📣 Delighted to be speaking at the 15th Meeting of the Lupus Academy in Bratislava 🇸🇰 I’ll be taking part in the opening debate: ⚖️ Early biologic treatment in systemic lupus: necessary or overemphasized? 📅 3–5 September 2026 💻 In-person and virtual 🔗 lupus-academy.org/registrations/

🇬🇧 A busy but rewarding few days at #EULAR2026 in London One of my highlights was welcoming colleagues from South America, Middle East and Asia to @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social for a lupus preceptorship 🌍 A great opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from different healthcare systems 🤝

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the 14th Fellows’ Meeting in Nuremberg 🇩🇪 The energy and curiosity of the next generation of rheumatologists was striking, exactly what we need as we enter an era of complex, mechanism-driven therapies. Very grateful to the organisers for the invitation!

Great to spend the weekend in Budapest at the @eular.org Teaching & Learning Seminar. An inspiring few days focused on how we educate in rheumatology💡 I’m delighted to have recently taken on the role of Lead Author for Cell and Gene Therapies within the EULAR Course 🧬

🥇 Honoured to receive the Best Abstract Award at the European Lupus Meeting in Lisbon 🇵🇹 for our abstract “Functional iron deficiency drives metabolic reprogramming in classical monocytes in #SLE.” Grateful to an amazing team & the patients who make this research possible

Wonderful news to start 2026 with! Access to Obinutuzumab has been granted for patients living with lupus nephritis! www.nice.org.uk/news/article...

Really looking forward to speaking (for the 3rd year!) at the British Society for Immunology (@britsocimm.bsky.social) Foundations of Immunology course on 18 March 🧬 A brilliant one-day online course covering core immunology for all backgrounds 🧪 Register 👉 www.immunology.org/training/Fou...

Humbled to receive the Educational Supervisor Award at the GKT School of Medical Education Awards On rushing from clinic to the award ceremonially I past the med school library, which made me reflect on my own student days & the excitement of learning medicine 💡

Super proud of Rym Abida (MD and PhD student) presenting our data on the work she has been leading on investigating predictive biomarkers of sustained remission in #SLE at the British Society for Immunology conference last week! ⭐️ @britsocimm.bsky.social

“This is what you get, when you mess with us!” Radiohead at the O2. It’s been too long!

A huge thank you to the Emirates Society for Rheumatology for the very kind invitation to speak on the subject of CAR T Cell Therapy and T Cell Inhibitory Molecules at their annual meeting today in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪 #ESR2025

This weekend I had the huge honour of being invited to speak at the 25th Turkish National Rheumatology Congress in Antalya 🇹🇷 It was a pleasure to deliver two talks entitled “#SLE - Clinical Assessment and New Treatment Strategies” & “Cellular Therapies in Autoimmune Conditions” 🧬

Thank you to Lupus UK for asking me to participate in their 35th birthday celebrations! 🥳 On a personal level, the charity supported my very first steps into lupus research, which I will always be incredibly grateful for! Happy birthday Lupus UK! 🎂 🎥 youtu.be/F432b3u4Ju8?...

The seeing wasn’t great but was nice to have an opportunity to capture some shots of the moon as the clouds parted tonight 🔭

🌟 Fantastic visit to AstraZeneca’s Discovery Centre, Cambridge, to discuss the PERSONAL SLE study 💡From concept to reality in 2 years—thanks to amazing collaboration between academia, industry & our incredible patients! 🤝 Huge thanks to everyone involved 🧬 Exciting early data on the horizon! 🔬

A great (and very rapid) trip to Birmingham this morning. It was a pleasure to be invited to speak at the National Lupus Nurse Network meeting today

After a couple of months of trying, I took advantage of last night’s new moon, and with Saturn in opposition, I was finally able to capture a decent shot from my East London rooftop 🪐

Really interesting & important data here! HCQ does not prevent progression from an at risk state to full classification criteria #SLE ⚡️ I suspect we need to better define molecularly who will progress. My personal feeling is adaptive immunity may be the required target 🎯 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/art....
