Congrats to Dr. Sîrbulescu for her promotion to Assistant Professor at HMS! Dr. Sîrbulescu and her team at VIC focus on understanding mechanisms of neuroinflammation and cell-based immunomodulation in the context of acute and chronic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases.

Each year a Clare student is offered an internship at the Vaccine & Immunotherapy Centre at Massachusetts General Hospital Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center MGH, thanks to Clare alumni Professor Poznansky (1986). (1/2)

The summer students are back in the VIC lab, ready to contribute to the exciting research studies under the mentorship of VIC Senior Scientists. We are thrilled to support the learning & development of these young scientists. See below students pictured at weekly tea & cake.

As part of the Summer Professionalism Series, Dr. Mukerji presented key elements to develop strong mentor-mentee relationships, which included an overview of tips & pitfalls. Thank you Dr. Mukerji! & late thanks to Dr. Reeves for his overview on Biosafety in the lab last week!

Strike a pose! It's photoshoot day at the VIC lab. Almost all the VIC team members were in attendance and wore their brightest smiles for the photoshoot. Get ready to see these photos on the website soon!

Last Thursday the VIC team took advantage of the lovely weather and gathered for a pot luck picnic with an assortment of delightful treats including homemade vegetable cutlets, a make-shift charcuterie board, upside down pineapple cake and lemon bars!

Thrilled to see this in print! Great collaboration with Joan How Patrick Reeves Immune profiling responses to influenza vaccination in patients with MPN - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jh…
