Outside Parliament House, 50 researchers wore white lab coats 🤍 while 50 grey coats hung beside them 🩶 A stark visual of what’s at stake for medical research in Victoria. Half the Funding. Half the Future. #MedicalResearch saves & changes lives. Thank you to AAMRI for bringing us together.

Every coat tells a story. White = breakthroughs Victoria’s independent medical research institutes have delivered Grey = what’s at risk without State investment in 2026/27 Pause. Read. Then act. ✉️ Write to your MP: www.aamri.org.au/100labcoats #100LabCoats #VicBudget2026

Really nice to be back on the beach for Lorne Infection & Immunity. Thanks to the organisers for a great meeting and the chance to share our work. Lorne was my first ever conference when I was a young student, and it's great to see the community going strong #lorneiandi

Congratulations to @helenisinthelab.bsky.social for winning the Suspended! challenge at #lorneiandi 2026! She had great competition from Long Huynh. Thank you to VIIN and all the sponsors for making this amazing event possible.

ACREME was proud to see students, Kaitlin Pekin, Pailene Lim and Janani Karunarathne contribute to the 16th Victorian Infection and Immunity Network Lorne Infection and Immunity Conference in February 👏 @theviin.bsky.social @burnetinstitute.bsky.social @wehi-research.bsky.social

A huge body of work presented by our lucky last speaker of the whole conference, Dr Marcel Doeflinger from @wehi-research.bsky.social Their team has done some amazing studies into the mechanisms of long COVID and have some exciting therapeutics being developed 🦠🫶🏽💉🫁 #lorneiandi

Beautiful story from @l-beattie.bsky.social from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social revealing a new role for IL-4 from gamma-delta T cells in the CD8+ Tmem response to malaria sporozoite vaccination 💉✨🦟 Check out their recent publication: 📋 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #lorneiandi

We had Dr Shahana Ahmed from CSIRO, who gave a snapshot on transcriptomic signatures that differentiate resilient from susceptible animals in LSDV infection.🦠🐄 #lorneiandi

An interesting science bite by Carissa Aurelia from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social on the effect of bispecific IgG4 on Fc effector functions after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. 💉 #lorneIandI

Dr Michael Leitner from @qimrb.bsky.social gave a talk on cRNA-Seq uncovered neural cell tropism and antiviral responses in human and mouse neural tissues.🧠 #lorneiandi

Thanks to Dr Sudip Dhakal from @csiro.bsky.social for a great talk in our Advances in Treatment for Infectious Diseases session 🦠 he revealed how guide RNA can be used to help in the fight against highly pathogenic avian influenza 🐣🧬 #lorneiandi

We had @mithunbge06.bsky.social, from CSIRO, who gave an interesting science bite on development of a bat airway epithelial cell model to understand innate immune features to pteropine orthoreoviruses🦇 #lorneiandi

@camilahcoelho.bsky.social just presented her amazing work on #Mpox #vaccines and #antibodies at #lorneIandI. Brilliant, enthusiastic and inspiring! She’s looking for postdocs to join her new lab in Brazil! Spread the word! 🦠🧪🫶🇧🇷
