Fantastic work from our flash talk presenters

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Wonderful panel discussion with Prof. Connie Wong, Prof. Wei Shi, and Dr. Prasanti Kotagiri on academic collaboration. 🌟
They shared valuable lessons on building trust, fostering partnerships, and sustaining successful collaborations in research. #Collaboration #Academia

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Excellent talk from Md Amir Hossain (MIPS) on breast cancer and the tumour immune landscape. 🎯
He showed that beta-blockade can counteract chemotherapy-driven stress signals, reshaping immune cells in tumours and improving cancer control.

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Insightful presentation from Jack Edwards (STM) on advanced melanoma treatment.
By profiling peripheral immune changes during checkpoint blockade, his work aims to predict both treatment response and potential toxicity. #Melanoma #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Great talk from Galih Adhyatma (BDI) on “suppressing the suppressors” — developing new antibody strategies to boost cancer immunotherapy. 🎯
Exciting progress in unleashing stronger anti-tumour responses. #Immunotherapy #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Inspiring talk from Jessica Whui Yuin Wu (CID) on developing a novel targeted regulatory T cell therapy for HLA-DR3-associated systemic lupus erythematosus. 🌟
A promising step forward for precision immunotherapy. #Immunotherapy #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Fascinating talk from Ashleigh Paschek (STM) on urinary tract infection and kidney dysfunction. 🦠
She showed the IL33-ILC2 axis drives severe infection, with interleukin-33 elevated in both chronic infection mice and patients with recurrent infections. #Immunology #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Great talk from Alana Kirn (BDI) on how interferons shape B cell responses during chronic viral infection. 🦠
This work shows Type I IFN dynamics help define memory B cell identity and function over time. #Immunology #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Huge thanks to keynote speaker Dr. Michael Chopin for sharing his inspiring career journey. 🌟
The immunology field would truly regret it if you’d chosen soccer instead! #Immunology #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Exciting presentation from Nathan Nguyen (MIPS) on TRPV4 in macrophages. 🧬
Using multi-omics, he uncovered new functional roles for this ion channel in regulating immune responses. #Immunology #MIPS #Monash

[ImmuMon @ImmuMon]

Great talk from Mariam Bafit (BDI) on P. vivax malaria. 🦟
Using the high-dimensional mass cytometry, Mariam showed that classical monocytes are depleted during infection. She also used transcriptome analysis to reveals immune dysfunction—even in asymptomatic cases. #Immunology
