Interdisciplinary research can be challenging, but exciting and rewarding to work with @ffrancafrat @Mauri_group @WilleggM @JosefNg1 and @DrAlexStew. Loving this paper, tell your sterile transcripts from your productive ones and the world of CSR opens up with fascinating insights
sciCSR developed by @FraternaliLab, @JosefNg1 and colleagues is a computational workflow that uses scRNA-seq data to predict class switch recombination events and B cell dynamics.

Or interpreted another way. People who can afford to drink champagne have better health. This we need to fix.
Launch day! Looking forward to the Annual Symposium today. A future where everyone can age well on their terms? Learn more about the Vivensa Foundation by...

Really interesting morning discussing our challenges in providing efficient and respectful care of older people.
Delighted to welcome a delegation of Korean civil servants with our @ILCUK partners to learn about our world-leading research on integrated care @UniofSurrey
Keep an eye out for PhD studentship opportunities from University of Surrey 😃
We are investing over £500m through our new doctoral landscape and focal awards.
The funding announced today will support doctoral students to develop their skills across the biological, engineering & physical, and natural & environmental sciences: orlo.uk/Z8xKX
ALT Image of quote that reads: UKRI Chief Executive, Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser, said: "UKRI’s investments in doctoral training are pivotal for the UK’s research and innovation endeavour. The awards provide funding for universities across the UK to nurture a cadre of creative, talented people to develop their skills and knowledge, to build partnerships and networks, and to pursue the discoveries that will transform tomorrow, with diverse benefits for society and economic growth."
Congratulations to all our wonderful staff that work so hard to make this possible.

There’ll be >1.5bn people over 65 by 2050. Transdisciplinary healthier ageing research is critical. We recently welcomed our first cohort of 56 academic fellows to rise to this challenge. @GiaFundacion@ILCUK @UniOfSurrey surrey.ac.uk/news/first-coho…
Congratulations to Dongjun, producing excellent bioinformatics tools to progress our understanding of antibodies.
Dongjun's talk on ImmunoMatch a.k.a. antibody "tinder" to study heavy and light chain pairing at 3DSIG! #ISMB2024
Powerful new tool, showing it isn’t all switching from M. doi.org/10.1038/s41592-023-0…

Remarkable research for healthy ageing, and more! Are you a member of the academy yet?
Ever wondered what makes @DunhillMedical different from other #healthyageing funders?

Huge thank you to @Emma_S_Chambers for all her expertise she's brought to our Board as one of our first ever ECR Trustees. In particular, she's been a champion for developing initiatives to provide extra support for ECRs & on our vaccine engagement activities
Today is my last board meeting as @britsocimm trustee. I have spent six wonderful years representing ECRs - I am incredibly proud of ECR initiatives brought in by the BSI, such as the Career Enhancement Grants immunology.org/membership/gr…. Thanks to the trustees past and present.
