Incredibly excited to share my final project from Monash which was recently published in @jimmunol.bsky.social! Together with Jesse Mulder from the Robinson Group @robinsonmj.bsky.social, we found a role for IL-21 in allergy responses by promoting type 2 memory B cell formation. Check it out !👇🏼

IL-21 contributes to type 2 memory B cell formation
Abstract. Type 2 memory B cells (mBC2), identified in mice as IgG1+CD23+IL-4Rα+CD38+ B cells, which require IL-4 for genesis, are precursors for IgE plasma

I'm incredibly excited to share my Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) program, developed as part of the TOP 5 Science Program!
Have a listen to the episode below, where I chat with Belinda Smith about all things needle-free vaccines

I’m thrilled to announce that last month I moved to the UK and started my postdoc at Imperial College!

Very excited for this next chapter and to be working with Dr Ryan Thwaites as we investigate immunity in the nose to influenza!

What an opportunity! I couldn’t recommend this anymore highly to any ECRs looking for a great job with a great PI! Some very exciting work being done in Danika’s lab- plus check out that view from our tearoom 😎
I’ll take this opportunity to announce that I’ll have multiple postdoc positions opening early next year.

Come join us in Melbourne! 🇦🇺🐨🦘
