Welcome to the @UniofOxford iron lab! Based in the @MRC_WIMM @MRC_TIDU we research the involvement of iron in immunity and pathogenesis.

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

A long time ago my first and formative research experience was with Hironori Funabiki in Kyoto. He was absolutely marvellous then and he still is today, in a London pub. And now he likes iron, a bit. Thank you Hiro!

Two new contributions from us: Megan Teh on the wild metabolism of CD8 T-cells in iron deficiency and why they love aspartate; and the current landscape of the strong influence of iron on immunity in general, with Joe Frost nature.com/articles/s4157… nature.com/articles/s4146…
