Congratulations to Dr. Mariana Borsa (@nanaborsa) on this outstanding achievement and starting her own lab!🔬 We're incredibly proud to see a new lab branch out from our group. Wishing you and your team great success! 🚀👏
It was not a straightforward path, but it is happening: I am officially an Assistant Professor-to-be! 🎉 I am thrilled to announce that was awarded a @snsf_ch Starting Grant and will start my lab next year. Very grateful to all those that supported me over the last years 👇 (1/4)

Our big story on the importance of "stripy" T cells in antigen response, which started as a MSc Thesis 6 years ago, has finally made its way out in @ScienceMagazine! 🤩 Massive congrats to @BenHale95 & thanks to all collaborators particularly @LabOxenius & @blutspendesrk 🥰
Out now @ScienceMagazine: @BenHalePhD, @BerendSnijder & colleagues report that the internal architecture of T cells at the moment they are activated can influence their fate in response to antigen. 🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Our team recently enjoyed a great time at the @EMBO workshop on germinal centers in Galway 🇮🇪 Grateful for the inspiring talks and engaging discussions with experts in the field. We look forward to continuing to contribute to research in this area!
Amazing #EMBO workshop last week in Galway 🇮🇪 Three days of #Bcells and #germinalcenters with great talks and a lot of friends! Many thanks to the @MimZurich for the support! #EMBOlymphatictissues #EMBOworkshop #bNAbs #immunology #autoimmunity #ETHZ @LabOxenius

Extremely pleased to share that @Benmeier45 started his PhD in our lab! After a brilliant master thesis with us, he will join the #acd team and study asymmetric cell division during CD8 T cell differentiation. Very warm welcome and have a good start!

Asymmetric cell division gives rise to mixed-fate colonies, whereas symmetric cell division gives rise to effector-fate colonies. Asymmetric cell division functions as a safeguard for the generation of memory cells @LabOxenius cell.com/cell-reports/pdf/S2… cell.com/cell-reports/pdf/S2…
