Delighted to announce I passed my PhD viva yesterday! Many thanks to my examiners @BenediktKessler and @gunnar_ns for the fantastic discussion and feedback. Thanks as well to my incredible supervisors Ben Collins and @Rebecca_Coll and everyone in the labs!
So proud of the new Dr @Emck197 for smashing her PhD viva! Huge thank you to her examiners @BenediktKessler@gunnar_ns for great discussions on NLRP3 inflammasomes and proteomics - first student co-supervised work Prof Ben Collins in the Collins Lab-Coll Lab-Collaboration!
Delighted to share that our study with @bioagelabs NLRP3 inhibitors is now online @JExpMed ! Together with @Geyer_lab@benedicte_py and @Innate_immuno we characterise BAL-0028 and BAL-0598. Excited to see the new NLRP3 biology they will reveal!
New review from our lab. Kudos to PhD student @SebGrant346534. 10 things you wish you knew about inflammatory caspases: a holistic review of their biochemistry, activation, and signalling - Journal of Biological Chemistry https://t.co/9zrVa1sU0T
Victory again for the Coll-Orr quizzers "Pyroptotic Brain Cells" securing third place at the @WWIEM_QUB annual summer BBQ despite a much diminished team! 🥉
Commercial eel fishing on Lough Neagh forced to close for 2025.
If these were jobs lost in Agri-food giants or the mining/dredging firms on #LoughNeagh the government would be bending over backwards to help.

The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKε, results in uncontrolled cell death–driven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKε prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells.@FabiAlexFischer https://t.co/t0wbhGxfty
