Join us for Neurospicy Science Hour during the Department of Pathology Family Day for a calm, curiosity-led science experience designed for wonderfully wired minds. 📍Department of Pathology, Tennis Court Road 📆 28 March 2026 🕘 9-10am Neurospicy Science Hour is a bookable, quieter session created for children and families who benefit from a more predictable, low-sensory environment. During this hour, the space will be closed to the general public, helping to keep noise leve

Ever wondered how viruses outsmart our immune system? Our review ‘Viral manipulation of the HLA class I antigen processing and presentation pathway’ provides a comprehensive updated overview of the field. Understanding immune evasion is key to develop better therapies. We are very excited that this work is now published in Frontiers in Immunology !

It was great to attend the British Society for Immunology (BSI) annual Congress 2025 in Liverpool! Fantastic to see Dominic present his poster and engaging in insightful discussions about our research. The meeting featured inspiring talks, and it was wonderful to reconnect with fellow immunologists and make new connections. We left the congress full of new ideas and excited about the collaborations that lie ahead.

The revised version of our manuscript Reanalysis of Immunopeptidomics Datasets Provides Mechanistic Insight into TAPBPR-Mediated Peptide Editing on HLA-A, -B and -C Molecules has now been published in Wellcome Open Research!

We’re excited to share some updates to our team! 📘 Welcome to our new MPhil student Jade joined our lab last week. She is an MPhil student in the Infection Biology and Molecular Immunity (IBaMI) programme. 🎓 From RA to PhD Dominic (Research Assistant in the lab since March 2024) has officially started his PhD journey! 🔬 New Research Assistant In October we also welcomed a new Research Assistant to the team! Stay tuned for updates as our research progresses! Want to learn

Are you passionate about research and looking to work in the overlapping fields of virology and immunology? Or do you know someone who is?

With >600 visitors, the Family Day at the Department of Pathology was a huge success! A massive thank you to everyone who attended and made it memorable. If you missed it, don't worry! You can still experience the fun by playing the Infection Game online.

Arwen received a Royal Society Research Grant 🎉

We are excited that The Infection Game 🦠🎮 is now available as a TES teaching resource at GCSE and A level.

We had a great time at the 2024 Cambridge Festival, bringing our science to the public at the Schools Day and the Family Day at the Department of Pathology.

Welcome to the lab, Dominic Nolan !
