Raquel Bartolomé-Casado receives Norwegian Society for Immunology 2024 Research Award for work published in Nature
Dr. Casado is shared 1st author on the paper “Immune microniches shape intestinal Treg functions” published in Nature. This work was conducted during her postdoc stay in Professor Sarah Teichmann’s lab (Wellcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK), in collaboration with Professor Fiona Powrie’s lab (University of Oxford, UK).
Dr. Casado has spent several years working in Norway with gut immunology in the Jahnsen lab at Dept. of Pathology, and was recently recruited to the Lothe lab at Institute for Cancer Research to pursue her academic career and combine research interests in gut immunology with translational research on colorectal cancer.
Dr. Casado was also 3rd author of another recent Nature paper from the Teichmann lab (Nov 2024).
She will continue this collaboration in new research projects on colorectal cancer.
