1/ Delighted to share our review on Genetic Defects of Brain Immunity in Childhood Herpes Simplex Encephalitis (HSE), just out nature. Our expedition began in 2003, searching for monogenic defects underlying HSE (nature.com/articles/s4158…).

Excited to share our new paper on the genetics of MIS-C doi.org/10.1084/jem.20… Journal of Experimental Medicine Evangelos Bellos Dilys Santillo

Our genetics findings in MIS-C is out Journal of Experimental Medicine. A fantastic international collaboration enabled by DIAMONDS and COVIDHGE consortia Dilys Santillo Evangelos Bellos

Scientists from the Crick and Imperial College London have identified a gene which helps explain why some children develop a severe inflammatory condition weeks after a COVID-19 infection, even if the infection itself was mild crick.ac.uk/news-and-repor…

.Journal of Experimental Medicine Dec. Issue: hubs.la/Q02ZCHTh0 Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu et al (hubs.la/Q02ZCKg10) found that certain rare genetic mutations in the BTNL8 gene are more common in children w/ MIS-C. Image shows Manhattan plot for all the constituent ancestral groups in the MIS-C cohort.

Our MIS-C paper is on the cover of Journal of Experimental Medicine December issue! Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu Evangelos Bellos

1/ One of the most intriguing enigmas of the #COVID19 pandemic was the sudden and unprecedented outbreak of chilblains that accompanied the early waves of #SARSCoV2 infections. Our new study in Journal of Experimental Medicine uncovers the underlying immunological mechanism   rupress.org/jem/article/22…

Thank you for highlighting - I learned so much in your lab and feel so lucky to have wonderful lifelong colleagues-friends to continue doing exciting science with!
