1/ 🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨Our new paper, led by @ObersAndreas & @maxevrard, is now live in @ImmunityCP! 🧬 Curious how CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) adopt their fate in different organs? Let’s dive in! 🧵👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1jw~j_OR~yiO…
The FUTURE is bright 🤩💫 Congrats to @PiroozZareie on being awarded an @arc_gov_au Future Fellowship! 🥂 @TheDohertyInst @UniMelb @UniMelbMDHS
A statement from our President, @MiriamMerad, to the #IUIScommunity. We invite you to read, reflect, and share this within the #GlobalImmunology network. 👉 loom.ly/iZseYbQ #VaccinesWork #ImmunologyWithoutBorders
Honoured to be one of this year's @CancerResearch Institute's grant recipients. Incredibly grateful for their support of our important research on discovering new immunotherapeutic targets for breast cancer. @TheDohertyInst
Congratulations Prof Laura Mackay who has secured a prestigious @CancerResearch Institute (USA) grant to advance research into novel immunotherapy targets for breast cancer. The @LMackayLab is leading the way in tissue-resident memory (TRM) cell research and how these cells can…
Thrilled to see our own @MarinaYakou in the #ASMRSpotlight! 🤩 Her research is tackling some big questions in cancer immunology—how patient-intrinsic factors like age, hormones and our microbiome influence antitumor immunity. @TheDohertyInst @TheASMR1
June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. Bowel cancer is rising at an alarming rate in young people, highlighting the importance of Dr Marina Yakou’s work, an ECR from The Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity. #ASMRSpotlight #bowelcancerawareness

Hear from our very own PI herself- Prof. Laura Mackay answers questions about everything career-related and her love for K Drama! 🤩
In our latest #PeopleandIdeas, we speak with Laura Mackay @LMackayLab @thedohertyinst about the importance of speaking up (and encouraging others to do so), gaining confidence in your career, and her uncommon introduction to science. hubs.la/Q03mgdkP0
So much of @LMackayLab's advice and philosophy resonates with me: rupress.org/jem/article/22… @JExpMed "be curious, ask questions, and don't be afraid to engage"

Congrats to Prof Laura Mackay (@unimelb & @theDohertyInst) who was awarded the 2024 NHMRC Elizabeth Blackburn Investigator Grant Award (Leadership in Basic Science). Her groundbreaking immunotherapy research is paving the way for better immune protection and patient outcomes
Laura Mackay's lab @LMackayLab @thedohertyinst investigates the development of memory T cells & their roles in #cancer, #autoimmunity, & barrier immunity, as well as ways in which these cells may be used therapeutically. Read more in #PeopleandIdeas: hubs.la/Q03mgpZH0
Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere. It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇 📖 nature.com/articles/s4157… #SciComm @NatRevImmunol @AspenInstitute @IcahnMountSinai…
