It’s a wrap on another great #SgSI meeting, reconnecting with the immunology community in Singapore. Our lab is especially proud of Duke-NUS Medical School PhD student Rose who won the travel award for her poster!

A few “reasonable precautions” can help people keep their pets safe from the H5N1 virus, experts say. nyti.ms/3RxlTHz

Delighted to contribute to this paper led by Senjuti Saha, PhD | সেঁজুতি সাহা. Genuine collaborations are the key. Scientists in LMICs should be leading the research in their own countries. Too often we still see #colonialism in #science, disguised in many ways.

I will soon advertise a #postdoc position to recruit an immunologist or virologist Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore. Ideally, someone who wants to study inflammation in the lungs during allergic, infectious and/or fibrotic diseases.🫁It's funded! Please share & reach out if interested!

Want to analyze Single cell, Multiomics, Spatial or ATAC-seq data but don't know where to start? Or do you face problems in analysis ? Fret not, we have a solution for you. Our lab has developed ezSingleCell - nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thanks! I’m looking forward to working with @realFlorentGinhoux and Jerry Chan on this important collaboration!

Duke-NUS Medical School Ashley St. John Lab Mast cells!

Just before the summer break! Very proud and excited to share our latest work on tumor macrophage ontogeny ! Spatial temporal regulation of TAM development revealed using time stamping approaches! Ms4a3 Creert2 is a gem! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…, congratulations to the team!

CD1d-dependent NKT cells establish Th1 polarity during the early innate response to Dengue virus to promote infection resolution, memory formation and long-term protection from secondary infections Journal of Clinical Investigation Abhay Rathore Ashley St. John Lab @DukeNUS jci.org/articles/view/…

New Dengue study by Ashley St. John Lab Duke-NUS Medical School out it Journal of Clinical Investigation. CD1d-dependent NKT cells promote Th1 bias, which drives long term memory and protection against secondary heterologus Denv infections. A step closer to cracking the ADE problem. jci.org/articles/view/…

We have an exciting new PhD project available in our lab! It will be studying the impact of environmental pollutants on allergic sensitisation through the skin. If interested, have a look below. Deadline end of August. findaphd.com/phds/project/a…

Honored to be featured in Science Magazine's compelling story on #mpox in Nigeria. My take: Sexual transmission of mpox is still ongoing, mostly among heterosexuals, with major implications for Africa & vaccine-naïve heterosexual populations globally. shorturl.at/xjvTt

Most grateful to Ashley St. John Lab for talking about her amazing work on NKT cells in #dengue pathogenesis and how their polarisation affects the IgG antibody subtypes, at the Sri Lanka Medical Association annual sessions, 2024. Absolutely brilliant talk.

They will! Thanks for the hospitality ❤️ looking forward to next time!

This doesn’t include a South Asian cohort which has high incidence of DM and traditionally lower meat consumption 🤔

Stoked to share the most recent paper from the lab, starring #MastCells, the probably most interesting #ImmuneCells around..at least for some people in the group (Philipp Starkl). FANTASTIC collaboration with Shane JF Cronin PenningerLab science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Registration is open for the ⁦SgSI⁩ Halloween party (and career workshop)! It’s going to be a blast!
