T cell responses matter during "breakthrough" SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here's new work from Mark Painter Really supports the notion that we should be trying to measure T cells as a correlate of protective immunity for SARS-CoV-2 (and maybe other) vaccines. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Well done to our PhD students Ruby Fell and Hannah Bollons for excellent talks at the Immunology and Immunotherapy Post Graduate Research Gala this week. A great event showcasing all the exciting work ongoing in the Institute.

Wanting a New Year activity? Our fantastic new CPD course on Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy, led by Ben Willcox and Dr Fiyaz Mohammed, is starting on 24th January. Follow the links for further information. Immunology and Immunotherapy, Uni of Birmingham, British Society for Immunology.


Fantastic to work with James Edgar, @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.


Excellent first day at BSI Tumour Immunology. Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!

Congratulations to our PhD student, Hannah Bollons, for winning a poster prize at the BSI Immunometabolism!

Researchers at Uni of Birmingham 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


Thank you to the Blood Cancer UK Research team for visiting Uni of Birmingham Immunology and Immunotherapy Cancer and Genomic Sciences 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.
