Delighted to be awarded this prize for my oral presentation at the 1st European Immunometabolism Conference in Denmark! Huge thanks to the organisers and sponsors for putting on a great meeting, looking forward to the next one already 😃 European ImmunoMetabolism Network Lydia Lynch



📢 We are looking for an enthusiastic new Postdoc to join our Lab in Trinity College Dublin! If u are interested in Immunology, Immunometabolism or Autoimmunity please get in touch ! Flexible start date 📆 RTs very much appreciated ! my.corehr.com/pls/trrecruit/… TCD Biochem & Immuno TCD TBSI


Newly published #TrinityResearch from the Basdeo Lab at St James's Hospital provides a foundation for further exploration of #NKcells in the development of future treatments & therapies for a range of lung diseases, incl #COPD & #cancer. Read more ⬇️: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…


Today was the "soft-launch" of our media campaign to get all Irish health insurers fund cancer immunotherapy #FundImmuno . I have been overwhelmed with the support (over 5000 shares in a day, just on LinkedIn). Thank you. Laya Healthcare do us right!



Check out the comments of Karen Slattery @DavidFinlayTCD and Professor Phillip K. Darcy on this paper “La dolce vita: fueling chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with Glut1 to improve therapeutic efficacy” journals.lww.com/immunometaboli…


Check out our new commentary on this interesting study by Justin A. Guerrero and team on Glut1 overexpressing CAR T cells. Excited to see what comes next for these metabolically enhanced T cells!

Congratulations to Karen Slattery on wining the translational research award for her work on ovarian cancer and ascites suppression of immunity via lipid remodelling. Well done Karen! And thank you to Irish Cancer Society and Donal Brennan and Marcia Haigis in this collaboration

Our paper Science Immunology shows certain lipids are responsible for the immunosupression of ascites & propose blocking lipid uptake thru SCARB1 may help immunotherapy success in ovarian cancer. Wonderful to collaborate with Donal Brennan again, Marcia Haigis & super postdoc Karen Slattery

Scientists have uncovered how abdominal fluid called ascites in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer suppresses antitumor cytotoxicity in natural killer cells. Learn more in Science Immunology: scim.ag/4iXrKB1
