Honoured to be one of this year's @CancerResearch Institute's grant recipients. Incredibly grateful for their support of our important research on discovering new immunotherapeutic targets for breast cancer.
@TheDohertyInst
Congratulations Prof Laura Mackay who has secured a prestigious @CancerResearch Institute (USA) grant to advance research into novel immunotherapy targets for breast cancer. The @LMackayLab is leading the way in tissue-resident memory (TRM) cell research and how these cells can be boosted as a protective mechanism against cancer tumours.
@UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH
Thrilled to see our own @MarinaYakou in the #ASMRSpotlight! 🤩
Her research is tackling some big questions in cancer immunology—how patient-intrinsic factors like age, hormones and our microbiome influence antitumor immunity.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. Bowel cancer is rising at an alarming rate in young people, highlighting the importance of Dr Marina Yakou’s work, an ECR from The Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity. #ASMRSpotlight#bowelcancerawareness
In our latest #PeopleandIdeas, we speak with Laura Mackay @LMackayLab@thedohertyinst about the importance of speaking up (and encouraging others to do so), gaining confidence in your career, and her uncommon introduction to science. https://t.co/30bXxFitYO
So much of @LMackayLab's advice and philosophy resonates with me:

Congrats to Prof Laura Mackay (@unimelb & @theDohertyInst) who was awarded the 2024 NHMRC Elizabeth Blackburn Investigator Grant Award (Leadership in Basic Science). Her groundbreaking immunotherapy research is paving the way for better immune protection and patient outcomes
Laura Mackay's lab @LMackayLab@thedohertyinst investigates the development of memory T cells & their roles in #cancer, #autoimmunity, & barrier immunity, as well as ways in which these cells may be used therapeutically. Read more in #PeopleandIdeas:
