Achille Broggi🧪👨🏼‍🔬🔬

Member Spotlight: Achille Broggi Explores Gut Immunity - Biweekly newsletter of the International Cytokine & Interferon Society I currently work at the Center for Immunology Marseille Luminy (CIML) in Marseille, France where I lead the team “Innate immunity at mucosal sites”. In our team we are interested in understanding innate immune responses in the intestine, and in particular how immune cells, epithelial cells and microbes communicate during homeostasis, inflammation and repair. Cytokines

Thanks Cytokine society for this interview in the Member Spotlight. Great honor to be featured here :)

Big congratulations to Achille Broggi @achillebro.bsky.social, team leader at CIML, who has been awarded the 2025 CNRS Bronze Medal! This distinction honors his research on innate immunity, particularly his discoveries on the role of interferons in tissue protection and repair.

Thanks so much to Mathias Hornef, Oliver Pabst and Heike for organizing the beautiful #EMIG2025 in @rwth.bsky.social . This nice picture really captures the mood of this amazing conference. @ejvillablanca.bsky.social @gmagrilab.bsky.social

Great job #immunosky

Beyond excited to share our #NewPaper in @cellcellpress.bsky.social! Inflamed environments acidify intracellular #pH. BRD4 senses this via transcriptional condensates, tuning #macrophage responses to match demand and consequences of #inflammation authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

How does the gut stay healthy during worm infections? 🛡️🪱 A new Canadian-German study in #Cell shows #interferons help protect tissue. Not by killing worms, but by boosting gut resilience!

honored to be part of this selected pool and very thankful to @cnrs-dr12.bsky.social to be supportive of my research!

My opinion on unprovoked attacks on a sovereign nation is the same, whether it's Russia attacking Ukraine, or Israel attacking the Iranian regime....this is illegal and terrible. War is never good. People are dying. #peace

Just heard @erc.europa.eu will increase funding for grantees relocating to #Europe. Researchers based in the US or elsewhere in the world, can apply for €1 million beyond the usual max amount to set up a lab or #research team, if scientifically justified. Now to be €2 million.

🎉 We're thrilled to share that Dr. Anaïs Rogier, trained at CIML in Sophie Ugolini’s team, has received the Aix-Marseille University Thesis Award for her outstanding work on neuro-immune regulation during viral infections. Bravo Anaïs! 🧠🦠

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Very nice as always from the Rakoff-Nahoum lab at @bostonchildrens.bsky.social , exploring how the intestinal microbiota metabolizes plant-derived secondary metabolites, and detailing their effect on gut #immunity . 🧪#gastrosky #microbiology

📌

So nice to have this scientific day! Learned a lot about #cancer and #immunooncology.

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... gorgeous paper from the lab of Marco Colonna @washu.bsky.social that uses a elegant genetic tools to show that RorγT+ DCs (but not ILC3s) induce oral tolerance against food antigens by inducing #pTregs ( my #firstlove as a @granuccilab.bsky.social PhD student 😍🧪) #immunosky

@iwriteok.bsky.social also for context from a biologist... chelation sequester divalent ions. This includes heavy metals like lead but also essential elements like calcium and magnesium that are extremely important for all biological processes

@iwriteok.bsky.social great episode but it's pronounced "kelation"

🔬 🦠 Check this great scientific meeting organized by Wolfgang Kastenmueller, Menna Clatworthy and CIML's team leader Marc Bajenoff.

The astronautes that returned from space after 9 months couldn't recognize the world they returned to and the progress that has been made:
"So many cells have been sequenced!"

We are proud to announce that the AIR-MT project has been selected for funding by Inserm ImpactSanté program (€3M), with CIML researcher Béatrice Nal as a key partner.
The project will use artificial intelligence to design optimized RNAs for more effective vaccines and therapies. #France2030.

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Nelson Gekara from the Institute of Microbiology and Hygiene in Freiburg, as part of the 2025 CIML seminar series. Nelson gave a fantastic talk on "The cross-talks between the innate immune and DNA repair system". Thanks Nelson for your visit!

Which microbes are growing on the #InternationalSpaceStation? 🛰️

A team at @ucsandiego.bsky.social generated a 3D map of the microbes and metabolites on surfaces of the ISS.
