Researchers in the Department of Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology (MCBI) perform fundamental and preclinical research in the field of Cancer, Neuro and Mucosal Immunology at the
Amsterdam UMC.
Congratulations to MCBI postdoc Sofia Ibáñez-Molero (and co-authors) for publishing in @nature.com her cluster method developed during her PhD at @nkinl.bsky.social in @peeperlab.bsky.social. By always excluding doublets in glow cytometry you might exclude some gems.. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Tumour-reactive heterotypic CD8 T cell clusters from clinical samples - Nature
Tumour-reactive CD8+ T cells are enriched in functional clusters with tumour cells and/or antigen-presenting cells and can be isolated and expanded from clinical samples.

Today marks the 44th anniversary of the publication in the MMWR of a new syndrome that we now know as AIDS www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview... (MMWR 1981;30:250--2). Much progress since then but much remains to be done.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary
