Another fantastic @ASI annual meeting, with @benjbroom.bsky.social (New Investigator finalist) and @brigetteduckworth.bsky.social (Symposia session) sharing the latest work from our lab. Loved catching up with old friends and hearing the current research from this brilliant network.

Thrilled to make the cover of @natimmunol.nature.com this month. A version of this warhol-inspired image has been in my head almost since we first conceived this Tfh diversity project (many, many years ago) @wehi-research.bsky.social

A landmark WEHI-led study has uncovered how our daily food choices are having an immediate effect on our gut health. Brilliant research led byDr Cyril Seillet and Dr Le Xiong, that could help pinpoint #chronicinflammation at the source. Now published in Immunity. www.wehi.edu.au/news/fast-fo...

Innate lymphoid cells 3 (ILC3s) are a subset of immune cells that are critical to gut immunity. When there is excess fat, such as after a rich meal, ILC3s store this fat in tiny lipid droplets to maintain their function. In this 3D illustration, we can see a lipid droplet (in orange) inside an ILC3.

Our May issue is here! rupress.org/jem/issue/22... Cleary et al. (doi.org/10.1084/jem....) developed a new intravital technique for imaging pulmonary lymphatics. The cover depicts a 3D projection of a whole lung lobe with lymphatics (purple) and smooth muscle (white) labeled.

Thrilled to share our work now published on @cp-immunity.bsky.social . Big thanks to our collaborators. Here we show that short-term High-Fat diet impairs ILC3 functions in producing IL-22 through microbiota-dependent and-independent mechanisms.

Happy one week of my @jem.org paper! Our work from the @groomlab.bsky.social at @wehi-research.bsky.social identifies using early IFN-I blockade alongside mRNA vaccination to direct CD8+ T cell positioning in the lymph node to drive Tscm cell differentiation and enhance vaccine protection

@benjbroom.bsky.social et al. @groomlab.bsky.social show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation & cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells rupress.org/jem/article/...
