3 great days at the SIC Summer School in Hornbæk with inspiring talks, short talks from young researchers, poster sessions, networking, and a trip to Esrum Abbey.
Thank you to all speakers, participants, organisers, and the LEO Foundation for supporting the summer school.
See you 24–26 May 2027.
Lim lab investigates: Helminth worm-infected mice give birth to pups with elevated anti-viral defenses in their lungs, leaving them more resistant to infection by respiratory viruses such as influenza and RSV. What causes these protective effects? molbio.princeton.edu/news/2026/wh...

🎉 First preprint from our lab! Regulatory T cells are selectively recruited to regenerating but not scarring mouse digit tips, driving macrophage-mediated bone remodeling essential for regrowth. A new axis of innate/adaptive immune cooperation in mammalian regeneration! #immunology #regeneration
When Macrophages Disappear, Skin Blood Vessels Age!
Check out our new study @nature.com that uncovers how the loss of capillary-associated macrophages with age blocks vessel repair and blood flow, revealing a new cellular trigger of tissue aging. #Aging #Immunology

The FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award aims to highlight the major contributions made by female scientists to #LifeSciences research. Winners of the award are inspiring role models for future generations of #WomenInScience
Nominate a scientist by 15 May: www.embo.org/the-embo-com... 🧪
Capillary-associated macrophages are selectively lost over time, contributing to impaired vascular repair and reduced tissue perfusion in older mice.
Nominees should be female scientists working in an EMBC Member State or FEBS member country, who have made outstanding contributions to life sciences research and significantly advanced our…
Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen.
