Programme Leader @malaghan.bsky.social & Associate Group Leader @babrahaminst.bsky.social, working on germinal centres, vaccines and tertiary lymphoid structures.
It was great to be back at the @babrahaminst.bsky.social this week to spend time with the team talking about our science, and even managed a (very well timed) paper celebration! Amazing Tfh/GC themed brownie from Jess James.

Fantastic @embo.org young investigator lecture on lung B cell responses from @maurogaya.bsky.social #EMBObarrierTissues

Absolutely fantastic to have @labliston.bsky.social visiting the @malaghan.bsky.social this week. Beautiful talk on harnessing the power of Tregs to promote tissue repair, as well as many scientific discussions, an award ceremony at @nzparliament.bsky.social and multiple runs up our hills!

Fantastic to have Johanne Jacobsen at @malaghan.bsky.social this week presenting her beautiful work on germinal centre T cells, in all their complexity.

Finally, after moving halfway across the world to beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand, our (Italian) espresso machine has arrived. Even better that we can get tasty beans from Acme who also make a special @malaghan.bsky.social blend that supports our research ❤️ lnkd.in/gbWi6RuW

From analysis of clones from the lung and the lymph node, it was clear that lung B cells may directly seed local lung memory B cell responses, which @smguillaume.bsky.social was able to show in vivo by blocking lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes with FTY720.

@smguillaume.bsky.social and Grant Kennedy worked together to show that lung germinal centre B cells are largely clonally distinct from those in lymph nodes.

@smguillaume.bsky.social used single cell sequencing to show that after NP-KLH/house dust mite treatment, lung germinal centre B cells were able to acquire high affinity B cells, although this was not as fast as in the lymph node germinal centres.

Lung germinal centres are smaller and less densely packed with cells that those in lymph nodes, but despite this @sanmarti92.bsky.social @smguillaume.bsky.social and @wsfoster.bsky.social were able to show they still showed light and dark zone polarisation.

Great to have our latest review "The cellular factors that impair the germinal center in advanced age" out @jimmunol.bsky.social.

Work led by @wsfoster.bsky.social and Edith Marcial-Juárez. With @sanmarti92.bsky.social creating the beautiful GC images in figure 2.

So satisfying to see the final version of this thesis. Well done @smguillaume.bsky.social it's been such a pleasure to work together ❤️

Too busy talking! But here is a non-selfie of my new Basel friends 😉

Looking forward to this exciting meeting next August #EMBOTissueImmunity
Big thanks to @immunologyking.bsky.social & @maurogaya.bsky.social for organising!

It's a good day when a @babrahaminst.bsky.social colleague drops these beauties off to my office. Thanks Mahrukh!

Thanks for a great day at UMASS. Lots of fantastic science.

Thanks for the great science IFReC & CiDER. I learnt a lot!

Loving being in Osaka, and the science hasn't even started yet! 14th international Symposium of IFReC.

In 1972 Gutman & Weissman were the first to report T cell staining in mouse lymph node germinal centres

Amazing leaving gift for the lab from Emily Watson, as she embarks on her PhD @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social. Embroidery germinal centres inspired by a "spleen galaxy" image from Isabel San Martín Molina.
