Inflammation & Infection 🧫🧬🔬@MIMOL_UNIGE, Mom of 3 building a meaningful (scientific) future after losing 2 boys in 22/23
Our beautiful son Leo aged 4 died on 18th Sep in a freak accident. (1/5)
After we lost Leo, @criminographer was our first lifeline. Her son Alexander and Leo were close in age when they died. We mourn the loss of her daughter Isabelle by the same genetic condition as Alexander. Consider helping her family to gain some breathing room. 🙏
Thanks so much for all the condolences for the loss of Isabelle.We're so grateful for offers of help but as we can't think straight at the moment,a colleague has kindly done a fundraiser page until we can function enough to know what we need.Thank you x justgiving.com/crowdfunding/e…
V for voyage. As Christmas comes and the New Year, I remember that we’re all on a voyage. My eyes are wide open now to every day of the voyage. Every day counts - we learn, we work, we live, we connect to others, but most importantly we don’t postpone. #lifeafterloss
V is for voyage. After Alexander died, I promised him that I'd stop making excuses about things I wanted to do. So I booked a trip to Australia for him. Isabelle was the dream travel companion.She loved it.I'm so glad I didn't know what was to come & just savoured every second.💕
Tune in to #inflammazoom! If you’re in the UK and just reading morning Twitter in bed, you still got time to fry some eggs! If you’re in Melbourne, maybe grab a beer, it’s hot!
Join us on December 16 for the final Inflammazoom webinar of 2024, featuring talks on from Kate Shroder @inflammasomelab @UQ_News and @SiMingMan1 @ourANU 🔬🎤 Register here to access the live session as well as on-demand talks from past sessions: events.abcam.com/AnYVL?rt=QlpM0……
Future postdocs in Infection Biology - check this out! Lots of cool research questions, a vibrant research environment and a fun PI!👇
Thrilled to announce that we have a postdoctoral position available to join the lab and investigate persistent Shigella infection! Do reach out if interested! Deadline: October 3rd Link: shorturl.at/Ndx6X Please retweet! @kingsmedicine @KCLImmunoMicro
Awesome work @DanielHFisch and @jkagan1 and team! This elegantly demonstrates the power of studying the endogenous proteins in real time in their native environment! 😎👏 Loving the innate immune cell biology, the best! 😍

Pathogen battling p62! #autophagy 😎 Happy to have made a small contribution and congratulations to all authors!👇
The main story of my PhD research project is finally out in @JCellBiol today! rupress.org/jcb/article/22… We were looking at how Vaccinia virus circumvents host immunity by disabling the autophagy machinery through depletion of sequestome-like receptors (SLRs). For a 🧵see below:
Delighted to announce that The UK Cellular Microbiology Network 2024 meeting will be held in Sheffield on the 8th-9th July 2024! Join us for two fantastic keynotes @ClareBryant13 @Basler_Lab and opportunities for ECR talks. Registration/abstracts open now: ukcellmicro.org
Important read for all of us studying cell-autonomous defences to pathogens. The guns (here lysosomes) each cell type has will be different AND (!) be loaded differently (aka differ in function and response) within a cell type. Yep, diversity in biology at its best! 😬😅😎
🔥#Lysosome aficionados: excited to see this perspective we wrote with @claudiobussi 🤩 @TheCrick in @PLOSBiology out! 🧵👇journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
Congratulations to @ewald_lab and team for putting a new post-translational modification - nitration driven by iNOS - at the heart of the vacuole-targeted killing mechanism of #Toxoplasma. Huge news!! >25 years after the discovery that iNOS is somehow important! 👍😎😍
Excited to share our new story explaining how macrophages use nitric oxide derivatives to shut down Toxoplasma evasion of cell-autonomous immunity. Congrats to @zhaoxyu6 and the team! link.springer.com/10.1038/s41467…
We're looking for a #postdoc to join our team at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) working on #inflammasomes, #celldeath and infectious diseases. Apply here and join us! tinyurl.com/3dyk6vhs
Very interesting article on gender equality in academia! I wonder what shape the scissor takes on at Director, Head of Department etc level?
Wonder if I can apply? 🧐😬 Future postdocs, check out this fantastic opportunity - interferons and infection, London, vibrant host-pathogen environment, fantastic PI, lots of energy! 😍
Love host-pathogen interactions? I have TWO MRC-funded postdoc positions to investigate IFNs and Salmonella. I’m looking for a cell biologist and an immunologist. Links below, reach out if you have any questions-Please RT! tinyurl.com/vhparsu7 tinyurl.com/3fhp9yz4
Love inflammasomes? 😍🔥☠️ Check out this great postdoc opportunity! 👇
We are looking for a postdoc to join our team @WWIEM_QUB - this is a 3 year MRC funded position to investigate ferritin and inflammasome activation in ARDS in collaboration with @ceciliaokane and @dfmcauley Please apply at shorturl.at/jvPRW DM me for more info! Please RT!
Today we opened the wonderful play ship for the @HanburySchool children in Leo’s memory. 💚 All made possible by resources, work and enthusiasm of our friends, community and the school. 😍 We are grateful Leo’s ship will bring years of fun to the kids. 🙏
Children at Hanbury C of E First School celebrated the launch of a spectacular new play area, built to celebrate the life of one of their beloved classmates. HFS Leo was “launched” today by Leo Mercer’s family. hanbury.eschools.co.uk/web/play_area_…
Whole genome sequencing providing answers in sudden death cases. It motivates me as a scientist to continue to discover protein pathways. As a bereaved mum, I know the trauma. It’s important to witness, to never forget, to live for those we lost. #Alexander 💙
Thank you so much for everyone's kind comments about our story. Hopefully, it might help other families to know the option is now there for whole genome sequencing. Much love to all our #sudc, #childloss families, and those also navigating genetic diagnoses 💙 #grief #dailyjoy
