Immunologist at University of Edinburgh working in B and T cells in infection (malaria) and autoimmunity (rheumatoid arthritis). I use NGS, computational biology, single cell approaches and Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire seq👨🏻💻🧬🦠🧫
Why do B cells make (more) cochlin in RA, SLE and Sjogrens? A really interesting preprint, from @beccabelmonte.bsky.social and Mohini Gray at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Cochlin-Expressing Memory B (COMB) Cells Are Enriched in Autoimmune Diseases and Display a Distinct Activation Profile
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic autoimmune arthritis, causing joint damage and affecting multiple organs over time. B cells play a key role in driving the disease by producing aut...

Really enjoyed reading this preprint from Emma Davenport and Marina Botto’s labs. scRNAseq + AIRR of rituximab treatment in SLE - www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Single-cell level characterization of B cell depletion and repopulation following rituximab in systemic lupus erythematosus
Objective Rituximab, a CD20+ B cell depletion therapy, is frequently used in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, variability in patient response highlights the need for a dee...

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.

Our new publication on BCR sequencing in ME/CFS, adding to the evidence of an increased usage of IGHV3-30.
Much more immunological research is needed to understand the many lines of evidence indicating immune-mediated or autoimmune components to the disease.

It’s wonderful to be at the University of Glasgow today to examine a viva. I think the last time I was here was 18 years ago for my own.

Having a day back in the lab expressing antibodies in Expi293 cells. Very excited to use my new 3d printed flask holder- much better than the old sticky mat!

Inspired by @rodrahimi.bsky.social 's noble efforts linking immunologists together over here, let's try and get more specifically TCR/BCR/AIRR/repertoire chat going with this starter park

Drop me a beep to get added or suggest others!
