Investigation of the T cell responses against monkeypox virus will be led by Prof. Tao Dong at the CAMS-Oxford Institute and MRC Human Immunology Unit.
On Saturday 10th September 2022 12.30-4 pm, the MRC WIMM will be joining colleagues from the Medical Sciences Division at the Old Road Campus Research Building (ORCRB) as part of the Oxford Open Doors programme. This event is open to everyone.
A study from Davis Group is the first to describe the structure of the T-cell receptor when bound to an activating ligand. The findings shed light on an important trigger in the immune system, and suggest a completely new process by which cell receptors can be activated.
Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology and the MRC Human Immunology Unit have used 3D and live-imaging to show how resident memory B cells boost antibodies to fight influenza.
It is with great sadness that we learnt of the tragic death of Dr Ling Felce, a postdoctoral researcher within Professor Tao Dong's group at the MRC WIMM and MRC HIU, on Tuesday 1st March 2022.
Study from the Dong Group reveals key differences in the adaptive immune responses of patients with mild vs. severe COVID-19, highlighting a potential new vaccine target.
The Lymph nodE single-cell Genomics AnCestrY (LEGACY) Network will create an ethnically diverse single-cell atlas of the response to commonly used vaccines such as flu vaccines with a focus on responses in lymph nodes.
A trial of a new inhaled antiviral drug for COVID-19 has shown positive results and the drug is now moving into a larger international phase 3 trial of hospitalised patients. MRC HIU's Professor Ling-Pei Ho is one of the main co-authors on the paper.
