Very productive visit from ERC President Maria Leptin - on the same page as our Taoiseach and Minister for Science when it comes to the need for increased funding for science in Ireland and Europe and ERC independence
Back in Dublin - and what a warm welcome!

Valuable in-depth conversation with @micheal-martin.bsky.social. Thanks Taoiseach for your support!

Also much enjoyed meeting minister @LawlessJ. Glad to see we have shared priorities.

And huge thanks to Luke O’Neill!

Macrophage peroxisomes guide alveolar regeneration and limit SARS-CoV-2 tissue sequelae
Peroxisomes are vital but often overlooked metabolic organelles. We found that excessive interferon signaling remodeled macrophage peroxisomes. This loss of peroxisomes impaired inflammation resolutio...
