Even though I'm trying not to use this app anymore, I thought I'd share this! Take a look if you want to find out a little bit more about my research on #asthma #pericyte #therapeutics
Welcome our ECP Dr Rebecca Bignold, a Research Fellow from Aston University. Dr Bignold’s research focuses on elucidating the role of pericytes in airway remodeling associated with allergic asthma 🤧

After a travel day yesterday totalling over 22 hours, I've finally made it to Winnipeg for the YIM2024 conference!! 🇨🇦🫁 #asthma #earlycareerresearcher
Fantastic time today at #miflow2024. Very insightful presentations from all involved. Thanks @miflowgroup for organising a great conference and for voting me 2nd place for my oral presentation! #Midlandsinnovation #flowcytometry
Proud that research from my PhD and postdoc has been selected to be part of this scheme. I'm looking forward to collaborating with others to develop our new asthma therapeutic! 🫁
Delighted to be supported by SPARK The Midlands to help get our research from bench to bedside. @AstonBioscience @AstonUniversity @UKRI_News @AnneliseGar @R_Bignold

Check out @RossLabGroup paper in @NatureComms. Finally a co-author with @JennWillis_ ! Hopefully more to come soon! @MIBTP1 @AstonBioscience @AstonHLS
Congrats @RossLabGroup - this great paper in
@NatureComms demonstrates (1) that nanotopography can maintain immunomodulatory MSC phenotype and (2) identify activity metabolites to be identified allowing large scale culture.
