Thank you Manu - Looking forward to working with you in Paris over the next years !

Congratulations to our mentor, Pr. Yasmine Belkaid, for receiving the 2026 Collen-Jeantet Prize for Translational Medicine!

thank you Caetano !! ☺️

Thrilled to start this new adventure in the @belkaidlab.bsky.social at @pasteuredu.bsky.social 🥳 Looking forward to lots of exciting discoveries in the years ahead ! 🌟

I’m excited to bring everything I’ve learned to my next adventure in the @belkaidlab.bsky.social at @pasteur.fr starting in 2026 and looking forward to new exciting science adventures in the years to come! 🤩

Thank you also to all @reisesousalab.bsky.social members I had the honour to learn so much from + for making these years the most fun and inspiring time 💫

Yesterday marked the end of an almost 7 year era in the @reisesousalab.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk 🥹 Feeling immensely grateful to Caetano for his incredible mentorship and guidance, and for fostering the most collaborative and supportive scientific atmosphere in the lab 🌟

Delighted that our paper describing cDC1 states and their distribution in mouse tumours is out today in @eurjimmunol.bsky.social. Many congratulations to Cécile Piot who led this work and brought it to conclusion! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Past, Present and Future of Immunology Research – with Caetano Reis e Sousa YouTube video by Francis Crick Institute

My "Crash Course in …Immunology" is now posted on YouTube youtu.be/nBC9vvlTxF8. Taken from a public lecture @crick.ac.uk on history and basic concepts in immunity. Aimed at the lay public and those seeking an introductory overview.

End of yet another very successful lab retreat. Great brainstorming and top notch science. Lucky to lead such a wonderful lab!

Nice lab picnic this evening in Regent’s Park.

Cardoso et al. @reisesousalab.bsky.social show that DNGR-1–deficient pre-cDCs display cell-intrinsic alterations in their ability to colonize peripheral organs. Their findings highlight an unexpected role for innate immune receptors in regulating cDCpoiesis. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Europe’s choice is clear.

To put science at the heart of its economy.

To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.

And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

Thank you so much for having me, Caetano @reisesousalab.bsky.social !! I’ve learned so much from you over the past 6 years and it’s been a real pleasure to be part of the lab ☺️

And congratulations to the family @marianapdc.bsky.social who are justly proud of their (grand) daughter/sister. Thanks for “lending” her to @reisesousalab.bsky.social for all these years.

There are few moments more rewarding in running a lab than having a student defend their PhD thesis. Congratulations Dr. @marianapdc.bsky.social for this amazing achievement. And thanks to @lloydlab.bsky.social and Bart Lambrecht for being the examiners.

Woooo huge congrats David !! 🥳🥳
