Anyone else prepped for some bedroom bioinformatics tomorrow? And the next day, and the next day....... 😅 Stay home, stay healthy guys! #AloneTogether #COVID19Aus #AcademicTwitter

Holding my breath to see if I will be allowed out through closed Aus boarders in 3 wks to start my first postdoc at Cambridge University Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease 😁. Beyond excited for a new adventure!! Now can my flights stop getting cancelled...

So gratifying to see our work characterising the blood T cell receptor repertoire of ankylosing spondylitis patients published in ACR_Journals! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Infinite thanks to co-authors and contributors at @qut_ihbi, UQ Medicine, @unimelb and Translational Research Institute. #immunology

Starting a Cambridge University postdoc on the other side of the planet mid-pandemic was worth the uncertainty to join the team behind this cracker of a collaboration. An extensive investigation of the immune response to SARS-CoV2 now published in Immunity ! doi.org/10.1016/j.immu…

What a fantastic day celebrating the achievements and variety of postdoc research at Cambridge University! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the first PdOC Research Showcase and many congrats to the 4 session winners! Postdocs of Cambridge (PdOC) @Postdoc_Academy #PdOC_showcase21

Two and a half years post PhD graduation and the last paper from my thesis is finally published in Frontiers - Genetics! HLA and NK cell receptor associations with Scleroderma and autoantibody subtypes - many thanks to all coauthors! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Was certainly a step out of my comfort zone to present work from Cambridge University on dysregulated iron homeostasis in #COVID19 to so many #iron experts! But what a wonderful group of people and such a fantastic event. European Iron Club 2022 I've learnt so much!

"We alone query and question, We alone, despite how small, And so it goes that unto us The cost of knowledge rightly falls" Just putting this here for a Friday - a reminder that the beauty we see through the lens of science is worth the toll of it all. Poem by my sister.

Ironing out long-COVID... the result of a mammoth, years-long collaborative effort between Cambridge University and The Drakesmith Lab investigating the link between iron dysregulation during COVID-19 and long-COVID is out today in Nature Immunology nature.com/articles/s4159… Check it out!

Delighted to help out on this in-depth analysis of early drivers of Long-Covid, heroically led by Aimee Hanson Iron is needed for so many biological activities, when it’s in the wrong place it can cause big problems- phenomenon may not be limited to SARS-CoV-2

Published in Nature Immunology research finds that low iron levels resulting from infection could be key trigger of long COVID Congratulations to Aimee Hanson, The Drakesmith Lab & colleagues at #CITIID Cambridge University | MRC WIMM | University of Bristol | WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) go.nature.com/3wCLCXs

Awesome to have experts Oriana Marques & Martina Muckenthaler weigh in on our (Ken Smith Cambridge University, Aimee Hanson, Paul Lyons, The Drakesmith Lab, others!) work on iron homeostasis, anemia of inflammation & long COVID. nature.com/articles/s4159… preview below:

Scientists Medicine at Cambridge have found a key trigger for #LongCovid. COVID-19 caused problems with how the body regulates iron early on in infection – and those who went on to develop long COVID took a very long time to recover. NIHR BioResource bit.ly/49YA13c

New analysis from the The Royal Society shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries. Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5
