The long-discussed spectrum of #TB is reflected in the DNA #methylome of alveolar cells of TB-exposed individuals –evidence for #epigenetic modifications of pathways linked to #trainedimmunity. @SpringerNature #ClinicalEpigenetics

Our paper on #epigenetic signatures for #postCOVID19, a disease affecting millions which can emerge after even a mild infection, is now out in #ClinicalEpigenetics @SpringerNature @shum_sayyab : bit.ly/3VVPVot

Feels like #DNA methylation and #Epigenetics are the hot new trend in Science and labs across the world are racing to join the party... Good thing we're already here😎🧬👩‍🔬 #Research #Biomedicine #TrainedImmunity @LiU

Lerm Lab is back in Action- Glad to have the time away but excited to share what we've been working on. #Research #epigenetics #lablife

Today is #WorldScienceDay and we at Lerm Lab are trying to crack the code of #trainedimmunity and #epigenetics We are looking at novel ways to treat and PREVENT #tuberculosis and other disease epidemics around the world. #WorldHealth #Science

It's been 100 years of the #BCG saving lives and helping to protect us against #Tuberculosis. With rising #antibioticresistance, prevention really is our best defense, and #vaccines are an indispensable tool in that arsenal. Here's to being #TB free before the next 100 years.

Every time our bodies undergo an #infection, they learn. Sometimes it's by producing #antibodies but other times it's through the induction of #epigenetic changes. Understanding the mechanisms our bodies use to remember and learn from #disease can help us develop new #treatment

You might not expect that your #DNA could reveal your history of #infectiousdisease but our research continues to show that our bodies are taking note, and they have long memories... #epigenetics #immunology #tuberculosis #Covid

Even as cases continue to decrease and more people are #Vaccinated, #Covid-19 still has so much more to teach us. Our research looks at how infections, like Covid, affect our #DNA and induce #epigenetic changes in PBMC #immune cells

Could changes in your #DNA methylome reveal exposure to #Tuberculosis? Read about it in our recent preprint article, in which we also present #BCG-triggered cells who “corral” Mycobacterium tuberculosis. #DNAMethylation #CorrallingCells #Epigenetics doi.org/10.1101/2021.09.01.2…

This year Lerm Lab will have a representative joining the "Science Communication & Outreach" course @UU_University Excited to see what new knowledge and experience they bring back to the Lab! #scicommuu21 #SciCommSeptember #scicomm
