Super excited to share our latest work on M. abscessus completed during my PhD! Here we show that pulmonary immune responses to M.abs vary depending on S or R colony morphology . Check it out!! @TricckyLab @Claudiocounoupa

Had a great time at #AMC2023 presenting work on how we mapped the TME of high-risk stage 3 nodes to determine if pre-treatment TME is predictive of outcome - so lucky to be working on a fantastic project with @AngelaHong. Thank you to @MelanomaAus for the travel funding ✈️

Big fan of the ozone layer☀️🌏💜
Ever wondered what life would've been like if we hadn't agreed on the Montreal Protocol to halt ozone destroying gases? Then read our quadrennial report (with the fabulous @RA_Ireland & @RachelNeale14) as part of The #UnitedNations Environment Programme - link.springer.com/article/10…
Had a fantastic week at #ASI2022MEL presenting some of my PhD work! Great to meet so many new people and spend the week learning about all things immunology. Can't wait for next year 🦠🔬

Mucosal vaccine route for a mucosal-specific response! In this work from Erica Stewart @ecca_stewart James Triccas @TricckyLab and colleagues, intratracheal immunization of #SARSCov2 induced a stronger and longer lung antibody response and BALT formation: nature.com/articles/s41385-0…

Our new paper is out! We looked into the regulation of lymph node microanatomy in M.tb infection. B cells may play a bigger role in TB than we thought! Thanks to @DrNayanB @claudiocounoupa @tricckylab @Fenglab_usyd and co-authors. @jclinicalinvest

The liver possesses unique immune properties that set it apart from other organs. In this month's Editor's Choice, English et al @CentenaryInst investigate the liver's distinct interconnected networks of macrophages & dendritic cells. #ICBnews #immunology

When you see PhD stipends falling below the minimum wage, do you really have to ask why STEM graduates are flocking the private sector instead of pursuing postgraduate degrees?

Had a fantastic time presenting my work at the #NTM_CSU mycobacteria conference in Fort Collins this week. It was great to meet so many people doing amazing work in the field- I can't wait for the next one! 🦠🔬
It's been a while ✈️ very excited to be heading OS for my first in-person conference!! See you soon Colorado 🗻

Fantastically written, and paints a very good picture of being an ECR in research in Aus at the moment. These are particularly important issues to think about with an approaching election!! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

It's here! Stoked to share my (belated) lockdown project, a review on M. abscessus #virulence factors and strategies for #vaccine design🦠💉Wouldn't have been possible without my co-authors/Myco brains trust @Claudiocounoupa @TricckyLab @mattdjohansen! ⬇️

The old man still has it! After 3.5 years of going to some cold dark places (cryostat): adult #zebrafish find host immunopathogenesis aids rough M. abscessus infection, work from @CentenaryInst and a major theme now at @idlabs_astar out in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Congratulations to @TricckyLab!
Congratulations to Prof @TricckyLab, named one of Australia’s most influential people by @smh 👏
Prof Jamie Triccas was recognised, alongside colleagues from @TheDohertyInst & @KirbyInstitute, for their ground-breaking work to identify how & why #COVID19 vaccinations wane 💉
