#YoungVIIN2025 was surprisingly fun and way more informative than I expected. Loved all the talks! And headed home with new insights and a few things I definitely want to look up later! 🤓

Huge thanks to all the organisers, you did an amazing job!
#VIINYIS

Great energy from Wei-Che Chan as they showcase a 'microfluidic chip' that enables monitoring Ca2+ dynamic of individual cells! A novel tool used to discover: "Dynamic Single-Cell Microfluidics Uncovers Heterogeneous Mechanisms of Response to Anti-PD-1 Therapy" 🔬

#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Diving into more unconventional T cell research today! 🔬

Xiaoyue Zhang, my labmate at @thedohertyinst.bsky.social, is presenting her amazing work: "Macrophages play critical roles in MR1 antigen presentation and regulation of MAIT cell immunity against bacteria".

#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Vic Lin is on stage now presenting "Altered gastrointestinal permeability and immune profiles in the Shank3B-/- mouse model of autism and modulation by the microbial metabolite-sequestering drug".

🧬 Learning how gut dysfunction and autism are linked is genuinely inspiring!
#YoungVIIN2025

Another great science bite from You Min Ahn @latrobeuni.bsky.social on "First molecular insight into HLA-C contribution to COVID-19 outcome" 🧬🦠

And now learning from amazing Nancy Wang of @mcri.bsky.social about the immune system response to Salmonella infection: Novel vaccines and diagnostics might be on the way!

🐭▶️👩🏻 "From mouse to human: harnessing CD4+ T cell-mediated immunity against Salmonella"

Another interesting talk from Jesse Thomas about infection in chicken to keep :
🔬 Designing Improved Diagnostic Assays for IBDV Detection in Australia

And a good reminder that infections in chickens matter as they make up a huge part of the global meat supply! 🐔❤️

#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Great talk from @ludivine-grzelak.bsky.social from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social on "Revealing dose and repeat effects of a novel Influenza vaccine on humoral immunity".
Always excited when flu vaccine research moves ahead. More of this, please! 😌💉

#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Lunch time for scientists to feed their brain 🧠😋

#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Another exciting Science Bite by Kavitha Wilson Rajaratnam on how a common stomach bacteria escape your immune system!
🔬"Identification of immunomodulatory proteins in Helicobacter pylori-derived extracellular vesicles."

#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Now listening to Dr Mitra Ashayeripanah sharing their approach to develop more immunogenic bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) strains for vaccination: "Enhanced immunogenicity in mouse by recombinant BCG prime and protein boost based on latency antigen Rv1733c and/or reactivation antigen RpfE".

Great energy from Long Huynh from bio21 Institute as they walk us through their reseach on "Expansion microscopy" revealing how Kelch 13 mutations impair feeding in artemisinin resistant Plasmodium parasites!
Malaria is in the spotlight at #YoungVIIN2025 ! 🦠
#VIINYIS

Kicking off the Science Bites session with 13 exciting talks! 🤓#YoungVIIN2025 #VIINYIS

Totally loved the talk by Dr Marcel Doerflinger on How to become a Laboratory Head ...for Dummies!
My main takeaway: chase the science that excites you, be patient with the process, and sooner or later those big opportunities (the so-called ‘luck’) will come your way.
