📣 We are delighted to announce world-leading immunologist Prof Sarah Gaffen as the incoming Director of the Lydia Becker Institute. Prof Gaffen succeeds founding Director @tracyh9494.bsky.social on Jan 1, 2027, as Tracy steps down after 8 years to focus on mentoring talent. 👉 tinyurl.com/3n4x5ave

Professor Sarah Gaffen Quote - "I am delighted to take on the role of Director of the Lydia Becker Institute. The ecosystem in Manchester provides opportunities to bridge immunology across disciplines. I'm eager to work across partner centres in fields like cancer immunology, neuroimmunology, and women’s health."

Delighted to share our new pre-print from PhD student Ziyun Zhang joint with @tracyh9494.bsky.social demonstrating that lung alveolar macrophages have a dense glycocalyx and interstitial macrophages do not, @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Airway macrophage specific expression of a dense glycocalyx and its remodelling following viral infection

The glycocalyx is best studied for its regulation of immune cell trafficking from the vasculature into inflamed tissues. The glycocalyx is composed of a range of glycans and glyco-proteins that form a...

so excited to share our article in @nature.com Immunology on the many challenges of climate change has for our immune function, infection susceptibility and disease and the need for new ways to research this. Will do a thread later! 🧪 @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @exposomeimmunology.bsky.social

Had a fantastic time at Dangerous Matter – a powerful opera on the history of vaccination, premiered at the RNCM in collaboration with the University of Oxford. It’s been a privilege to be involved in project – from speaking at the Science and Industry Museum workshop to hosting students in the lab.

The most popular use of AI was to edit papers, and here, career stage mattered. Early career academics were far more likely to have used, or think it was acceptable to use, AI in editing their work.

A bar graph showing that the earlier career stage a researcher was, the more likely they were to think that it was appropriate to use AI in editing research papers. It was also more likely that earlier career researchers have themselves used AI to edit their own papers.

👏Congratulations to Katie Lowles from our Wellcome Trust ICD PhD Programme supervised by Joan Chang, Karl Kadler and our Director @tracyh9494.bsky.social on her first manuscript on macrophage regulation of fibroblast collagen deposition through circadian rhythms. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Macrophages promote collagen deposition through circadian regulation of fibroblasts

Collagen deposition in fibroblasts, the primary collagen-producing cells, is regulated by both macrophages and the circadian rhythm, although how these regulatory processes interact with one another i...
