Passionate about cancer immunology. Pulmonary leukocyte stalker. Associate Scientist @cruk-si.bsky.social Views are my own. She/her.
A tale of an unconventional minority shaping the majority. (Yes, it's about gamma delta T cells.) Curious to know more? We even caught them in the act - live 👀
Leo Carlin@bair-head.bsky.social · 7mo agoDelighted to share our latest paper, led by Dr Ximena Raffo-Iraolagoitia, just published in Science Advances! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
can you explain this 3 year gap in your resume? yeah the paper was under review
Why only three tho when we are so many? I also nominate @kirsteencampbell.bsky.social @louisemitchell21.bsky.social @jenmorton.bsky.social
Ximena@ximeraffo.bsky.social · 2y agoNo dilemma! For me, it all started with the egg. When I realized that everything a chick becomes—from feathers to bones—is in the yolk and white, I knew I wanted to study biochemistry. I nominate @sarah-laing.bsky.social @lmluque.bsky.social @mollymckenzie.bsky.social #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction

Joanna Birch@jbirchj.bsky.social · 2y agoI became a scientist as I am fascinated by the complexity of biology. It’s amazing how much, and yet how little, we know. I nominate @chrishalsey.bsky.social @joedwardswwcrc.bsky.social @ximeraffo.bsky.social #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction
We had a celebratory get together yesterday. We are very proud to receive an Athena SWAN Gold Award. Thankful to everyone for their contribution and support. What a team! 🙏 @scs-voice.bsky.social
I get sequencing. But this DNA-origami? Witchcraft 🧙♀️
Ximena@ximeraffo.bsky.social · 2y agoAll packed and ready for an outreach evening with our local guides and rangers 👩🔬🔬 Very looking forward to sharing with them how women in cancer research are driving innovation, discovery, and impact every single day. @scs-voice.bsky.social @cruk-si.bsky.social #IDWGS #WomenInScience
