On 7 Sept, we hosted our annual Researcher Symposium - an insightful day of knowledge-sharing and inspiring stories by some of the brightest minds in cancer research & inspiring cancer survivors. 🔽✨ Read our recap: bit.ly/46lBgro #WorldCancerResearchDay

🐾BEST DAY

The most wonderful host Ajith Vasanthakumar! An amazing team of scientists at ONJ Cancer Research Institute - thank you so much for having me!!! 👩‍🔬 #TeamTrm

Go team!!! Congrats to all on this cool study!!

Woohooo GO LAURA! 🤩

Breakthrough research has revealed new ways to remove immune cells that cause skin autoimmune diseases without affecting protective cells that fight infection & cancer. doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… Mackay Lab Simone Park Susan Christo UniMelb MDHS The Royal Melbourne Hospital Belkaid Lab NIH Science Magazine

❄️It's here!! 🤩 Our work on pathways that drive distinct skin TRM is out today in Science Magazine!!! This is more than 'just a paper' - it was the opportunity to work with great scientists around the world & ofc, with bestie Simone Park 🥰 Huge thanks to all #TeamTrm Mackay Lab ✨

As the saying goes, friends that scRNAseq together, stay together 😂😂 this really was an amazing project to work on and I'm so grateful it was with you Simone Park !! what a fun ride 🎢

We 💜chatting science! Today @ 11am tune in to Dr Shane Huntington OAM on Einstein A Go Go 3rrrfm to hear about TRM cells!

This was so fun!! Thank you so much for having me Dr Shane! 💫

Great chat with Simone Park! Listen here to learn more about the study, and the "what's next?" with the work! 🥳

Incredible! Congrats to all!

Excited to share our research that describes a variety of mechanisms that CD4+ T cells can employ to target melanoma!

Delighted to share my first senior author paper published in ICB - the journal with hlhorsnell and Scott Mueller that describes a role for the TF SpiB in lymph node fibroblastic reticular cells and CD8 T cell responses doi.org/10.1111/imcb.1… Doherty Institute

Killer T cell targets for understudied #influenzaB viruses are in short supply. Our study in Nature Communications describes new targets & how responses change across human life & tissues – a🧵⬇ nature.com/articles/s4146… @Tejas_the_Tcell Carolien van de Sandt Katherine Kedzierska Doherty Institute (1/15)

VERY grateful for the opportunity to continue our exciting work on Trm! Congrats to all around Australia and Doherty, and a special thank you to Mackay Lab 🥰

Did you know that the concept of tissue-resident lymphocytes was suggested 20 years ago? Look how far Trm have come!! 🤩 Read all about these bold and beautiful cells in our latest Annual Reviews review 📖🌟

Sharing our latest work Journal of Experimental Medicine! We've uncovered that P2RX7 regulates unconventional T cells selectively, particularly subsets that co-produce IFN-γ & IL-4. Hoping this helps more discoveries in the role of these innate-like cells, using inhibitors from the P2RX7/ARTC2 field!
