In this final episode of the series, we meet Dr Emily Thornton @emilyethornton from the Human Immunology Unit. We explore her path into mucosal immunology, and how new research is revealing the mechanisms behind how our immune system senses and scans the gut microbiome. In a recent paper they identify an overlooked cell type that help the gut immune cells to interpret the environment and respond to microbes.

How planetary iron shaped life on Earth
Two researchers working in very different areas; planetary formation and immunity. At a chance meeting they realised they had a shared interest, iron. Their new cross-disciplinary paper unravels the importance of iron availability in the evolution of life In this episode, Professor Hal Drakesmith from the MRC Human Immunology Unit at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, and Jon Wade, an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford, discuss their journey to collaborating, and their recent publication in the Journal PNAS.
