An HIV vaccine can end HIV- we should just get on with it. Three decades of empirical search for a safe and effective vaccine - our strategy is now deductive and responding to what we have learnt from the empirical trials - there is hope!!! Thanks Julie McElrath #CROI2024
Happy to see our paper out in @mbiojournal on #WorldAIDSDay2023. Great work and collaboration by @gabriellelebury@Lab_AmitSinghal to explore the disparate epigenetic and transcriptomic changes in productive and latent HIV-1 infection of T cells. https://t.co/mtVl72WQs0
Phenomenal keynote lecture by Nobel Laureate Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier (@e__charpentier) to open up Day 2 of #IUIS2023!

So proud of our BRILLIANT scientists here in Msanzi @LindaGailBekker and team for taking our South African science to the next level!
Great start to #cshlimmune Gene expression and signalling in the immune system conference @cshlmeetings. Great kickstart by @golnaz_v ,intersting talk on epigenetic regulation in macrophages during viral infection by @JosefowiczLab and many others.
I stand with the women of Iran who are putting their lives on the line to protest their government in the name of #MahsaAmini. No woman should have to fear retaliation, imprisonment or death for making choices about what they wear or how they present themselves to the world.
Reminder - recognise lots of data constantly: single dose J and J shown to have 85%reduction of severe disease and death even in the face of beta variant. Lab data supports better immunogenicity of jnj against delta than beta. So good news!

Very happy to share our just published online paper on IRF1-IRF4 Toggle-Switch controlling human LC behaviour. @JamesDaviesSci not only identifies the switch, but shows its working at different body sites, fine-tuning immune responses to tissue context. https://t.co/UIbXsuLjBO
