I’m so grateful to have been awarded 2 Ideas Grants ($2.8M total). I’m really excited to grow my team and see what we achieve over the next 4 years. Both projects are on Streptococcus pyogenes: 1) studying immune responses after infection, 2) developing a man therapy for iGAS.

Congratulations to our six National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Ideas Grants awardees and their hardworking teams, who have received a total of $9.3 million in funding for eight projects. A/Prof @DrDanikaHill (Infectious Diseases) and A/Prof @Ross Dickins…

Now open! Incl an IgA nephropathy project in my group. We will fill in gaps in pathogenesis, aiming to better match new/upcoming drugs to each patient, and to find angles for next generation of treatments to remedy. Please get in touch if you want more info.

We're looking for clinicians who are passionate about research to join our 3-year fully funded clinical PhD programme 🔬🩺 Projects are available with @ucl, @KingsCollegeLon and @imperialcollege 🗓️ Apply by 15 November 2024 crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

100% out of my comfort zone, but an honour & a privilege to be asked to speak at #Drivingdiscoveries today. Sharing my inner most thoughts & fears was hard, but essential to do so to give an understanding of why the research funded by @Kidney_Research is so imperative.

A special thank you to Melina, who captivated the room by sharing her story and highlighting what #KidneyResearch means to her and her son Charlie, who has nephronophthisis.  Hearing the emotion from her personal journey throughout the speech is a firm reminder that we are more…

LFDs are of course great for lots of pathogens. But we tested 5 different commercial #Mpox *antibody* LFDs to see their utility for diagnostic/surveillance use, and they aren't great...from 0% to 56% sensitive! thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Incredibly excited for the launch of Pathoplexus, which I've spent quite a bit of time helping with over the past year. New, open-source, infrastructure for sharing viral sequence data!

📢 We're excited to introduce Pathoplexus, a specialized sequence database for human viral pathogens! 🌍 🧬 Launching with 4 viruses, Pathoplexus.org combines modern open-source software with transparent governance to improve global pathogen sequence sharing. 1/14

Lots of summer #Covid about. If your are immune vulnerable and eligible get some tests in to ensure you get treatment early if you test positive 👇

COVID cases are rising. For those needing lateral flow tests (LFTs), nhs.uk has launched a new pharmacy finder. This tool helps you locate pharmacies offering free LFTs if you're eligible for COVID-19 treatments. Access the service at nhs.uk/COVIDtreatments.
