Steph wins prize at British Transplant Society meeting
Congratulations to Steph who won a poster
prize for her work on correlating the identity of
humoral immunity with the incidence of BK
viremia post renal transplant. Well done!
More Exciting Paper News!
Congratulations to Calum on the publication of our latest contribution concerning the role of tissue resident NK cells and the potential to control HCMV infection in donor organs destined for transplant. This was a fantastic collaboration with Victoria Male (Imperial) and can all immunology questions be directed to either Calum or Viki!
Welcome Aisha!
We welcome Aisha to the laboratory this month - Aisha is supported by a PhD scholarship from the Qatari Embassy and will be working on the mechanisms controlling HCMV reactivation which will build on the work she carried out for her MSc project back in 2022.
Better get cracking!
