Looking forward to meet again in Hamburg this fall! @immunotal.bsky.social @consigliocr.bsky.social @darraghduffy.bsky.social @soareslab.bsky.social @sexdiffimmunity.bsky.social

We have a new story out at @natcomms.nature.com!

This time our lab tackled the enigmatic "autoinflammation of unknown origin". These #autoinflammatory patients don't fit the criteria of classical syndromes. It wasn't even clear they were a single group, to be honest

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are looking for outstanding scientists to develop ambitious research programs in molecular and cellular biology, with special interest in multidisciplinary projects and computational biology.More info: www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr #MolecularBiology

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Meanwhile, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an increasing global health concern. NTM infections often resemble TB clinically, which can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapy. Additionally, drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis and NTM exacerbate the global antimicrobial resistance crisis. A better understanding of the biology of mycobacterial pathogens and of the mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis and transmission is critical to reduce their burden worldwide. This EMBO Workshop is the fourth in a successful series held at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, following the meetings organized in 2012, 2016, and 2022. It will bring together scientists, clinicians, public health experts, and representatives from industry and non-profit organizations, who will share recent insights into mycobacterial infections, from fundamental discoveries to translational research, and their practical implications. The program will cover mycobacterial evolution, physiology, metabolism, host–pathogen interactions, immune responses, mechanisms of drug evasion, therapeutic strategies, vaccines, and diagnostics. Emerging experimental models, computational approaches, and artificial intelligence will also be addressed, showing how recent technologies contribute to advancing mycobacterial research and interventions.

🧬 EMBO Workshop – The complexity of mycobacterial infections: from research to real-world impact

📅 14–18 Sept 2026, Paris

Tuberculosis & non-tuberculous mycobacteria at the heart of discussions: evolution, host–pathogen interactions, drug resistance.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Paper alert 📢: What drives variation in humoral responses to viruses? collab with @etienne-patin.bsky.social @darraghduffy.bsky.social @lquintanamurci.bsky.social we show that for ~98k viral epitopes immunodominance vary by genetics, sex and origin: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Demographic and genetic factors shape the epitope specificity of the human antibody repertoire against viruses - Nature Immunology Patin and colleagues present a mineable Resource database for identifying demographic and genetic factors that impact antiviral antibody repertoires in humans.

Happy to share our last study on how age, biological sex and genetics affect not only the extent of antibody responses against viruses but also the specific viral epitopes recognised. Thanks to Axel Olin @EtiennePatin @LabExMI @institutpasteur @cdf1530 @CNRS

Scientist's way of saying 'I ❤️ you'

"I found this paper/preprint that made me think of your project."
"I checked the mice/cells/plates already."
"I just sent you the edits you requested."
"I have a slide/diagram that will work for that."
"I had that problem with [lab equipment], I have a fix."

Hi all, applications are still open for a PhD in the @mlcare.bsky.social doctoral network!

Uruguay built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. It produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources & created 50,000 new jobs. Customers pay at least 20% less than they did before the transition

In general I think it's hard to combat scientific misinformation when some of the best research is locked behind an academic paywall, while lots of nonsense gets published free for everyone to read in predatory journals.
