Member Spotlight: Achille Broggi Explores Gut Immunity - Biweekly newsletter of the International Cytokine & Interferon Society

I currently work at the Center for Immunology Marseille Luminy (CIML) in Marseille, France where I lead the team “Innate immunity at mucosal sites”. In our team we are interested in understanding innate immune responses in the intestine, and in particular how immune cells, epithelial cells and microbes communicate during homeostasis, inflammation and repair.

My opinion on unprovoked attacks on a sovereign nation is the same, whether it's Russia attacking Ukraine, or Israel attacking the Iranian regime....this is illegal and terrible. War is never good. People are dying. #peace

Just heard @erc.europa.eu will increase funding for grantees relocating to #Europe. Researchers based in the US or elsewhere in the world, can apply for €1 million beyond the usual max amount to set up a lab or #research team, if scientifically justified. Now to be €2 million.

@iwriteok.bsky.social also for context from a biologist... chelation sequester divalent ions. This includes heavy metals like lead but also essential elements like calcium and magnesium that are extremely important for all biological processes
