Made it! #EULAR2025
Iโ€™m looking forward to presenting later today on a novel approach to investigating type I interferon signalling in cSLE.
Interrogating different signalling levels gives unique pieces of information and new disease endotypes.
Hopefully see you there to hear more!

When she's not in the lab @heather--cross.bsky.social is baking, cooking and hanging upside down in an aerial hammock! Something to talk to her about (alongside science ofc!) when you see her at EULAR!
