.@benjbroom, Groom et al. show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation and cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells hubs.la/Q03b6ykm0

@BrigDoesScience from @WEHI_research kicked off the last oral presentation session of the day 🙌 Sharing a great story investigating where memory CD8+ T cells and their friends "hang out" in the lymph node using a mouse model @The_VIIN #YoungVIIN #VIINYIS

1/ 🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨Our new paper, led by @ObersAndreas & @maxevrard, is now live in @ImmunityCP! 🧬 Curious how CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) adopt their fate in different organs? Let’s dive in! 🧵👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1jw~j…

There are so many people to thank for getting this project done, mostly the two top dogs, Edwin Hawkins & @Dr_Ivan_Poon. Forever grateful for the years of mentorship and pushing me through the ups and downs 👊

Guys! I've opened my independent research lab 🎊 Incredibly excited to stress out a bunch of cells and see what cytokines they make 🔬👩🏻‍🔬🧫 And delighted that I'll be working with so many of my #Inflammation research hero's @Hudson_Research

@groomlab beautifully showing how to harness the compensatory mechanisms between type I and II interferon to increase stem-cell like T cell production. It’s all about location, location, location!
