My PhD is officially satisfactory! 😂

It feels strange that it's completely done, but I'm happy I managed to achieve something during lockdown.

Looking forward to when I can have proper celebrations with real life humans 🍻

@ScientistTess Looks yum to me

Starting a new position today as a Senior Scientist at AstraZeneca.

I'm excited for this opportunity and to further develop my passion for improving immunotherapy outcomes for Cancer patients 😊.

The beautiful thing about this interaction it that is so exquisitely specific there is minimal healthy cells caught in the cross fire 🔥

(unless your immune cells recognise your own cells as foreign 🤐)

Have some spare time until I share some exciting news on Monday so I got into some #sciart and #immunology #SciComm

This is the formation of a immunological synapse between a "killer" immune cell and a damaged target cell. This ultimately leads to target cell death.

Been working on using mixed media of acyrilic paint and pigment liners. This was inspired by a amudsen brewery can and was super fun to make 😊.

Excited to share our new paper out at @NatImmunol today! We discovered the limiting factor for #brain #Tregs is #IL2, and developed a new #genetherapy to treat #traumaticbraininjury and other #neuroinflammatory pathologies. 1/12

@CoffeltLab Would be interesting to see if this approach would be contraindicated in a colitis associated cancer setting/ with other inflammation driven cancers

[Chelsea Gerada @ChelseaGerada1]

Such a cool paper showing a #vaccine which targets MICA/B to activate the #cancer assassins (T and NK cells) through NKG2D.

This stratergy is very useful for when a primary #tumour has been removed to protect a patient from #metastatic disease.

Congratulations to my PhD buddy Lauren and @VZVCMVlab
for this amazing work on how #HCMV affects #immune reconstitution following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation by utilising #CyTOF to analyse patient samples.

Give it a read!

To anyone that claims to be working 60+ hours. You might think you are but you're not, it's not possible.

Attempted overwork is dangerous, misguided, and deeply unhealthy.

Don't promote overwork.
