We held a thank you event in Oxford today
@OUHospitals @OxfordBRC for our OPTIC/PITCH/@vibrant_uk healthcare worker participants. Fab to hear all our participants' Qs on what we have achieved, immunity of "Never Nevers" etc. Great organising from Sofia/Lizzie/Anni/Callum & all

People with three vaccine doses neutralise BA.4 and BA.5 less well than they do earlier Omicron sub-lineages, a @UniofOxford team discovered last month in a study supported by @UKCICstudy.
Their findings could explain repeat Omicron reinfections.

Thrilled to see our work on the durability of immune memory responses to #COVID19 finally published in @NatureComms This work wouldn't be possible without incredible team @Susannajd @EleanorBarnesOx @PKlenermanLab @aneogbe @DanScholar @skellydonal Chris Dold @pitchstudy 🧵👇
***New #COVID19 preprint alert*** researchsquare.com/article/r… Happy to share our recent work on how immune response changes 6 months after natural infection. (1/n)

Honoured to be a part of this with @skellydonal writing about systemic inflammation, #delirium and #dementia
Absolutely thrilled to see our Textbook of Immunopsychiatry in flesh!
Product of 2y of blood, sweat & (mostly) tears! Hope you enjoy reading it.
Thanks to co-editors @Immunopsyc @edbullmore Robert & our international expert contributors.

ICYMI 📰 Antibody levels and ‘helper’ T cells are boosted after a ~10 week interval between 2 doses of the Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine
This @PITCHstudy research involved 5 UK centres 🤝 @UniofOxford @LivUni @sheffielduni @UniofNewcastle @unibirmingham

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"
I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.
Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

I am excited to post this advert for a new post-doctoral post in our lab, working on neuroinflammation, #delirium and brain energy metabolism, in collaboration with John Newman @GeriSciDoc . I would really appreciate some RETWEETs to help it find its audience !

This Saturday-entire year of med students gave blood for COVID serology and T cell analysis @OUH_Research. Brilliantly organised by @skellydonal and @LizzieStaffor15 @dcodonnell and others. Three huge labs collaborating @TaoDong14 @OxfordVacGroup @Susannajd. Went like a machine

Our healthcare worker pre-print explored T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 in 168 people post COVID-19 & 118 people who don't appear to have had the virus using several different lab assays that measure how T cells react to key proteins in the virus 1/7 medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Apparently most of these short links are not working (on anyone's computer other than mine !!). Humble apologies! Here's the link for the ahead of print version: jneurosci.org/content/early/… . You can easily find the short write ups in the @IrishTimes and @Independent_ie if you like !
Our new paper on #delirium and #sicknessbehaviour is out today in the #Jneurosci shorturl.at/HQTWZ @SfNJournals Delighted also to see some coverage in the @IrishTimes shorturl.at/hijGY and @Independent_ie shorturl.at/hmCZ2 Relevant to #cytokinestorm #COVID19
