Phenomenal work by Qian (Sophie) Shen and Carola Vinuesa @VinuesaLab on how TCF1 and LEF1 promote B-1a cell homeostasis and regulatory function, presented by Carola at #IUIS2025. Read more in the paper released yesterday in Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

It was an honour to present at the Third International School on Advanced Immunology. We found that DECTIN-1 induces Treg differentiation and is a modifier protein of severe #autoimmunity, which finally explained a 20 year mystery of incomplete penetrance in a family with a CTLA4 LoF mutation. @ImmunoSens @JCSMR @carovinuesa @PabloCanete6 @VinuesaLab

Carola Vinuesa’s story lies at the intersection of an unusual Venn diagram: her expertise in genetics overlaps with an interest in feminism, social justice and the sway that science can hold in a court of law go.nature.com/4bFU47j

ALT "The Francis Crick Institute has quickly established a global reputation for its work at the frontiers of science. I relish the challenge of building on that work. I also want to pay tribute to Sir Paul Nurse, without whom the Francis Crick Institute would not be the world-leading institution it is today." - Edith Heard

Professor Carola Vinuesa, the scientist behind the gene mutation discovery that's led to the new Kathleen Folbigg inquiry, has described Folbigg’s imprisonment as heartbreaking and cruel.

Academy Fellow (& now @RoyalSociety Fellow) Prof @CarolaVinuesa is making strides in not only immunology but also genetics including a discovery that may lead to the release of Kathleen #Folbigg in what could prove to be a historic miscarriage of justice.

The identification of a genetic mutation that causes lupus could revolutionise treatments for the autoimmune disease, for which there is no cure.
"It has been a huge challenge to find effective treatments for lupus," said #ANUExpert @carovinuesa.
