Very pleased to announce that my Crick postdoc work has just been published in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Big thank you to @bpradel.bsky.social, @jaksonluk.bsky.social, @maxgg.bsky.social and the rest of the host-pathogen interactions in TB lab that made it all possible!

I am thrilled to share that the work from @maxgg.bsky.social team @crick.ac.uk engineering a lung-on-chip from human iPSC is published in #ScienceAdvances @science.org in the new year.

Lab-grown lung models have traditionally been grown from a mixture of cells, making it hard to tell how a disease or treatment will affect an individual person. These new models by @maxgg.bsky.social’s team and AlveoliX are grown from a single person’s stem cells ⤵️ www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-01...
