What a incredible week in Perth attending #ASI2025! 🔬🧪 A huge thank you to ASI for the opportunity to present my latest work, and to everyone who came along to hear all about my favourite topic: lymph nodes! (Obligatory Quokka photo obviously included)

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/...
