George's research explores many avenues of lupus pathogenesis, from detailed immune profiles, to immunological sex bias in disease risk, and metabolic contributions to co-morbidities. His enthusiastic group and amazing collaborations have enabled these cross-disciplinary questions to be explored 🥼🔬

As part of Lizzy’s research @bcellsrosser.bsky.social, she is also interested in how B cells drive different clinical features in childhood arthritis including uveitis 👁️ development. The basis of her @thelisterinstitute.bsky.social research prize 🏆 see her alongside the other winners last year ⬇️

@dianaematei.bsky.social favourite thing to do in the lab is histology of whole tissue slices and is pretty good at it! See her prize winning ‘Go Big or Go Home: illuminating germinal centre expansion in experimental lupus’ from a @britsocimm.bsky.social visualising immunology conference below 👇
