We are an Immunometabolism research group that studies how nutrients and metabolism affect immune cell function at #TrinityCollegeDublin👨🔬 Love #NK_cells, #Dendritic_cells and #T_cells but can be easily convinced to talk at length about metabolism in any immune cell 😄.

Congratulations Lorraine, very well deserved 😁

Very proud of my brilliant wife Lorraine who was formally inducted into the RIA along with some other luminaries including her good friend and colleague @ProfJohnCrown. #ria

Huge congrats to @NGBNeto on a FLIMpressive PhD Viva! 3 first and TEN coauthor papers, and a long lasting mark on microscopy in Dublin. Sincere appreciation for the great discussions with examiners @DavidFinlayTCD and @melissa_skala and @TrionaLally as chair.

A real pleasure to visit @ClionaOfarrelly’s lab to examine @FGiangrazi’s thesis.
From now on, I will insist that all PhD vivas end with the examiner sitting on Oscar Wilde!

What transporter is responsible for uptake of our recently discovered immunosuppressive metabolite (MNA)? And can we target it? Jessica, one of our newest graduate students is working on it! -SM1

Yesterday I circulated a plot I made about ERC grantees.
I made a horrible mistake: I mistook Ireland (IE) for Israel (IL). The data concern Israel and **not Ireland**.
Also, data covers 12 largest ERC host countries.
I apologize. Here is the correct plot.

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers?
AT, CH attract a lot.
FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive.
IE is a closed system.
Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go.
Plot made with @ERC_Research data.

The acidity of tumours impairs the effectiveness of anti-cancer therapies, according to a study led by Dr Ignacio Moraga, @UoDLifeSciences. The findings could lead to a new generation of immunotherapy treatments.

RCSI research published today in @NatureComms could help improve the effectiveness of #vaccines.
The study shows how our circadian clock is changing the shape of mitochondria within a key immune cell, influencing our vaccine response.
Thanks for taking me to see the view @fernojohan and @bjorkstrom_lab. Here in Bergen to examine their fantastic student Martha, who just aced her viva.

Researchers studied the effects of a 20-minute walk on the cognitive performance of a group of children.
This is fascinating…

How a book written in 1910 could teach you calculus better than several books of today
[Calculus Made Easy, by Silvanus P. Thompson, 1910 - full text pdf: http://bit.ly/2pThkf1 or with the table of contents: http://calculusmadeeasy.org]
Some great advise for young scientists from Ben Feringa:
👉withstand failure
👉show perseverance
👉take inspiration from small successes.

Really nice paper and great reminder that in vitro metabolism is not the same as in vivo metabolism. #Immunometabolism needs to move in vivo. Try #QUAS_R to look at in vitro or direct ex vivo glutamine uptake https://www.biorxiv.org/ 😉

One focus of our lab is to understand how altered nutrient levels in the Tumour micro environment #TME affect #NKcell cytotoxicity. https://stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13287-021-02377-8
We recently developed a new single cell assay (QUAS-R) to measure glutamine uptake through Slc1a5.
Check it out on BioRxiv https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.29.510040v1. Fun collaboration with Linda Sinclair and Sander van Kasteren
