Very pleased and proud to see our work out in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… Also great to be at #HCA2023GM Toronto with Kazumasa Kanemaru as it goes live! Human Cell Atlas The preprint tweetorial lays out the key findings in detail, but here are the headlines... 1/n


Congrats Marko Nikolić from @uclrespiratory Lungs for Living on his British Thoracic Society (BTS) / British Association for Lung Research (BALR) Lecture Award!

Absolutely delighted to share our paper published today in Science Immunology in collaboration with Teichlab. Huge congratulations to amazing co-first authors Jo Barnes, Masahiro Yoshida, @PengHeCam! Team science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Check out all of our movies Science Immunology to see how we looked at immune cell tissue-residency in developing human lungs.

Differences in how the nasal cells of young and elderly people respond to the SARS-CoV-2 virus could explain why children typically experience milder #COVID19 symptoms, finds a new study led by Dr Claire Smith & Marko Nikolić UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health DoM_UCL ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/apr/…

Delighted to share our latest paper out in Nature Microbiology on age-specific nasal epithelial responses to SARS-CoV-2. nature.com/articles/s4156… Amazing team science Dr Claire Smith Teichlab UCL Wellcome Sanger Institute @uclrespiratory

How does age affect the nasal epithelial response to #SARSCoV2 infection? UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health scientists including Dr. Ana-Maria Cujba, Kaylee Worlock, and Maximillian Woodall investigated and found a number of key differences: go.nature.com/3xOPHs0


🚨 In case you missed it, we are excited to share that our work on how nasal cells from children and elderly people respond to SARS-CoV-2 has been published in Nature Microbiology . A short 🧵tweetorial on some highlights of our study ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4156…



📰 Read ‘Human SARS-CoV-2 challenge uncovers local and systemic response dynamics’ with Wellcome Sanger Institute @Teichlab UCL Marko Nikolić Kaylee Worlock The Netherlands Cancer Institute Human Cell Atlas in nature ⤵️ nature.com/articles/s4158…


Extremely talented co-first authors Rik Lindeboom from Teichlab and Kaylee Worlock from my lab UCL. We describe novel immune responses locally in the nasopharynx and systemically in blood in 3 distinct infection groups: sustained, transient and abortive. Check out our summary:



High levels of a key gene in volunteers who managed to fight off infection quickly suggests it has a protective effect against SARS-CoV-2, finds a new study involving Marko Nikolić & Kaylee Worlock DoM_UCL UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences with Wellcome Sanger Institute ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jun/…

Why did some people get Covid while others didn't? UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences's Dr Marko Nikolic and Kaylee Worlock analyse their recent research which revealed the genetic markers that protected some people from Covid-19 infection. Read more 👇 bit.ly/4eJ3QrU

Huge congratulations to our RTI 2025 Rising Stars! Here are our two deserving winners - Kaylee Worlock and Helen Gavillet. Very well done to you both. #RTI2025 #RespiratoryResearch #MedicalConference


🥼Today we’re celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We’re proud to support #WomenInScience as well as promoting the need for equal access to education, training and career development. Here Kaylee Worlock shares what a day in the life looks like at @UCL
