@MaillardLab @VanderveenLab @TheKennedyTrust @blizard_inst @QMUL Congratulations Pierre! 🥳

[Claire D. Bourke @BourkeLab]

Was so proud to see @HaiderTafhima presenting our new work investigating how undernutrition may shape innate immune cell function at last week's @britsocimm congress in Belfast. A great session coordinated by @meganmacleod15 @wo_jules

[Dr Tafhima Haider @HaiderTafhima]

@M_Iliodromiti @QMUL @CphpQmul @QMUL_WIPH Congratulations Matina! Looking forward to working with you 😊

Delighted to host our first in-person research group meeting in London after years of zooming. A visit to Tower Bridge seemed apt for a team that bridges continents & research gaps @HaiderTafhima @BourkeLab @ Tracy

[Claire D. Bourke @BourkeLab]

Proud to see our preprint online - innate immune cells from malnourished children have a distinct way of responding to bacterial antigens than those from adequately-nourished children with implications for nutritional rehab. @ZvitamboZim🤞for peer review!

[GeneticsUnzipped @GeneticsUnzip]

NEW EPISODE!

👶 We're looking at the genetics of pregnancy 🫄

Placentas are WEIRD. What other organ forms so quickly, is made from two individuals and has to perform so many life supporting jobs? @cw_hanna @CTR_Cambridge

Listen to the whole story: https://t.co/1G4P2O39Bg

[Claire D. Bourke @BourkeLab]

It’s been a busy year @BourkeLab with 1000s of immunology assays across our research studies. @TafhimaHaider, @ZvitamboZim, Tracy Phiri, et al.

Thanks to all who’ve given, processed & analysed samples so that we can keep discovering. Happy Christmas from our lab to yours!
