Bruno Silva-Santos

Honored to be elected President of the Portuguese Society for Immunology @SImunologia alongside Vice-President @Salome_S_Pinho to promote and project Portugal-based immunological research over the next few years!

OUT NOW! Salomé Pinho, group leader at i3S, University of Porto, discusses how protein glycosylation can impact immune cells, particularly in the context of autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, lupus nephritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Great talk by @RonDePinho at @GIMM_Institute on telomerase in ageing (cancer, neurodegeneration)! Amazing body of work!!

Great time with colleagues at @EFIS_Immunology on Tour symposium in Rijeka, Croatia :)
