Our Glyco-Immunology (Dyer) lab has produced published and preliminary data demonstrating that an under-appreciated structure, the glycocalyx, on endothelial- and immune- cells regulates immune cell recruitment by:

Subcapsular sinus macrophages in the draining lymph node help retain resident memory B cells in the subcapsular niche and promote their re-entry into secondary germinal centers. Boosting vaccines in the same arm leads to more rapid secretion of broadly neutralizing antibodies.

Roger Highfield, Science Director, reports on the latest milestone in what is billed as the most complicated neuroscience experiment ever.

Hundreds of cubes of human brain tissue help scientists to chart the energy-making capabilities of various brain regions.

Multi-modal transcriptomic analyses of the sympathetic nervous system reveal organ-specific neural innervation and modular regulation of visceral functions.

We are looking for a Research Assistant with a background in immunology/neurobiology to join the interdisciplinary laboratory of Dr Fränze Progatzky at the Kennedy Institute.
