We could not have done this work without the support from @cancerresearchuk.org and the Medical Research Council. Their continued investment in discovery research is crucial for advances in biomedical research.

Very pleased to share our collaborative work with Ilaria Malanchi's lab. We have combined our lab's specialities and studied respiratory viral infections, type I IFNs and metastatic cancer spread to the lung. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @ila07.bsky.social @imperialnhli.bsky.social

And we, together with the lab of Ilaria Malanchi@ila07.bsky.social, also published a preprint on how type I IFNs impair seeding of lung metastases www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Ana Farias is the first author on this work.

We have been a bit silent on social media the last 6 months. A lot of things have happened in the lab so here are some updates.

Exciting data on oral tolerance induction are just out from several groups! I had the pleasure of writing a commentary www.science.org/stoken/autho... on the elegant study from @chrysothemisbrown.bsky.social. Don’t miss it if you're interested in mucosal immunology www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
