Review @NatRevRheumatol @VinuesaLab @TheCrick
TLR7 in systemic lupus erythematosus: genetics and emerging therapies
nature.com/articles/s41584-0…
Vinuesa Lab retweeted
Phenomenal work by Qian (Sophie) Shen and Carola Vinuesa @VinuesaLab on how TCF1 and LEF1 promote B-1a cell homeostasis and regulatory function, presented by Carola at #IUIS2025. Read more in the paper released yesterday in Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

It was an honour to present at the Third International School on Advanced Immunology. We found that DECTIN-1 induces Treg differentiation and is a modifier protein of severe #autoimmunity, which finally explained a 20 year mystery of incomplete penetrance in a family with a CTLA4 LoF mutation. @ImmunoSens @JCSMR @carovinuesa @PabloCanete6 @VinuesaLab

.@yzhang_archer @VinuesaLab et al. reveal a role for hypomorphic SH2B3 in #lupus risk and show that rare, damaging variants in lupus patients enable breach of B cell immune tolerance checkpoints. hubs.la/Q02TfwQh0

Brilliant @TheCrick Lecture by @carovinuesa, sharing her work over the years exploring B cells and their many roles in autoimmunity
Pizza night to celebrate @EmilyHurleyBio’s brilliant MSc thesis, @dianemaurice2’s paper, as well as many other submissions from the lab!
This week we celebrated the accomplishments of the Crick scientists, including the 2023 Johann Anton Merck Award that @carovinuesa received for outstanding scientific preclinical research accomplishments. Join us in congratulating her and other brilliant scientists at @TheCrick!

Carola Vinuesa’s story lies at the intersection of an unusual Venn diagram: her expertise in genetics overlaps with an interest in feminism, social justice and the sway that science can hold in a court of law go.nature.com/4bFU47j

We are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive!
Edith, who is currently director-general at @EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025.

ALT "The Francis Crick Institute has quickly established a global reputation for its work at the frontiers of science. I relish the challenge of building on that work. I also want to pay tribute to Sir Paul Nurse, without whom the Francis Crick Institute would not be the world-leading institution it is today." - Edith Heard
We had a fantastic time at the #EMBOlymphaticTissues & Germinal Centers workshop in Galway! Lots of exciting and brilliant research, some gaelic games, and many nice discussions with old and new friends ☘️
The @VinuesaLab representation has started to arrive at Galway ☘️🇮🇪 for the #EMBOlymphaticTissues workshop! Find us if you fancy a chat about autoimmunity, genetics, or anything B cell-y 🧬 🥂
And make sure to attend @sophieshen896’s talk on Wednesday at 16.30, as well as @Eilema’s on Thursday 9.30 and @carovinuesa’s later at 16.00 🗣️🧬 Sophie and Amalie will also have posters 🤩🧫
What a great time we had at the @VinuesaLab retreat! Lots of science discussions, games, time by the beach, and even a bbq 🧠🗣️🧫🏖️Thank you for an amazing time @carovinuesa @sophieshen896 @Eilema @RoserTP @WareThuvaraka @LMShuttleworth

Professor Carola G. Vinuesa FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Her work has illuminated how T cells regulate B cells and control the quality of antibody responses. She is a Royal Society Wolfson Fellow. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/caro…

Professor Carola Vinuesa, the scientist behind the gene mutation discovery that's led to the new Kathleen Folbigg inquiry, has described Folbigg’s imprisonment as heartbreaking and cruel.

Academy Fellow (& now @RoyalSociety Fellow) Prof @CarolaVinuesa is making strides in not only immunology but also genetics including a discovery that may lead to the release of Kathleen #Folbigg in what could prove to be a historic miscarriage of justice.
Congrats, Carola!
@carovinuesa has been elected Fellow of the @royalsociety, the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence since 1660 👏👏👏
BREAKING: Our sincere congratulations to Academy Fellows, Profs Carola Vinuesa (@carovinuesa), @Jamie_Rossjohn, Richard Robson, & @BobPressey, on being elected Fellows of the @RoyalSociety – the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. science.org.au/news-and-even… #RSFellows

The identification of a genetic mutation that causes lupus could revolutionise treatments for the autoimmune disease, for which there is no cure.
"It has been a huge challenge to find effective treatments for lupus," said #ANUExpert @carovinuesa.

This new research "raises the exciting possibility of developing new drugs targeting TLR7, potentially revolutionising treatments for lupus," said #JCSMR researcher Dr Vicki Athanasopoulos. @CPImmunology @VinuesaLab
