We are delighted to welcome three MSc students to the B Cell Immunity Lab for their research projects this summer. Matty (MSc Biomedical Sciences) is working with Dr Sonay Beyatli to investigate antibody responses and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in sputum samples using confocal microscopy. Aiman (MSc Neuroscience) and Assem (MSc Biomedical Sciences) have joined Olivia Payne’s project investigating Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) gene expression in B cells isolated from the

We are investigating the diversity of plasma cell populations in nasal polyps using single-cell RNA sequencing and BCR repertoire analysis. Our work aims to understand how distinct plasma cell subsets contribute to airway inflammation and antibody responses.
