Super excited to finally share our @NatImmunol paper “Effector and stem-like memory cell fates are imprinted in distinct lymph node niches directed by CXCR3 ligands” from @WEHI_research! nature.com/articles/s41590-0… Thread with details below:

.@benjbroom, Groom et al. show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation and cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells hubs.la/Q03b6ykm0

Last session on adaptive immunity and therapeutics @The_VIIN
Starting with @BrigDoesScience @WEHI_research tracking the #memory #TCELL 🔬
Fantastic work with beautiful images of #TCELL as always from @groomlab ❤️

@BrigDoesScience from @WEHI_research kicked off the last oral presentation session of the day 🙌 Sharing a great story investigating where memory CD8+ T cells and their friends "hang out" in the lymph node using a mouse model @The_VIIN #YoungVIIN #VIINYIS

1/ 🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨Our new paper, led by @ObersAndreas & @maxevrard, is now live in @ImmunityCP! 🧬 Curious how CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) adopt their fate in different organs? Let’s dive in! 🧵👇

Thank you so much to @EFIS_Immunology for the opportunity to present my work at #ECIS2024! It was a privilege to give my first international talk at such a fantastic meeting.
Thank you also to @WEHI_Postdocs for the travel award to help send me to Dublin! 🇮🇪🍀

Guys! I've opened my independent research lab 🎊
Incredibly excited to stress out a bunch of cells and see what cytokines they make 🔬👩🏻🔬🧫
And delighted that I'll be working with so many of my #Inflammation research hero's @Hudson_Research

Fabulous to see this stellar research (and researcher!) recognized internationally by the @CytokineSociety 👏🏼👏🏼
A huge honour to be awarded the ICIS-Pfizer Junior Investigator Award for Most Promising Research Presentation. Can’t wait to share my science at the ICIS Cytokines 2024 conference in Seoul in October!

Thrilled to have this story out online @ImmunityCP!! Together with @SunLab_Official, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…
