physician scientist 👩🏻‍⚕️🔬 aims at understanding #MAIT cell biology in #tissueimmunity and #cancer passionate about #immunometabolism based at M3 Research Center at University of Tübingen

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi "for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance" Stay tuned for more. #NobelPrize

I am more than happy that our study on MAIT cells in MASLD and their role in liver cancer immunity is now out in Journal of Hepatology!! 🤩 ⬇️ Here's a thread about: 🧬 Immunometabolic dysfunction of MAIT cells in MASLD: A novel barrier to liver cancer immunity 🧬 (led by Sebastian Deschler)

📣 !! JOB ALERT for PhD students !! My lab is moving to the M3 Research Center at the University of Tübingen and is looking for PhD students who are enthusiastic about translational research. If you are, read on below ⬇️

ICYMI: earlier this year in #Science #Immunology, Josh Gray, Donna Farber & al. analyzed the phenotype, transcriptome, function, & repertoire of #gdTcells in mucosal & lymphoid tissues & blood from 176 #human donors across the life span! Subjects ranged in age from just a few days to over 80 years!

Human γδ T cells in diverse tissues exhibit site-specific maturation dynamics across the life span

Human tissue γδ T cells are diverse and functionally heterogeneous in early life and differentiate into disseminated effectors in adults.
