The spring EIG session is coming this Thursday on 1st of May. Please join us from 13:30 inΒ @edinuni-irr.bsky.social IRR South seminar room 1.05 for fantastic talks by Dr. Elizabeth Mann, Dr. Tovah Shaw and Prof. Hamida Hammad. See you there!
Very excited to share this collaborative work led by Kyriaki Neophytou. An extracellular Argonaute from a nematode parasite is transmitted to host cells and the non-vesicular form is functionally important (and now a vaccine candidate). An Argonaute vaccine... who would have thought.
Welcome to the BSky account for EMDS2025.

We look forward to welcoming you all to the wonderful city of Edinburgh in September.
Excited to start this next chapter in the @profandrewmac.bsky.social Lab! Iβll be exploring how Schistosoma mansoni shapes immune responses in the gut. Looking forward to new discoveries, collaborations, and plenty of worm talk! πͺ±ππ¬
Join us in Edinburgh in September for the 38th European #Macrophage and #DendriticCell Society meeting! We have a great lineup of speakers and are looking forward to all the fantastic talks and interactions that make this meeting special. #EMDS #ImmunoSky π§ͺπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ¬ www.emds2025.com
We're based in the Ashworth Laboratories, King's Buildings, University of Edinburgh. Photo shows the main staircase in the entrance to the Ashworth, stone steps from the 1920s, decorated with a series of bright, colurful banners depicting the science that's tackled in the building.
I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.
Our search for a flow cytometry core facility manager for King's Buildings, University of Edinburgh, is finally live. Join us!
Conventional & spectral. Parasites, immune cells, algae, bacteria, yeast and more. Full-time, open-ended.

Christmas biscuits from the lab!! I must get a new red check shirtβ¦
PhD available in the excellent @peronalab.bsky.social of Georgia Perona-Wright. The only downside of the PhD for the student is that I will also be involved. Its a cool project and will be a fun collaboration!
Vivien Shek, her PhD thesis, and Nicole. It is very cold today!
Congratulations @vshek.bsky.social ! First PhD from the Dundee Mcsorley lab, second one will be coming from Nicole (left) very soon hopefully!
Grateful for every moment, every challenge, and every bit of growth. Hereβs to new beginnings and all that lies ahead! π₯π #PhD #Graduation #Milestone #Gratitude
This journey wouldnβt have been possible without the incredible support of my supervisors, Henry, Hermelijn, and Al, who guided me through every step of the last four years. A heartfelt thank you also to my examiners, Tara and Mattie, for an engaging and enjoyable viva discussion.
