#DirtyMice provide more realistic pre-clinical models and can be better from an animal welfare viewpoint. Rewilding experiments use a semi-natural environment. Animal facilities will have to be flexible to facilitate transition. @WACImmuno @Grahammunology

Had a great time at #WACI2024 earlier this month catching up with old and new friends to discuss all things animals and immunology! Congratulations @WildImmunity and @WACImmuno for organising a great workshop. Stay tuned for #WACI2025
Former #TasmanianDevil researcher and current @CSIRO scientist @Amanda_Patchett brings leading edge computing and immunology to the workshop!

@WildImmunity @WACImmuno appreciate the support for our #DFTD #vaccine research! We have a great team working towards the goal of preventing #TransmissibleCancers in #TasmanianDevils. Workshops like these bring us closer to that goal :)

@WACImmuno giving a nice talk on vaccines for devils at the Wild and Comparative Immunology Conference. Always great to get a good dose of immunology (sorry the pun)

~ By editing the fish genome to knock-out the non-essential traits, we can potentially use the energy to boost fish resilience and promote fish growth. GE fish is the fish for future. @WACImmuno #WACI2024 @CSIRO #AgAndFood #salmon
A bit more on naturally infected models could have been helpful.
