The discovery not only points to possible ways to prevent or treat the condition, but could help explain why symptoms similar to those of long COVID are also commonly seen in a number of post-viral

"We alone query and question,.We alone, despite how small,.And so it goes that unto us.The cost of knowledge rightly falls". Just putting this here for a Friday - a reminder that the beauty we see through the lens of science is worth the toll of it all. Poem by my sister.

Was certainly a step out of my comfort zone to present work from @Cambridge_Uni on dysregulated iron homeostasis in #COVID19 to so many #iron experts! But what a wonderful group of people and such a fantastic event. @eic2022 I've learnt so much!

Starting a @Cambridge_Uni postdoc on the other side of the planet mid-pandemic was worth the uncertainty to join the team behind this cracker of a collaboration. An extensive investigation of the immune response to SARS-CoV2 now published in @ImmunityCP !

So gratifying to see our work characterising the blood T cell receptor repertoire of ankylosing spondylitis patients published in @ACR_Journals! Infinite thanks to co-authors and contributors at @qut_ihbi, @UQMedicine, @unimelb and @TRI_info. #immunology.

Holding my breath to see if I will be allowed out through closed Aus boarders in 3 wks to start my first postdoc at @Cambridge_Uni Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease 😁. Beyond excited for a new adventure!! Now can my flights stop getting cancelled. .

AS patients shared unique immune cells (T-cell ‘clones’) that controls lacked! It seems these recognise a common stimuli, because their surface receptors are identical (very unlikely by chance). Are they the culprits of the commotion at the spine? That's TBC. #ThisIsMyScience.

What is the immune system doing? How do we get it to back off and reassess priorities (like watching out for viruses #notnamingnames). We sequenced >12,000,000 immune cells across AS patients and controls, getting a glimpse of the immune response in this disease. #ThisIsMyScience

I work on the condition ankylosing spondylitis (gosh what… so: ‘ankylosis’=‘bone fusion’, spondyl=‘ vertebrae’). A disease where inflammation of the pelvis/spine causes disfiguration of bone and fusion of the vertebrae. Very painful. #Genetics is involved but… #ThisIsMyScience

It seems #immunology is making the media lately. It’s a good time to acknowledge how hard our immune system works to keep us healthy. Honestly, it really is our #MVP from day dot!. Sometimes though there is confusion surrounding what we need defending from. #ThisIsMyScience

Hi All! I’m excited to participate in the splendid #PintAUOnline initiative by @pintofscienceAU to spotlight Aussie science from home!.My name is Aimee, I’m an immunogeneticist (if we’re doing labels) 6 months out of my PhD and #ThisIsMyScience on #OurBody.

Anyone else prepped for some bedroom bioinformatics tomorrow? And the next day, and the next day. 😅.Stay home, stay healthy guys! #AloneTogether.#COVID19Aus #AcademicTwitter
