Wow! What a week.. our #BSI25 Congress in stats:
3 invited talks
3 selected for abstracts for short talks
1 lunch industry talk and…
14 posters!
Not bad for a department less than 1 yr old 👏🏼

Now more than usual (since I'm considering applying for a sex-differences based fellowship) I enjoyed and appreciated @ciurtinlab.bsky.social talk #BSI25! We really really need to sex-dissegregate our data!! ♂️♀️

First-ever classification criteria for #haemochromatosis arthropathy now published! A major step for research & trials in this under-recognised condition. Thanks to the @eular.org task force who made this possible - a privilege to work together since 2020!

Research Highlight of the Year Arthritis UK Research Highlight of the Year: celebrate the outstanding work that’s made a real impact over the past year.

Loving #BSI25, especially @ciurtinlab.bsky.social and @emmaschambers.bsky.social highlighting our paper in @jem.org is one of #ArthritisUK top research output of ‘25! If you have 5 minutes, give us a vote (number 5) below, sex differences in the immune system:

Too many good talks so hard to choose #BSI25! For now let's see how our @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social HoD Derek Gilroy presents the great story of @oliviabracken.bsky.social 's PhD 👏🤩

Great to see the ARR labs as the background for new borrowers movie!

Sex differences in health and disease

Some of us may be interested to meet sooner, so #EESSexDifferences @EMBLEvents may be of interest. It goes beyond the immune system, but still www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Great to see @bcellsrosser.bsky.social perspective in @natrevrheum.nature.com highlighted in this editors comment!

Amazing talk from Lizzy Rosser @bcellsrosser.bsky.social at @efis-immunology.bsky.social So cool to hear about how sex determinants influence B cells! @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social

Congrats @heather--cross.bsky.social on a great talk at the EFIS sex difference meeting today! @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social

🙌🏽

Great to see @bcellsrosser.bsky.social and colleagues taking their science public engagement to @newscientist.com live!

Heading up to Manchester this morning to speak in the @britsocimm.bsky.social Manchester Immunology Group Seminar Series @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social
Looking forward to it!

In vivo CAR-T cell engineering in refractory SLE - Nature Reviews Rheumatology Infused lipid nanoparticles were successfully used to generate CAR-T cells in patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus, achieving B cell depletion.
