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…

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…

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.

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.

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 Hannah Bollons and Ruby Fell on Wednesday.
