Fantastic to see so many immunologists at the #ECI2024, and the drummers at the opening ceremony were brilliant! Looking forward to a packed programme over the next few days. Our work will be represented on posters by @HannahBollons and @fell_ruby on Wednesday.
🎉 The wait is over, #ECI2024 is officially underway! Stay tuned for exclusive updates, insights, and highlights from the congress as we work together to shape the future of #immunology🌎🔬 #Dublin #ScientificInnovation
Summer outing to the lovely @unibirmingham @winterbournehg
Congratulations Taylor!

Thank you to the @BloodCancer_Res team for visiting @unibirmingham @ImmunologyUoB @IcgsUob this week. It was a real pleasure to meet you, to discuss our Blood Cancer UK funded work, and discuss how we can all work together to fight blood cancer.
We've had a great day @unibirmingham meeting blood cancer researchers, hearing about the exciting progress being made in @bloodcancer_uk funded research and discussing how we can work together to develop kinder, more effective treatments for blood cancer patients
@BloodCancer_Res @unibirmingham @bloodcancer_uk @rich_e_f @rubina1402 @SarahDimeloeLab @CRCTU @sandeeppotluri3 @kearns_pam @unibirm_MDS @HPVsupergroup Thank you all for coming. It was a real pleasure to meet you, discuss our Blood Cancer UK funded work and hear about the fantastic plans for the future at @BloodCancer_Res!
Researchers at @unibirmingham have uncovered a potential link between the #EpsteinBarr virus and #MultipleSclerosis (MS). 20 years of mounting evidence now shows a link between the two, where the virus may trigger MS via brain cross-reactivity. ➡️bit.ly/4eiCZmu
Congratulations to our PhD student, @HannahBollons, for winning a poster prize at the @BSI_immunomet!
Fantastic two days at @BSI_immunomet in Newcastle, with so many interesting talks and discussions! Also very proud to receive a prize for my poster presentation! #UKImmunoMet24
Excellent first day at @BSI_TumourImm. Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!
Amazing first day at #TumourMicroenvironment24!! Thanks everyone who has contributed throughout the day, next up, the evening!! 🥳 @bsicongress @britsocimm
Wishing all the amazing #WomenInImmunology a great #InternationalWomensDay! We want to celebrate women's contributions to #immunology by shining a spotlight on the diverse & inspiring careers of some of our #BSIcommittee members 🤩 Read their profiles 👉bit.ly/49yHN4a
@HanJackson22 @Edgar_lab_UK @ISEV_Journals You're welcome Hannah, it was a pleasure to host you in our lab. All the best!
Fantastic to work with @Edgar_lab_UK, @HanJackson22 and collaborators on this excellent study published in #JEV @ISEV_Journals doi.org/10.1002/jev2.1…, demonstrating the ability of bioengineered exosomes to deliver multiple antigens and stimulate potent immune responses.
Bioengineered small extracellular vesicles can co-administer antigenic fragments – published in #JEV @ISEV_Journals doi.org/10.1002/jev2.1… Huge congratulations to @HanJackson22 for driving this project. Thanks to colleagues including @LongLabGroup, @Thav_Lab Overview below;
Sad to hear of the passing of Prof Sir Tony Epstein, discoverer the first human tumour virus, EBV, which is the focus of my group. Such a privilege to meet him and hear him speak at the 50th anniversary of the discovery of EBV in 2014. What an inspiration. thetimes.co.uk/article/profes…
Wanting a New Year activity? Our fantastic new CPD course on Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy, led by @ProfBenW and Dr Fiyaz Mohammed, is starting on 24th January. Follow the links for further information. @ImmunologyUoB, @unibirmingham, @britsocimm.
Want to get up to speed with immune checkpoint blockade therapy for cancer ? Register now for this online 13-hour CPD course ‘Understanding immune checkpoint blockade therapy: a pillar of modern cancer treatment’, from the University of Birmingham, UK, starting on Jan 24th, 2024.
Fantastic selection of PhD opportunities available through the MRC AIM DTP for 2024:
🚨We are delighted to announce that recruitment for 2024 studentships is now open! Projects are across the 3 partner institutions @unibirmingham @uniofleicester and @UniofNottingham Application forms and information are available on the AIM website tinyurl.com/3x4zj3zk 🧵
Very proud of our PhD students, @HannahBollons and @fell_ruby for both winning poster prizes at the @ImmunologyUoB Institute Away Day. Well done!
Great to have the opportunity to present our PTLD study at the @ImmunologyUoB Away Day today. An excellent day of talks, posters and networking!
What a fantastic paper - this will be in every Immunology class I give for a long time.
