Born out of the depths of Melbourne's first COVID lockdown... See our review on how disrupting organelle homeostasis triggers the innate immune system. Truly was a group effort😆 @sethmasters @science_sophie @AlanCHYu @laohamonthonkul @TReygaerts @lee_booty et al.

Super excited to be at #lorneiandi and present a poster on my favourite inflammasome NLRP1 tonight 😀
Interested in the OG #inflammasome, #NLRP1? Come see this stellar scientist, @CassHarapas tonight at #lorneIandI 🧫🧬🔬

So exciting to see this work come out! @science_sophie it's been inspiring to watch you persevere through this challenging project 👩🔬💪😁
Best #INTERNATIONALDAYOFWOMENINSCIENCE Ever! @SciImmunology has published my latest research. Innate immune sensing of cytoplasmic RNA and DNA is well defined, however a sensor of unwanted protein in the cytosol had not been identified, until now... 1/6

@JonasMocking Thanks! It took me like 2 hours record a 6 minute talk 😅 Some of that was technical issues though.

DPP9 deficiency leads to NLRP1 mediated autoinflammatory disease. My first PhD paper has made it to preprint and I'm excited 😁😁😁 See @sethmasters tweets below for a great summary!
An autoinflammatory syndrome caused by DPP9 deficiency, leading to NLRP1 inflammasome activation! Wonderful collaboration with Zhong lab and @ReversadeLab, led by @CassHarapas @KimSamirah and Kenneth Lay, with Jon Bernstein and Nevin Hatipoglu. 1/5
