Fantasitic to see achievements of the brilliant Tash Theodosiou (not on here I think) from @unisouthampton.bsky.social finally in print! With @adamdale.bsky.social @dbogaert.bsky.social Prof. Rob Read, Prof. Chrissie Jones et al. Was a pleasure to be involved! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Controlled human infection model of Neisseria lactamica in late pregnancy investigating mother-to-infant transmission in the UK: a single-arm pilot trial

The infant respiratory microbiome is derived largely from the mother and is associated with downstream health and disease. Manipulating maternal respi…

As a first #ImmunoSky post, I’m excited to share our latest pre-print, by the fantastic Mitchell Zheng! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Our group is interested in virus-specific CD4 T cells, which means we often use in vitro stimulations (like the AIM assay) to find our cells of interest. 🧵 1/9

Are you London ID trainee post-PhD & interested in an ACL. May be able to create posts in 2025. Opportunities in Syphilis & STIs (UK & Global), Group A Strep (Global), Leishmaniasis & NTDs. If interested get in touch. @gpollara.bsky.social @drneilstone.bsky.social @thushan-desilva.bsky.social

@hicvac.bsky.social with Southampton Controlled Human Infection Group. Fantastic poster presentation by @alihill.bsky.social outlining T cell responses induced by the novel pertussis vaccine candidate, BPZE1 👏

Every year, >200K newborns die from sepsis. Our team used machine learning to develop a set of genes that can predict neonatal sepsis risk using at birth blood samples. www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...

Predictive gene expression signature diagnoses neonatal sepsis before clinical presentation

Despite appearing healthy at birth, neonates who later developed EOS already had distinct whole blood gene expression changes at birth, which enabled the development of a 4-gene predictive signature f...
