Check out our new review discussing novel immunometabolic mechanisms underlying inflammation, metabolomic techniques and potential metabolite biomarkers of chronic inflammatory disease!

Special focus is on #efferocytosis #IL-10 and #trainedimmunity

Look what I made! 🦋 With help from Scholar Goggler scholargoggler.com

Looks about right for now - but will hopefully seeing a lot more #fungi and #metabolism here soon 🤞🏼

Had a brilliant time at the Victorian Infection & Immunity Network Young Investigator Symposium two weeks ago. Learned about cool science, shared my own data (fungi are real!) and met many lovely people. Super chuffed to have won the runner-up ECR talk prize, too 💃
