@davidjohnlynn @Flinders @colinstirling Congrats David!

[Caetano Reis e Sousa @ReiseSousaLab]

Check out our latest paper https://t.co/093sh0UUVF. Congratulations to @giampazolias who led the work. Thanks to very many who helped. Great collaboration with Tine Jess and @RominaGoldszmid labs. Tweetorial will follow soon.

We are looking for post-docs interested in studying T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection. The NIH intramural program is an amazing place to train! Check us out.

We are looking for young (18-35) healthy adults in Adelaide to join this unique NHMRC-funded vaccine study. If you’re in Adelaide, or know people there, please share widely through your networks @sahmriAU @FlindersHMRI @Flinders @SA_genomics

[Natalie Stevens @StevensWithAPhD]

We're looking for healthy, young (18-35yo) participants in Adelaide for our new study!
Participants must be willing to take a course of antibiotics 💊 + undergo vaccination 💉and multiple blood draws 🩸+ self-collect stool samples 💩

@C_Scanga @NatureMicrobiol Beautiful work, Chuck!

[Mainthan Palendira @palendira]

Excited to see this work from the lab get into preprint. Shows why mapping cellular interactions in tissues can be very informative!

Our article "No evidence of durable trained immunity after two doses of adenovirus-vectored or mRNA COVID-19 vaccines" is out now as an online preview in @jclinicalinvest. Thanks to @FlindersFound and @BioplatformsAus for funding

Exciting work from @kerryhilligan on new regulatory function of IFNg in production against #COVID19 !

[Kerry Hilligan @kerryhilligan]

📢 Excited to share our latest pre-print from the Sher lab on @biorxiv_immuno ⬇️
We show IFNγ (due to concurrent bacterial infection or recombinant cytokine treatment) conditions the non-hematopoietic compartment in the🫁 to *protect* against #COVID19 in mice 🐭

Congratulations Vanja!

[Vanja Lazarevic @VanjaLazarevic5]

Delighted to share our recent @NatImmunol study led by @YuanyuanGao6, @ywangCB, and @dchauss, showing that transcription factor EGR2 controls tissue- and disease-specific functions in pathogenic Th17 cells in the CNS. Many thanks to our collaborators!!!
