Proud to have been a small part of this fundamental immunology project! 🥳🧑‍🔬 Huge implications for immunotherapy! Big props to my supervisor @IanParish_AU for crafting and leading this curiosity-driven research to success. 🫡
Check out our paper (and Ian's explainer) below! 👇

We’ve known about tolerant CD8+ T cells for >25 yrs – but what are these cells?! Prematurely exhausted, stalled effectors, or something else?

Our latest @ImmunityCP paper takes a deep dive into this question with some unexpected results, including a link to cancer… (1/)

Last week was such a memorable experience, especially for an early career researcher like me. Thank you and congratulations to the organizers,@ImmunOctober, for holding a successful and unique immunology conference!

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

Who knew immunology and hefeweizen work so well together? 🍻👨‍🔬
Presented a short talk and poster at ImmunOctoberfest 2024 🙌, + got to hear groundbreaking research from the worlds top immunologists, all against a backdrop of art in a centuries-old German monastery!

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

Definitely an amazing 2 days of immunology! Always exciting to chat with and learn from colleagues and experts in the field. 🧑‍🔬🙌 Thank you to @ImmunoGroupVic for organising this awesome meeting and giving us the chance to share some of our work.

[ASI VIC TAS branch @ImmunoGroupVic]

And that’s a wrap! A phenomenal two days of science data and discussion. A big congrats to our best oral and poster presentation winners! Some amazing work being done in Victorian and Tasmanian immunology, already can’t wait for next year 💉🥼🧫

The productivity of elite scientists is largely explained by #collaboration with graduate students and postdocs at more prestigious institutions rather than inherent differences in talent (according to a study of 78,802 tenure-track faculty at 262 schools) https://t.co/dwAjxv2p2U

@MarinaYakou @ASImmunology thank you marina!! 😁

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

Had an absolute blast hearing all about the fantastic immunology at #ASI2023NZ, earlier this month. Also shared findings from my PhD and got a poster prize! 😁👨‍🔬

Huge thanks to @ASImmunology for this awesome conference and granting me a travel bursary to support my trip!

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

I carry with me a renewed sense of scientific enthusiasm and curiosity as I step into the third year of my PhD. 🫡👨‍🔬

Thank you so much to the organisers (@EMBLAustralia) for making this course a huge success! #EMBLAPhD

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

I was privileged to to have been part of the 2023 #EMBL Australia PhD Course, hosted by the @JCSMR at the Australian National University. It was an incredible two weeks of scientific discussions, profound professional growth, and awesome connections!

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

We also participated in different technical workshops, a 3MT competition and a poster session. Not to mention all the fun memories we made with new friends (and/or future collaborators!!) In Canberra!

[EMBL Australia @EMBLAustralia]

Group dinner to celebrate the end of #EMBLAPhD course! So much fun with the besties 🫶🥰

[Teresa Bonello @DrTeresaBonello]

Rounding off week 1 of the @EMBLAustralia PhD Course with pide and board games. No signs of slowing down by this bunch. Special thanks to Kyle Drover from @ArkellLab for being a fabulous Friday evening host. Great to have @DrMichelleBoyle join us!

[EMBL Australia @EMBLAustralia]

Action shots from some of our #3MT presenters. You can just tell the energy of the room was *just* unreal 🔥 ✨ #EMBLAPhD

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

@ImmunologyAAI has officially launched #ImmunologyExplained, a campaign to help explain the science of the immune system so that everyone can make informed decisions about their immune health. Stay tuned for more content in the future!

Stem-like exhausted and memory CD8 T cells are a hot topic in cancer immunology & immunotherapy. But what exactly are these cells and why do they matter?

Thomas Gebhardt, @simpak and I cover this & more in our latest review @NatureRevCancer https://t.co/Pi21NToUks

Dogs are humanity's best friend—but how long has it been that way? 🐕

This Science study investigated ancient dog genomes, revealing a complicated genetic legacy that reflects a long, shared history with humans. Learn more on #InternationalDogDay: https://t.co/nzyDVXiUwf

It's in forums like these where a more academic approach is taken to understand the Filipino experience makes me realise the notable positive impact our community (and by extension, our Filo identity) has on the spaces that we occupy.

There is so much we can offer!

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

It was such an honor and definitely an enriching experience to co-chair the organising committee for this year's International Research Forum on the Philippines (IRFP) with the theme: "Transcending Boundaries: The Filipino Diaspora in Action" (1/3)

[Christian Deo T. Deguit @cdtdeg]

An initiative by @fastcovic and @PAFLatrobe, the IRFP gathered graduate students, community leaders, and scholars to exchange ideas on the lived experiences and global contributions of the Filipino Diaspora. I also got the chance to moderate the keynote sessions and one plenary!
