Congratulations to @helenisinthelab.bsky.social for winning the Suspended! challenge at #lorneiandi 2026! She had great competition from Long Huynh. Thank you to VIIN and all the sponsors for making this amazing event possible.
A huge body of work presented by our lucky last speaker of the whole conference, Dr Marcel Doeflinger from @wehi-research.bsky.social Their team has done some amazing studies into the mechanisms of long COVID and have some exciting therapeutics being developed 🦠🫶🏽💉🫁 #lorneiandi
Beautiful story from @l-beattie.bsky.social from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social revealing a new role for IL-4 from gamma-delta T cells in the CD8+ Tmem response to malaria sporozoite vaccination 💉✨🦟 Check out their recent publication: 📋 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #lorneiandi
We had Dr Shahana Ahmed from CSIRO, who gave a snapshot on transcriptomic signatures that differentiate resilient from susceptible animals in LSDV infection.🦠🐄 #lorneiandi
An interesting science bite by Carissa Aurelia from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social on the effect of bispecific IgG4 on Fc effector functions after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. 💉
#lorneIandI
Dr Michael Leitner from @qimrb.bsky.social gave a talk on cRNA-Seq uncovered neural cell tropism and antiviral responses in human and mouse neural tissues.🧠 #lorneiandi
Thanks to Dr Sudip Dhakal from @csiro.bsky.social for a great talk in our Advances in Treatment for Infectious Diseases session 🦠 he revealed how guide RNA can be used to help in the fight against highly pathogenic avian influenza 🐣🧬 #lorneiandi
We had @mithunbge06.bsky.social, from CSIRO, who gave an interesting science bite on development of a bat airway epithelial cell model to understand innate immune features to pteropine orthoreoviruses🦇 #lorneiandi
Next up in our Advances in Treatment session is PhD student Kimberley Gunther from UQ, who shared their work developing a host-directed therapy based on macrophage metabolites 💥 which enhance antimicrobial functions, to combat the huge global threat of AMR 🦠🐁 #lorneiandi
Really nice to be back on the beach for Lorne Infection & Immunity. Thanks to the organisers for a great meeting and the chance to share our work. Lorne was my first ever conference when I was a young student, and it's great to see the community going strong #lorneiandi
@camilahcoelho.bsky.social just presented her amazing work on #Mpox #vaccines and #antibodies at #lorneIandI. Brilliant, enthusiastic and inspiring! She’s looking for postdocs to join her new lab in Brazil! Spread the word! 🦠🧪🫶🇧🇷
Thanks so much to our sponsor for the Advances in Treatment for Infectious Diseases Session, ✨ CSL ✨ Keep them in mind for collaborations on human therapeutics 😍 #lorneiandi
Incredibly grateful to hear a beautiful invited talk from Dr Camila Coelho @camilahcoelho.bsky.social from Mount Sinai, NY🗽, revealing the first monoclonal antibody protective against an orthopoxvirus, for developing drugs and vaccines against Mpox which urgently needs new therapies 💉✨ #lorneiandi
A great Science Bite from Anouschka Akerman, a post-doc at UQ, who showed us their team's approach for a rationally-designed T cell vaccine for malaria 🦟🧬💉 #lorneiandi
The leaderboard heating up! Long Huynh currently in the lead ⚡ #lorneiandi
Final speaker for the Session, @harshw.bsky.social from
@monashuniversity.bsky.social took us through how the metabolic shift acts as a rescue for macrophages in fungal pathogenesis. Great talk!👏 #lorneiandi
Up next Jason Paxman from La Trobe on "lazy" cell penetrating auto-transporte toxins of bacteria 🦠🦥
Shout out to Akila Pilapitiya who was the PhD student behind alot of this amazing work!
#lorneiandi
Next up in the session, we had @pailene.bsky.social from @wehi-research.bsky.social gave a great talk on PTRAMP-CSS, first multi-stage malaria vaccine target💉🦟 #lorneiandi
Do you want to do proteomics but don't have a mass spectrometer? Well now you can with just PCR thanks to the #lorneiandi sponsor Olink! 🧬

Our next speaker is A/Prof David Jacques from UNSW, who gave as an interesting talk on multifunctional retrovirus capsids, which act as targets for anti viral drug treatments.💊🦠 #lorneiandi
Kicking off our last day of #lorneiandi with @robmoon.bsky.social talking about zoonotic malaria, vaccines, antibodies and how maralria glides and invades RBCs featuring some amazing videos!

Gorgeous views of Lorne for tonight's #lorneiandi Conference Dinner at the Peak! Plus a few furry locals saying hi 🦘
Some amazing work being showcased in Poster Session II #lorneiandi 🫶🏽🦠 Looking forward to seeing everyone at The Peak later tonight 💃
Closing our session is Camila Faoro, post-doc @monashuniversity.bsky.social, giving us a snapshot of how an HLA allele shapes natural killer cell immunity in Oceania First Nations peoples. ✨🦠 Check out their poster tonight! #lorneiandi
Can yesterday’s vaccine protect against the variant SARS-CoV-2 strains of today? 🫁 Jack Jerome from RMIT revealed cross-reactive responses between viral variant peptides. Check out their poster #170 for more 🦠🧬 #lorneiandi
Thishan Illankoon from the Mater Research Institute gave us a snapshot of how the unfolded protein response impacts the immune response to respiratory infection with aging 🦠🐁👴 Check out their poster tonight! #lorneiandi
