Udalova Lab - Genomics of Inflammation
@udalovalab.bsky.social
A research group at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology @ox.ac.uk @ndorms.bsky.social trying to understand how the inflammatory response is controlled on the molecular level

An excellent lecture in a beautiful Oxford University Museum - it has been such a pleasure to host Paul at the Kennedy!

Two external speakers, three Kennedy presenters, many interested attendants, and one AI workshop special cake!
February 13, 2025 at 5:37 PM
The first Kennedy Data Science Platform workshop "AI applications in Biomedical research" is about to start. Featuring Turing AI fellow @cwcyau from @bdi_oxford, @JoshuaABull from @OxUniMaths, and Kennedy own examples of AI use!

Shout out for @juliasalafranca and Kristina Zec for designing a new public engagement activity, which demonstrates how people with arthritis handle objects, and presenting it at Oxford science ideas festival last weekend!

A fascinating discussion on philosophical issues of science and medicine with Oceane Gustave, a Philosophy PhD student from @ecolenormalesup. Delighted that our own phylosopher Chris @arthritisbham could join in!

A beauty of neutrophils! Artistic expressions by attendants of @neutrophil2024 during coffee and lunch breaks. Guess which one was contributed by our own @AnandaMukh7422 ?
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Excellent @neutrophil2024 meeting once again! Amazing talks and posters yesterday and today! The field has definitely expanded and still growing!!

https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.08.22.609132 - check out our new preprint - discovery of Zfp263 as a key checkpoint of neutrophil development. @AbhiD23 says: “This discovery opens up new possibilities for targeting neutrophil-driven conditions, from inflammatory diseases to certain cancers."

At this year's @KirOxford retreat @DrSarahSpear presented on her research project, @juliasalafranca talked about patient involvement and public engagement (featuring @AdaLiebenau's choreographed neutrophil dance) and Irina guided us through the KIR strategy for the next few years

The Udalova lab having fun at the @KirOxford retreat's treasure hunt 🔎🔎
Among the tasks we had to find 3 ducks in Oxford, a colourful storefront (check out thr improved mannequins!) and a bus going to the airport

Just back from another @AegeanConf on Innate immunity in hot and sunny Loutraki! Reunited with old friends, made new ones, presented two stories, discussed many others, danced Greek dances, and @juliasalafranca received a trainee award! Thanks to the organisers!!
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
New Doctor in the House! Congratulations to @capyBara_bs for successfully defending her thesis and for celebrating in style! Huge thanks to @LennonLab and @arthritisbham for the enjoyable viva examination!
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Some snapshots of @AbhiD23 at #EPW2024, who presented on the novel transcriptional regulators of neutrophil maturation. Abhi found fascinating to learn all about phagocytes!
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Chairing the Innate Immunity and Signalling session at #OIS2024, a meeting showcasing the immunology research in Oxford. Catch some of the Udalova lab members at the coffee break for a chat on our neutrophil and macrophage research! @bsicongress
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
The Udalova lab has joined the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF), with @Erinke1 as our champion to make our research more sustainable!

The last day of @KeystoneSymp Myeloid cells 2024! Little snow but lots of interesting new meetings and discussions! Back from lunch in town with @SarrisLab and @Sixt_Lab. Thanks again to the organisers @AndrsHidalgo16, @DanielaQuail and @lai9uan, whom we all missed dearly!
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Final group celebration of the year... Oxford is getting ready for a break... Merry Christmas to all our friends and colleagues around the globe!
February 13, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Another year, another amazing #BSI2023! A new kid on the block - session on mechanoimmunology, chaired by Irina and @DessiMalinova. Great talks on mechanosensing by @spencerSK1 and @ActonLab, as well as our own @capyBara_bs . Watch this area becoming a mainstream in a few years!

Big welcome to @LinhNguyen160, who completed her PhD training @hkust on development and function of myeloid cells in the zebrafish brain. She now applies her stellar imaging and genomic skills to dissecting spatiotemporal neutrophil behaviour in the gut. Funded by @The_MRC

We've had some incredible discussions at #Gmeet23. One of the main highlights was the need for a more comprehensive and standardized neutrophil nomenclature. So, in her talk today, Irina suggested the use transcription factors to define neutrophil subsets.

Do not miss @OxZCoE seminar @KirOxford where our own Kristina Zec is sharing her experience in tissue clearing for LSFM microscopy - a beautiful 3D reconstruction of the whole mouse joint!
