Brenner Lab
@Brenner_Lab
Dirk Brenner's research group in Luxembourg @LIH_Luxembourg and @uni_lu. We study #immunology, #immunometabolism in inflammation and cancer.
We made it on the cover of @Cell_Metabolism! Incredible artwork & research by Lynn Bonetti @LIH_Luxembourg, our lab & collaborators. ROS, glutathione, mitochondria, ETC, Th17 cells, infections & gut health! Check it out @FnrLux @uni_lu @science_lu @ImmunoMet @ImmunoMetEurope

New @Cell_Metabolism Spotlight written by our lab! How do macrophages recycle what they eat? We highlight the study by Lesbats et al. showing how phagocytosed bacteria fuel host metabolism Read the Spotlight: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The great article: nature.com/articles/s4158…
Check out the comments of Professors Dirk Brenner @Brenner_Lab and Bart Everts @EvertsBart on this paper "Blocking lactate: kick T cells when they are down" journals.lww.com/immunometaboli… Welcome to read!
I've been on a Twitter moratorium for the last week given the.. news, but I'm happy to announce a new story from our group @NatImmunol describing a metabolic sensitivity of exhausted T cells to lactic acid in tumors! 1/ nature.com/articles/s4159…
Just back from an amazing CANBIO2 retreat! Proud that my PhD student Sarah Alhamouieh won the Best Talk Prize, awarded by: Jorge Moscat & Maria Teresa Diaz-Meco Conde (Cornell) & @Thomas_Helleday (Karolinska). Great science, discussions&networking!Huge thanks to the organizers!



Excited to share our latest review: "Navigating the metabolic landscape of regulatory T cells: from autoimmune diseases to tumor microenvironments". Great work by my PhD students Janika Härm & Yu-Tong Fan @LIH_Luxembourg. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our lab is looking for a postdoc with interest and experience in mucosal immunology and gut microbiome: nature.com/naturecareers/…
Supported by @ImmunoMetEurope, @ImmunoMetNet, @BSI_immunomet, @ImmunoMet @immunemet, @SocietyEuropean and others working on immunometabolism, the aim of the Immunometabolism journal @Immunometaboli2 is to further grow and to become THE go-to journal in this exciting field
Our journal welcomes short commentary articles to put recently published high-impact work in a broader perspective. 🥳🥳🥳Interests in writing a commentary, contact our EiC Professor Jan Van den Bossche @immunometlab and the EB member Professor Sarah Dimeloe @SarahDimeloeLab

A fantastic day celebrating the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the TCR. Check out this T cell speaker photo which includes co-discoverers Tak Mak and Mark Davis. Thanks @UofT, @uoftmedicine, @ImmunologyUofT, @thePMCF for your support.
Super excited to share my PhD work, out now in @Nature. Here, myself, @lynchielydia, and all my wonderful co-authors explored the link between circadian rhythms, energy homeostasis and innate T cell function. A thread: 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Stellar moments in immunology: Celebrating 40 years since Tak Mak & Mark Davis discovered the T cell receptor with legends like Jim Allison, Carl June, Philip Greenberg, & our Mak Lab. This breakthrough reshaped science & patient treatment—why no Nobel prize yet? @ScienceAcad_swe




Ready for #DC2024Barcelona? We have ahead of us 4 fascinating days to share new data & discussions and to boost basic & translational research on #dendriticcells 25 top🌍speakers, 46 short talks, 200 posters, >300 attendees! support by @SEinmunologia @SCImmunologia @EuMacDcSoc
Great that you have been here with us in Luxembourg!
Great to join 30th ECDO. Thanks for the kind invitation from @Brenner_Lab. Amazing meeting, food and live band. Of course, sciences and friends! @MMittelbrunn @AgostinisLab @KatjaSimon4 !
And after listening caspases discoverer Prof. Junying Yuan and former colleague Wei Xie talks, we say goodbye to Luxemburg with new ideas and contacts to be made!!!! Thanks @Brenner_Lab for such a great conference!!! #ECDO24
Honored to have had the chance to organize the 30th Anniversary @ECDOorg Meeting together with Michael Heneka in Luxembourg @lcsb_uni_lu! Amazing community, inspiring science! It was fantastic to catch up with the field! Big thanks to all speakers & everyone who contributed!




Our lab @LIH_Luxembourg had another fantastic retreat with Karsten Hiller's group @tuBraunschweig at Fortress Ehrenbreitstein @FestungKoblenz, GER! Once again, great science, collaboration, and fun with friends! Excited to continue exploring together in 2025!



We had two VIPs visiting Luxembourg today: The Pope…and Navdeep Chandel! 🤩 While the Pope was impressive, we had to go with Nav’s talk @LIH_Luxembourg. His deep dive into mitochondria as the immune system’s regulatory hub was simply divine! 🙌🧬 ! @FnrLux @ImmunoMetEurope
