⏱️Anaphylaxis can turn an ordinary day into a medical emergency within minutes.
📣At IAI Sri Lanka, we’re marking Anaphylaxis Awareness Day 2025 and continuing the work we began with the Allergy Avengers Walk & Run to raise awareness and save lives.

🗣 Calling on all running enthusiasts, athletes and anyone who’s down for a healthy dose of fun, in an effort to raise awareness on anaphylaxis- an allergic condition that debilitates many lives in Sri Lanka- and funds for adrenalin autoinjectors for patients with anaphylaxis! 🗣

If you're unwell, there are actions you can take to reduce the risk of spreading infections to others:
🏠 staying at home if you're unwell
🧼 washing hands regularly
🪟 opening a window when meeting others indoors

Happy to share our paper on viral loads as a predictor of clinical disease severity in #dengue.
Viral loads did not appear to associate with subsequent disease outcomes, irrespective of the disease classification used.

A few highlights at the ICIS (International Cytokines and Interferon Society) in Seoul, with a few delegates representing Sri Jaywardenepura (SJP) University, Sri Lanka. The venue (Coex) houses a stunning 'futuristic' library that almost steals the show. english.visitseoul.net/attra…

I talked about my most recent first-in-study outcomes of bottom-up engineering a pathological cascade of renal calcification at the cellular level on an organ-on-a-chip platform with M1/M2 macrophages, as a bioengineer, alongside my PhD/Honours research experiences on the way🧫👩🔬
Human Proximal Tubule on a Chip. Where I literally talk about the Kidney-Chip (more soon). This is a co-culture protocol emulatebio.com/wp-content/up… and a shout-out to my 2016 opinions on organ-level function on a micro-chip, Nature Portfolio ❤️🤹♀️😺🤝😽👩🔬❤️📚 xitter.cf/Jeew333T/status/112740…

Happy to share our preprint on how the pathogenicity of NS1 possibly depends on the type of lipids it interacts and previous #dengue severity.

So honored to be featured by @pulse_lk on the International day for women in science.
Meet Professor Neelika Malavige (@GMalavige), a Sri Lankan scientist ranked among the World’s Top 2% in 2021 by Stanford University.
As a fellow woman in STEM, she inspires young women and girls to embrace their dreams.
