JUST PUBLISHED | A Menzies collaboration research project has found that despite an overall higher mortality rate, First Nations people have similar COVID-19 immune responses to non-Indigenous Australians. The paper is available here: doi.org/10.1111/imcb.1…

So super proud of this lovely work! Massive congratulations Carolien 👏😆👏 Huge thank you to all the amazing collaborators and funders!

Carolien van de Sandt presents work on CD8+ T cells immunity across human life span #ESWI2023 #EarlyCareerScientists

Say hello to VIC 2023 Tall Poppy winner, Dr Carolien van de Sandt.
Dr van de Sandt compares killer-T-cells of children and elderly people to understand why they respond differently and uses this knowledge to improve vaccines and treatment strategies.

Have you ever wondered why some people get more sick from the flu than others?

Huge thank you to Zoe for such a beautiful artwork and to Nature Immunology for selecting Zoe’s artwork as a cover to describe our study!

Thank you Luis and the team for such a wonderful N&V.

#COVID19 vaccination is highly recommended for Indigenous populations. A 🧵on our Nature Immunology paper nature.com/articles/s4159…, highlighting robust immune responses to COVID vaccine in Indigenous peoples.

New research led by Kedzierska Lab has found that pregnant women display a strong immune response to #SARSCoV2 infection, comparable to that of non-pregnant women.

Huge thank-you to our amazing collaborators. We are also very grateful to all the participants who took a part in our study.

New research by Kedzierska Lab in collab with Peter Mac Cancer Centre shows #COVID #vaccine induces robust T cell responses in blood cancer patients, on par with healthy individuals.

An exciting opportunity exists for 2 postdoctoral fellows to work on immune responses towards respiratory viral infections and novel vaccine platforms at Hokkaido University (Japan) in close collaboration with Prof Katherine Kedzierska and her team at UniMelb MDHS Doherty Institute

Thank you also to Toshiki Sekiya Hokkaido University for the delicious food options and for showing us around #hokkaidouniversity and #sapporo !

Thank you for hosting us and sharing with us your exciting science. We are thrilled about our future collaborative projects.

It’s flu season again…How is our immune system protecting us?
It turns out antibodies aren’t the whole picture!

Excited to be awarded an NHMRC Ideas grant this year and looking forward to embarking on this journey into cancer immunology Doherty Institute!

Big shout out especially to Katherine Kedzierska, the Kedzierska Lab and fellow collaborators in the Mackay Lab, Rossjohn lab and Helbig Lab!

Congratulations to PhD students @Wuji23726691 and Isabelle Foo (4th and 5th from left in pic) on winning the best oral presentation in their sessions at #AVS11 , a great achievement! 🤩
