How low blood oxygen can affect your body's immune defences 🛡️

A new study reveals that neutrophils have their genetic material modified by hypoxia and how the BCG vaccine may reverse this immune response.

Hot off the press, after years of work by many PG and undergrads and collaborators, we present you wilth a detailed analysis of oncogenic RAS driven cellular plasticity and host immune response within 24 hours of oncogene activation in a #zebrafish model www.cell.com/cell-reports...

I am advertising for a #postdoc for a 3 year BBSRC-funded project exploring the role of macrophages in salivary gland development. The successful candidate will be based at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social at @uni-of-edinburgh.bsky.social. Closing date: 9th Oct. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

📣Job Opportunity: We are looking for a Bioinformatician to study cellular responses to injury and ageing using integrated single-cell, spatial and proteomic technologies.

IRR researchers and colleagues discover that the common childhood virus, RSV, leaves lasting ‘immune memory’ in lungs.

Proteins that help fight infection (MHCs) stay elevated, boosting protection for subsequent infections but also increases the risk of allergies.

I am recruiting for a postdoc that wants to work on an exciting project on gut macrophages, TGFb signalling, and colon cancer! Please see the link for details - elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Super proud that my PhD paper is finally out! doi.org/10.1111/all.... RSV leaves long-lasting marks on the lung, potentially boosting future immune responses but also contributing to allergen sensitisation.

I'll soon be advertising for a 3 year postdoc to join our lab at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social exploring #macrophages in salivary gland #development. Candidates should have a strong background in immunology/macrophage biology and/or developmental biology & key skills as below. Informal enquiries welcome!

Super happy to get this doi.org/10.1128/cmr.... #review out on long-term effects of respiratory viruses on lung epithelial cells!

Please join us for the summer EIG mini symposium on Tuesday 17th of June. The session starts at 13:30 in @edinuni-irr.bsky.social IRR South seminar room 1.05 with talks by Prof Simon Graham, Dr Kate Sutton and Prof Christoph Scheiermann. See you there!

The spring EIG session is coming this Thursday on 1st of May. Please join us from 13:30 in @edinuni-irr.bsky.social IRR South seminar room 1.05 for fantastic talks by Dr. Elizabeth Mann, Dr. Tovah Shaw and Prof. Hamida Hammad. See you there!

If you're looking for a PhD studentship, we have an exciting opportunity to study why some cells live longer than others. Results could help design better cell-based therapies. #EASTBIO #macrophages
