This International Women's Day, we celebrate the leadership of women fighting for human rights in the global HIV response, yet we must reinvigorate our efforts to protect the rights of women & girls which are threatened around the world. #IWD The Lancet thelancet.com/journals/lanhi…

Excited to share my postdoc work out in Nature Chemical Biology! We explored the preferences and efficiencies of ATP pathways in cells and tissues. By quantifying metabolic flux and proteomics, we found that respiration makes ATP faster per enzyme mass than glycolysis🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…

Skewed repertoire of cytokine unresponsive FcRγ– memory-like NK cells & overall increase in NK surface expression of CD57 and KLRG1 persists in people living with HIV despite long-term ART The Mailliard Lab The Journal of Immunology doi.org/10.4049/jimmun…


In this Perspective in Nature Rev Immunol, we discuss strategies to confer cell-intrinsic, immune-evasive properties to allogeneic T cells and NK cells in order to prevent or delay their immune rejection Precision Immunotherapy Alliance, UiO - Det medisinske fakultet Oslounivsykehus Center for Infectious Medicine rdcu.be/dFBAM

👀 This week Aljawharah & #preprinthub2 discussed a #preprint from Guadalupe Suárez Institut Curie on how the histone methyltransferase #SUV39H1 controls CD8+ T cell tissue homing and tissue resident memory T cell precursors 😦🧬💥 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


👏🏻👏🏻Huge congratulations to Dr Helena Arellano-Ballestero Helena Arellano-Ballestero successfully defending her PhD on tumour primed memory NK cells🎉. It has been a joy and a privilege to co-supervise you with the amazing Mark Lowdell! Many thanks to Hugh Brady and Salim Khakoo for examining. 😊

Happy to share the final work from my post-doc with MalmbergLab published in Cell Stem Cell today cell.com/cell-stem-cell… extensive 15-post-🧵 below

Excited to share our manuscript published in Science Translational Medicine, where we describe a novel NK immune evasion strategy in AML. We found that #BATF is a key transcription factor driving epigenetic reprogramming in NK cells in AML. This TF is induced by the canonical TGF-β/SMAD pathway and
