Happy #dayofimmunoloy! We work hard to understand how our immune system protects us from infection! Thanks to @ukri.org @yorkshirebiodtp.bsky.social MRC and BBSRC to support our research and the development of novel therapies!

The 2026 UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting is approaching fast! Submit an abstract until May, 12th and join us June, 22nd/23rd in Belfast! Exiting keynote speakers and opportunities for early career researchers from the UK, Ireland and beyond to share their work. www.ukcellmicro.org

With all the excitement about AI giving us answers, we often forget that the real trick is to figure out what is the question.

Jo in our team - we are looking for a PhD student, postdoc or lab manager! More information and links to job portal for application submission: lnkd.in/dcU2Vg7W lnkd.in/dgVKTARV Please share widely 🙏🏼 @yefis-immunology.bsky.social @syis-ecr.bsky.social
