Dear network, I am starting my research group in Turku, Finland (09/2023). We will be studying #lysosomes and #extracellularvesicles in B cell lymphomas. Now looking for a PhD student, preferably someone with an eye on EVs and microscopes! If you know anyone interested, pls share

Two-day Finnish-Japanese Immunology Symposium at BioCity Turku is well under way. InFLAMES researcher Akira Takeda talks about human lymphatic endothelial cell heterogeneity. Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Åbo Akademi University TurkuBioscience Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland

Finally, the day has come for the long-awaited Finnish-Japanese Immunology Symposium! Akira Takeda brilliantly presented the group's immunological projects 🧪 Huge thanks to co-organizer Riitta Lahesmaa Lahesmaa Group for making this event a huge success 🇯🇵🇫🇮 InFLAMES Flagship

Grateful for the valuable 1-month experience as an assistant in the Head & Neck Surgery department at Turku University Hospital, Finland! Impressed by the skills of the doctors and nurses! Thankful for being a part of life-changing operations and the opportunity to learn. 😊

Thrilled to share our research at #IUIS2023 in beautiful South Africa! 🇿🇦🌍 Grateful for the enriching remarks and collaboration opportunities. All thanks to Finnish Society for Immunology for the grant support and of course to Turun yliopisto - University of Turku and InFLAMES Flagship for being my scientific harbor.

Hanging out at the electron microscope with my supervisor while he’s getting pictures of his samples. A very graceful dendritic cell was spotted 😍 looks like a fish to me :)

Great opportunity to do PhD in Finland! Fully founded positions available!

Finally presented my Msc Thesis focused on macrophages in tumour draining lymph nodes! grateful to my amazingly supportive supervisor Akira Takeda and lab members Diana Lehotina

Congratulations to Nora Alnusairat on her master’s thesis defense! See you soon as a doctoral student in the Takeda laboratory! 🤩 Nora Alnus. 🇵🇸

I’m passionate about teaching, and I hope the students in the Immunohistochemistry course by InFLAMES Flagship could feel it! Big thanks to Sadaf for being the one who taught me the technique. Let's keep science moving forward through teaching!

☀️Chasing science & sunshine at the 52nd ASI Meeting in Sydney! Eye-opening experience with amazing speakers. 😍 Huge thanks to Fenna Feenstra for connecting me to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute! A+ experience — felt like a kid in a candy store! 😂🍬 #ASI2024

🔔 New Pre-print! 🔔 We’ve profiled lymphatic vasculatures in lymph nodes from breast cancer patients using scRNA-seq. LN metastases dramatically reshape these vasculatures, generating abnormal subsets, and further promoting cancer metastases!

Introducing Akira Takeda, Principal Investigator at the University of Turku! His research on myeloid cells and lymph nodes explores tumor immunity. At #IUIS2025, Akira will present on dendritic cells and their role in cancer immunity. 👉 Register now: loom.ly/CwagY2g
