We have an exciting program for this year's #DayOfImmunology!
In Melbourne, we will hear from expert researchers about the brain and immunity, then several institutes will host discovery tours revealing the behind-the-scenes action.
Register now! https://t.co/wme0d1FAoN
Several institutes will open their doors in a rare opportunity to see behind the scenes and chat with immunologists. Dates from April 29th to May 15th.
Hear the latest news about vaccines, cancer treatments, viruses, immune diseases and more!

#Asthma is a complex chronic disease marked by persistent airway inflammation and remains a significant global health concern, affecting over 350 million people worldwide. Despite advancements in understanding its pathophysiology and treatment options, asthma remains a heterogeneous condition with diverse underlying mechanisms, requiring personalized approaches to management. The interplay of immune responses, environmental exposures, and genetic predisposition contributes to disease variability, making it crucial to explore novel biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and diagnostic tools.
In this issue, Domingo et al., discuss the indirect and direct roles of IgE on airway epithelial cells, with a focus on allergic asthma. Abdu and Xia et al. study the IL-25/IL-17RB pathway as a potential therapeutic target for type 2 inflammatory disorders. Soendergaard et al. categorise patients based on their fractional exhaled nitric oxide response to anti-IL-5 biologics and evaluate the association of these categories with clinical outcomes. Pacheco Da Silva et al. identify exposure profiles for the long-term weekly use of disinfectants and cleaning products by latent class analysis and assess their associations with asthma. Slob et al. investigate whether genotype-guided treatment improves asthma-related outcomes. Doyen and Migueres et al. compare the accuracies of the changes in fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentrations and sputum eosinophil counts in identifying asthmatic reactions induced by occupational agents during specific inhalation challenges. Daud et al. evaluate the role of WNT5a and TGF-β1 in asthmatic airway biopsies and in sputum and bronchial brushings assessed their role in remodelling. Hillson et al. assess the feasibility of point-of-care eosinophil measurements in preschool wheezers and related blood eosinophil counts to symptoms, lung function, and utility in predicting attacks. Hsin et al. assess the diagnostic performance and clinical utility of a single flow cytometry staining of basophils with major aeroallergen components. Martin-Gonzalez et al. identify whole blood DNA methylation markers associated with asthma exacerbations in Europeans. Bilò et al. identify real-world clusters of patients with severe asthma, based on baseline levels of biomarkers, and to understand their predictive role in response to biologics. Hsu et al. investigate the role of CD53 in mast cell responses and rype 2 inflammation. Michils et al. evaluate whether the improvement in FEV1 or the persistence of its deterioration in severe eosinophilic asthma patients on anti-IL-5 is related to a distinct evolution of the mucus score. Esnault et al. investigate whether human blood eosinophils are a source of oncostatin-M and analyze associations between oncostatin-M and airway eosinophilia, lung function, and other mediators in asthma. Hsu et al. conduct a case-control study to evaluate the effect of the exposure to acrylamide on asthma and its phenotypes. Chen et al. evaluate the changes in the features of allergic airway inflammation upon exposure to particulate matter 2.5. Sanchez-Torralvo and Testera-Montes et al. present an algorithm for organ-specific allergen challenges for the phenotyping of chronic respiratory diseases.

I have to admit it was not easy for me to start the talk as memories kept flashing back. I am truly lucky to be supported by our wonderful ACI lab and such an amazing bunch in this department!🫶☺️
A huge congratulations to @HsinKathy on her final PhD seminar! A brilliant talk on the amazing work Kathy has done in the Allergy & Clinical Immunology Lab over the last ~3 years. We look forward to supporting her on this final stretch as she writes her thesis! 📖
Come see the department at the @ASImmunology@DayofImmunology Discovery Tour.
🗓️ Thursday May 2nd, 2.30pm
Join us for a lab tour and practical demonstration, then discuss science with our enthusiastic researchers. #DayofImmunology@MonashSTM

A big shout-out to our staff and student debaters! What an absolute stress-relieving experience. Our CCS researchers can be humorous and maybe rational? Lastly, thank you to all participants! Hope you enjoyed the symposium as much as we did. See you again at CGRS2024! #CGRS2023
Last Friday we assembled at the Alfred Hub, got enlightened by our engaging keynote @gdstewart82 and chew&chat speakers. More importantly, we spent a wonderful day connecting and celebrating any achievement. We would love to gain your feedback to make it even better! #CGRS2023
Congrats to all oral and poster speakers for sharing your research on the stage! It has been a truly inspiring event with all your contributions. Well done to the winners and supporting labs! We want to see how our presenters progress and more new faces next year😊#CGRS2023
Last day to register for the annual GR Student Symposium. Come to hear about some excellent research from our young scientists. Also, the return of the Student vs Staff Great Debate will only be another highlight of the day🌟 We cannot wait to see you all there!
Only 3 more days until the abstract submission deadline! Take advantage of the opportunity to hear from our fantastic speaker @chrislangmead ! It's also a great time to gather with your peers to exchange ideas and celebrate any achievements.
