New genetic discovery reveals key brake in human immune system - NCMBM - Norwegian Centre for Molecular Biosciences and Medicine

Norwegian Centre for Molecular Biosciences and Medicine (NCMBM) @ncmbm.bsky.social · Aug 27

The findings not only help patients with this rare immune disorder, but may also provide insights relevant to autoimmunity, common inflammatory diseases and cancer immunotherapy.

📜 Read more about the study 👉 tinyurl.com/mrhkm4fu

Researchers uncover how loss of a gene called MAP4K1 amplifies T cell responses, offering insights into immune disorders and potential therapies.

Norwegian Centre for Molecular Biosciences and Medicine (NCMBM) @ncmbm.bsky.social · Aug 27

This @nordicembl.bsky.social collaboration led by Saarela Janna and Meri Kaustio combined genomic analysis, functional immunology and CRISPR-based validation to uncover how HPK1, the gene product of MAP4K1, acts as a brake on T cell activation and function.

Gene regulatory network integration with multi-omics data enhances survival predictions in cancer

Norwegian Centre for Molecular Biosciences and Medicine (NCMBM) @ncmbm.bsky.social · Jul 8

🔍We are looking for 1–2 early-career Group Leaders to join our thriving and international research community.

📌 Why choose @ncmbm.bsky.social?

🤝 From Group leader Biswa Sahu:"There’s a real spirit of cooperation here; people are generous with their time, their expertise, and their ideas."

Picture of Biswa Sahu leaning on a table, with a quote to answer the question: How would you describe the scientific culture at NCMBM? His answer: "There is a real spirit of cooperation here, people are generous with their time, their expertise, and their ideas."
In the background, you can see a beehive like structure in shades of blue (top left corner) and in the bottom right corner, tips from a multichannel pipette over a 96-well plate, again in shades of blue.
