This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥
Inspiring and humbling talk by one of the greatest medical scientist of our time at #CART24. @carlhjune’s research on immunocellular therapies has saved the lives of thousands of patients and the future looks very bright! – at Valencia, Spain
I can’t get over this study! So bloody cool!
Authored by Andrew G. Soerens et al, we show that #Tcells are capable of proliferating in response to iterative stimulation for over 10yrs! And produce enough progeny to occupy a volume 30,000x the Earth's volume! @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

So happy for @LydiDyck & rest of the lab, that this study is published @JExpMed. Special thanks to our collaborators, includ. longstanding collaboration with @OSheaHoganLab and a great partnership with @donalb5 that allowed us to investigate the effects of obesity on cancer 1/2
Obesity impairs the anti-tumor immune response. @LydiDyck @tcddublin, @lynchielydia @BrighamEndo and colleagues investigated the effects of #obesity on CD8 T cells in mouse models and patients with endometrial #cancer. bit.ly/3J0lZ3X

Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.

Great interview with Catherine Green and Sarah Gilbert, scientists behind the Oxford / AZ vaccine. They’ve written a book called ‘Vaxxers’-partly to counter conspiracy theories: ‘We are normal people doing our job...We’re not them, we are us’.

A single-shot J&J Janssen COVID19 vaccine phase 3 results summarized in one table. Great news! Imagine being 💯 protected from death 28 days after a single shot, and 💯 protected from severe disease after 49 days - against all variants.

Our paper in Nature Immunology today, started as 3 studies in 3 separate labs and ended in a great collaboration between Ireland, Boston, Portugal and UK. It was great working with everyone involved @Claire_McIn @BSilva_Santos @danpennington7 @MathildRav

Interesting site to follow: percent of total population vaccinated by country. Over 3 million vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech so far. Israel predicted to have vaccinated total population by end of March.

Again, remarkable efficacy with the Moderna vaccine- red line. 2 highly efficacious vaccines should be in Ireland soon.

Yikes, would you take a drug* with this side effect profile?!
(*oh, it's the placebo arm of the Pfizer vaccine trial)
