Great talk by @Emma_J_Grant @LIMSLTU at the @ImmunoGroupVic conference on the potential protection from CD8+ #Tcells against #H5N1 flu 👍

Amazing talk from Patrick Lelliott from the Baker Institute who presented his work on the impact of microplastic on #immune system, #inflammation and cardiometabolic dysfunction @ImmunoGroupVic conference Day 2 ;-)

Then we follow the morning session of @ImmunoGroupVic conference with @PiroozZareie and @lauren_jtweets

Great insights on commercialisation and how to move from the bench to translational research @ImmunoGroupVic conference by Sarah Herridge from BioNTech and Kate Schroder @inflammasomelab from @IMBatUQ

Great talk by Sam from our lab @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe at the @ImmunoGroupVic conference a quick 3 mins about #influenza #H5N1 #Tcell response

End of day 1 of ASI VIC/Tas conference @ImmunoGroupVic with talk about pandemic preparedness and questions on the role of researchers in communicating science and factual information with everyone. Happy to welcome Prof Brett Sutton with my co-chair Jim Harris from @CSIRO

🤯Three (!!!) new papers today in @ScienceMagazine on the application of generative AI for the de novo design of peptide/HLA binding molecules! Completely unique 3D structure and binding mode compared with natural TCRs and TCR mimics! Links to papers 👇

We started with some great talks in session 1 of the ASI VIC/TAS conference @ImmunoGroupVic with @TimetogoZ who just finished her PhD with the @HelbigLab @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU and who is looking for a Postdoc position so contact her if you are recruiting 😉

Great talk by @DimitraChatzil1 about her work on #COVID @ImmunoGroupVic @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe @latrobe

Welcome to the ASI VIC/Tas @ImmunoGroupVic Well done to the committee to bring so many Immunologists !!!! Great welcome by @louiserowntree @UniMelb

Congrats to Dr Helena Kim on being awarded the Tracey Banivanua Mar Fellowship. Dr Kim is becoming a world expert in preclinical stroke & cerebrovascular disease research. The appointment will help elevate her career and position her as a leader in neurovascular therapeutics.

Perfect sunny day to head to the @Melbourne Zoo for the ASI VIC TAS BRANCH ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING 2025 @ImmunoGroupVic @Emma_J_Grant @DimitraChatzil1 @LIMSLTU #immunology #Tcells #Bcells #viruses #science and more

Calling all Long COVID researchers, clinicians & lived experience experts. Free conference coming up in Melbourne - September 12th. For more details go to longcovid2025.com

1/2 🔬 Huge congrats to LIMS Deputy Director Prof Brian Abbey, who in partnership with Medtech company AlleSense have received a $2.5M AEA Innovate Grant to refine & scale-up manufacture of the cancer-detecting NanoMSlide! 👉 tinyurl.com/59bdbxms @AusGovEducation #science

1/3 ⭐ Big congrats to @ONJCRI and LIMS’s Dr Lisa Mielke, and VivaZome Therapeutics’s Dr Ella Johnston, who have each been awarded grants from @arc_gov_au! 👉 latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/… #sciencenews #research #grantsuccess #LIMSLTU #latrobeuni

Ever had to condense years of research into just 4 mins? That’s the challenge our HDRs and ECRs are taking on today! It’s all about showcasing their skills and the art of snappy science communication. We are thrilled to have researchers from @SABE_latrobe, SCEMs, LRHS and ONJCRI.
