Stoked to learn new techniques for developing physiologically relevant biofilm models. Fav part of being an interdisciplinary bioengineer - learning from the experts!

A fantastic two days training colleagues old and new from 8 UK/Irish universities, @UKHSA and a CRO to set up our ex vivo model of biofilm infection in cystic fibrosis lungs, and discussing collaborative projects and proposals.

Great hands on training in Warick University with @friendlymicrobe using the ex vivo pig lung model. I look forward to applying it to my own work @IrishResearch @MaynoothBiology #loveirishresearch

We had an excellent day - superb teaching from @PhoebeMSilva & @LittleJ3nny, and excellent to see a big group of colleagues from academia & industry to talk lung #infection, #CysticFibrosis and #antimicrobial innovations.

The killing heat has arrived. People are literally being burned alive, collapsing on sun-scorched surfaces and dying from extreme burns because surfaces are just that hot. Yes, really. This isn't dystopian fiction, it's our reality. And it's only going to get worse. 1/6

For as important as the outcomes of our research are, I am almost more enthusiastic about seeing the young people who come in to help us be involved in the research process and build their understanding of science as a positive process. Made my weekend here.

My daughter really enjoyed participating in a research study exploring autistic children’s response to pain. The aim is to further our understanding and improve pain management. The research is co-created by an autisic researcher and designed to include the children who volunteer

Please retweet. A trainee clinical psychologist at Cardiff university is interviewing people with #cysticfibrosis who can’t benefit from Kaftrio/Trikafta because of their genetics. Details below if that’s you and you’d like your voice heard👇
Dr Mulongwe Mwelwa@MulongweMwelwa18 Jul 2023
Hi everyone, recruitment is still open. If you are an adult with CF and cannot benefit from Kaftrio/Trikafta due to genetic factors, please consider participating. For further information, please contact me via email ([email protected]) or DM. @DrCatherine_OL @cftrust

Pleased to announce my review is now out in @tandfonline! In this review, @mmcbuckner and I have critically reviewed existing literature on how non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals and environmental pollutants promote transfer of plasmids carrying AMR genes. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Non-antibiotic compounds associated with humans and the environment can promote horizontal transfer...

Horizontal gene transfer plays a key role in the global dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR genes are often carried on self-transmissible plasmids, which are shared amongst bacteri...
