Immunology at the MRC WIMM
For International Day of Immunology 2024, we spoke with three scientists from the MRC Translational Immune Discovery Unit about their research.
Professor Hal Drakesmith and his lab are researching how iron and anaemia influence immunity and infectious diseases.
Dr. Agne Antanaviciute, a Junior Group Leader in the Simmons and Koohy Groups, works at the intersection of computational biology and tissue immunology to understand how immune cells colonise in human tissues.
Jan Rehwinkel leads a research group investigating the roles of nucleic acids in the immune response.

How can genetic markers help tailor treatment for people with drug-resistant multiple myeloma?
Просмотров 93Год назад
Drug resistance makes Multiple myeloma difficult to treat. Researchers at the MRC WIMM have identified genetic causes of drug resistance, paving the way for personalised treatment to reduce the likelihood of drug resistance. doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020007081 doi.org/10.1182/blood-2021-150166 This animation was commissioned by the Oxford Centre for Haematology and created by Science Animated.
T cell Immunotherapy Explained
Просмотров 221Год назад
An introduction to the use of T cells in the treatment of blood cancer. Blood cancer cells can hide from the immune system and cause leukaemia. New research from the Chakraverty Group (MRC MHU) in collaboration with the Vyas Group (MRC MHU) and Professor Borrow (Jenner Institute), has shown that immune cells called T cells can be genetically modified in the lab, to better target leukaemia. Thes...

What can you expect if you think you have Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?
Просмотров 19 тыс.Год назад
Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, occurs when a blood clot forms inside a deep vein, usually in a leg. The condition can cause severe illness and death if left untreated, so it is vital that you seek help if you experience symptoms. The Oxford Haemophilia and Thrombosis Centre helps diagnose patients with suspected DVT and directs them to appropriate treatment. Links: www.ouh.nhs.uk/haematology/ser...
