Huge congratulations to @GeorgeVere1 for passing his viva today. It has been a privilege to supervise George as he brilliantly navigated his PhD journey. What a ride! Many thanks to @gordon_d_brown and @adbyrne for grilling duties!

Delighted to share our preprint, focuses on why host immunity drives fungal allergic disease. Utilises alot of single cell tech to show that dendritic cells are integral. This has been an amazing ride - real team effort with co-authors. Take a look! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thrilled to share our preprint. Interstitial macs unbiased clustering is due to conserved chemokine expression patterns, resembling T cell biology with cytokines 👇 IM-depleting 🐭showed their major role is orchestrating leukocyte recruitment in TLOs. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Looking for two postdocs to join my team @MRCcmm. We are working on the mechanistic basis of tissue invasion in fungal disease, and how this process is regulated in both the host and the pathogen.
I have two postdoctoral positions open on an exciting project to dissect the molecular basis of tissue invasion during fungal infection of the lung. This one is pathogen focused. @MRCcmm is a fun, collegiate research hub! jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webre…

A pleasure to share editing duties with @theRAD_lab on a special fungal issue in Parasite Immunology (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/…).... The timing with the Last of Us is purely coincidental.....
