I am so excited to start my new @Barts_Charity funded project investigating how menopause and HRT impacts upon immunity. But we are in need of volunteers to help with the study :)
This is my new paper on menopause ageing monocytes and how HRT can prevent immune ageing :) So happy that is out :) qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2025/m…
Hormone replacement therapy helps restore immune function in menopausal women, reducing inflammaging and preserving monocyte function. open-access

@GNRailUK just had a very irritating experience at your train station in watton. All the machines can't take card as the internet is down. I asked at the ticket office what to do, and very unhelpful she said just use the Trainline app. Why isn't there a plan in place for this?
@GNRailUK just had two very strange experiences with ticket inspectors on your trains in two days. The one today didn't speak, just had their earphones in and pointed at things. The one yesterday was wearing no identification at all and then took five minutes to get his id out.

We're pleased to share our new preprint on modelling dynamic immune responses in human skin! It has been a tremendous effort from everyone involved and we're excited to continue this new direction of research in immuno-competent skin models. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our newest paper is out! 🚨 We have uncovered multiple cellular senescence-associated defects in melanocytes and other cell types in Familial Melanoma Syndrome (FMS) patients with a p16 defect that makes them more susceptible to developing melanoma ⬇️

I am delighted to say that our new paper investigating the impact of an individual's characteristics on covid-19 vaccine immunogenicity is now published @npjvaccines
doi.org/10.1038/s41541-024-0… @blizard_inst (1/6).
In keeping with previous work in the field, we observed that age was an important factor for vaccine immunogenicity. Increasing age was independently associated with lower anti-S antibody titres post-vaccination. No difference in cellular antigen specific immunity was (5/6)
