McGeachy Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine discusses new work from McClure et al. Grainger&Konkel Labs @Hepworth_Lab (hubs.la/Q02H5bK50) on a model of periodontitis that shows location-dependent divergence in Th17 plasticity, with limited conversion in inflamed gingiva. hubs.la/Q02H5fnk0

🚨 Chevening Scholarship applications are open until 5 Nov 2024 for those interested in undertaking a master's course in the UK. If you're eligible and interested in applying to work with us, please get in touch. chevening.org/scholarships/ 🚨

We have two opportunities for new PhD students to join the lab! If you want to do a PhD in mucosal immunology in a great division please get in touch. Projects with Madhvi Menon Fiona J. Whelan - details below. findaphd.com/phds/project/m… findaphd.com/phds/project/m… Deadline is soon 15/11/24!

Check out this 🚨PhD opportunity🚨 to study the impact of B cells on host-commensal #microbiome interactions in the oral mucosa led by Grainger&Konkel Labs with me & Madhvi Menon !

Congratulations to NIDCR’s Dr. Niki Moutsopoulos for being elected to National Academy of Medicine! Her research advances the understanding and treatment of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. nam.edu/national-acade…

Incredibly honored and elated to receive a Vetenskapsrådet Starting Grant! This support paves the way for me to establish my lab at Karolinska Institutet in 2025. We’ll mechanistically explore physiological circuits within the #OralGut axis in both mice and humans. Stay tuned!

🚨 The Whelan lab is hiring! 🚨 We are looking for a PDRA to join our lab at U of Manchester. We & collab The Mata Lab are seeking someone interested in interdisciplinary techniques to est a hydrogel biofilm model to study microbe-pathogen interactions jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

If you're looking for a PhD studentship, we have an exciting opportunity to study why some cells live longer than others. Results could help design better cell-based therapies. #EASTBIO #macrophages Stephen Jenkins findaphd.com/phds/project/e…
