Congratulations to @karolinskainst biomedicine student Daniel Langdon who won poster prize at @ASP_GPO @AmgenFoundation symposium in @Cambridge_Uni

New work from our group and Kim Thrane's resolving the immune phenotype of sinonasal cancer with TCR/BCR profiling in tissue sections. SNC are sky-high for Treg cells and Treg clones colocalise with CD8 T and B cells in CXCL9+ niches. #spatialVDJ #scRNASeq

And this why boys and girls you need to know the reagents that you are using

So we blocked IFNγ in Mtb infected macaques and….the animals were fine. Turns out mice overestimate the importance of IFNγ in TB because IFNγ drives iNOS in mice but not macaques or humans. This means we don’t actually know how T cells suppress Mtb. rdcu.be/ff9GB
Our paper on JAML and NK cells on bioRxiv now Thanks to @Cancerfonden for supporting this work
Intratumoral expression of JAML on NK cells is controlled by tumor microenvironment and MHC class I interaction biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… #biorxiv_immuno
Opening of @ASP_GPO @AmgenFoundation first day at @Cambridge_Uni for the European symposium 2025….the Karolinska cohort will present their findings today

There are now >550 inborn errors of immunity 🧬. Latest update from IUIS IEI c’tee is now available on IUIS website & will be formally published soon. Great to be part of this team providing an important resource for all. Well done @IsabelleMeyts @cecipolih & all ctee members!
The 2024 IUIS Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) Classification has arrived! Explore our latest insights now at iuis.org/committees/iei. Find the report under “Annual 2024 Report”!

For the first time in 5 years Covid is relatively quiet during the holiday season. The XEC variant marches on (latest CDC genomic surveillance below) slowly advancing as % of attributable cases. Fortunately, it's not one that poses a big challenge to our now conditioned immune response

Time to prove two things 1) I am aging and 2) I am still a fencer! Hetting ready for veteran @FIE_fencing fencing champs @FIEAthleteCom

🚨🚨I’m excited to present our lab’s new paper where we tried to provide a mechanistic explanation for the link between antibiotic use and risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (#IBD). A 🧵/1

Sorry for maybe dumb question: you know how ppl differentiate iPSCs into all kinds of cells? Can they diff into cell types that don’t normally exist in nature?
How much rent does Cambridge have to pay for this space in their lunch room? @karolinskainst @akademiskahus Time to reduce rents in academia in Sweden to better Swedish science
Great night last night in Cambridge with @DrFran_Colucci, made better by randomly meeting an @karolinskainst Amgen scholar from 2014 as the 2024 cohort also randomly was walking by…..a 10 year generation gap but still the same excitement @ASP_GPO @AmgenFoundation

Welcome to @Cambridge_Uni #AmgenScholars
Prof. Alex Webb kicks off the day, reminding Scholars that contrary to how scientists are often depicted in films, with the lone scientist in a lab, science is a team endeavor
Final day presentations for the @karolinskainst Amgen scholars after their 8 weeks @AmgenFoundation @ASP_GPO @AmgenScholarECC
