"Early and accurate diagnosis ensures that people with PIDs receive the medical care they need to manage their condition which will prevent complications,” Professor Jo Douglass, co-chair of the ASCIA Immunodeficiency Strategy.

@LabPhan @SVHSydney @SVH_BSCCR @GarvanInstitute @UNSWMedicine Excited to work on the national immunodeficiency strategy this week with @ascia_news and @IDFAustralia to improve diagnosis and care of our patients with primary immune deficiencies

[Phan Lab @LabPhan]

Stories like Archie with a rare PID are not so rare. Thankful for @AYKane leadership to est. first adult PID clinic @SVHSydney to leverage Prof John Moore & @SVH_BSCCR to deliver state-of-the-art precision immunology. Glad to be part of the team @GarvanInstitute @UNSWMedicine.

New work by CIRCA members @ElissaDeenick and @DeenickLab , @stutangye and @Tangye_Lab @GarvanInstitute Unravelling complexities of human disease due to germline variants in PIK3D and PIK3R1 causing #APDS. @AllaboutAPDS

@Ldq3Liam @ChrisMinnsMP Me too! Great first day hitting the hospitals. Looking forward to real change to our health care system. We need it!

[Alisa @AYKane]

Great to meet @ChrisMinnsMP at Liverpool hospital today. Hope to work with you to improve access to treatments for rare primary immune deficiencies https://t.co/204OeoqCSG

@LabPhan @ChrisMinnsMP @NSWHealth @ascia_news Great to have a Premier who actively prioritises health. Looking forward to exciting work on the immunodeficiency strategy though collaboration with patients, government, health services and research institutes! @SVHSydney @IDFAustralia @GarvanInstitute @Ascia_news @UNSW

@ChrisMinnsMP Great to meet you today at Liverpool Hospital. Thank you for listening to our concerns for our patients with rare genetic immunodeficiencies who need access to life saving treatments https://t.co/1UgzSzNKJQ

Our latest review on Primary Immunodeficiency @ElissaDeenick @bier_julia

[ICB - the journal @ImmunolCellBiol]

Primary immune deficiency is caused by genetic mutations that lead to immune dysfunction and subsequent susceptibility to infection. @ElissaDeenick @GarvanInstitute et al review the mechanisms underlying defective antibody responses in #PID. #immunology

A brief thread about what might be coming up in Australia to control #COVID19. I'll emphasise that what interventions are likely to work depend very much on the situation at the time, and not all are being considered in the near future, or even at all.

[Catriona Vi Nguyễn-Robertson @CatrionaNR]

Sometimes we think of immunodeficiency and autoimmunity as opposite ends of a spectrum. But @ElissaDeenick points out that the two can overlap. She studies a syndrome in which the immune system (B cells) struggles to fight infection but targets the own body instead. #ASI2019SA

[Alisa @AYKane]

Congratulations Steph on a stellar year! Looking forward to working with you both next year @ElissaDeenick @deenicklab @GarvanInstitute

[Elissa Deenick @ElissaDeenick]

Lots of great talks from the @UNSWMedicine SOMS honours students. Congrats to @DeenickLab member Steph on a great honours project. Glad that you’re coming back next year to keep working with us. @AYKane @GarvanInstitute

[Dr Vanessa Bryant @vanessabryantoz]

Coffee breaks lead to great discoveries! Whole-heartedly agree! @IsabelleMeyts @CIRCA_genomics

[The Clinical Immunogenomics Research Consortium @CIRCA_genomics]

Great talk @IsabelleMeyts. It was a packed room - not just me in the front row! Thanks for coming to our @CIRCA_genomics symposium.

[Dr Vanessa Bryant @vanessabryantoz]

Brilliant talk by @RCHMelbourne expert transplant immunolgist, Theresa Cole of the tough choices facing families with PID and the clinical teams that care for them and the potential transformative benefit a genomic result can offer @CIRCA_genomics

[Stuart Tangye @stutangye]

Today we held the 2nd @CIRCA_genomics symposium @GarvanInstitute. We kicked off in style with @IsabelleMeyts telling us about the pearls and pitfalls of NGS for PIDs. Inspired talks also by @vanessabryantoz and Therese Cole and many more. Thanks to all for coming! More tomorrow.

[Alisa @AYKane]

Two absolutely fantastic days of translational immunology for our patients with primary immunodeficiency

[Stuart Tangye @stutangye]

Dynamic duo @AYKane and @ErikaDellaMina1 @CIRCA_genomics symposium today. CARD9 defects and really bad fungal infections.

[Alisa @AYKane]

@sarah_sasson @mikemorrison Great work Sarah! And I’m loving the style of your poster!

[Alisa @AYKane]

Excellent talk by Jin Yap on the clinical value of a genetic diagnosis in PID #circa #ascia2019 @GarvanInstitute @stutangye
