. Despite a lack of most dendritic cells, they reached adulthood. See the thread below for the main highlights of our paper. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The best day of the year is here! It's the annual #DayOfImmunology 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you to all of our brilliant immunologists who are working hard to improve our health and knowledge. @ASImmunology dayofimmunology.org.au

🔊SAVE THE DATE 🔊 ImmuMon is back again in 2024 - more details coming soon!

#Immune key to chronic viral infections discovered by @MonashBDI researchers led by Prof @KimLJacobson in @ImmunityCP of a previously unknown immune cell that alters immune memory in these infections. Story: bit.ly/4aVfIF7; Article dlvr.it/T5DpCg

This represents how we believe haematopoiesis is actually proceeding at a clonal level. I'll walk through our preprint early next week. "A multi-track landscape of haematopoiesis informed by cellular barcoding and agent-based modelling" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Get to know your immune system at one of our FREE upcoming events! The Day of Immunology is fast approaching and to celebrate we have events running in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, and Auckland. See the great opportunities and register at dayofimmunology.org.au

I am very excited to see this in print! New work from our lab defines an interferon-induced memory B cell subset during chronic viral infection. An awesome effort by Lucy Cooper @coopernatant & supported by our generous lab members & collaborators @MonashBDI @ImmunityCP

and here it is! A great collaboration with @LanKhuyenNguyen and his lab @MonashBDI to prioritise combination therapies in breast cancer. Thanks to @KelvinHYYip, all co-authors, editors and reviewers! This is for Giovanna 🩷 nature.com/articles/s4169…
