@lizzy_darby @roscobacterium Congrats guys!! 😁

[Karanjot K Sandhu @13KaranSandhu]

Thanks to @BALRcommunity for the opportunity to present my work!

[Charlotte Summers @charlot_summers]

The next speaker in the @BALRcommunity postgrad researcher competition is Karanjot Sandhu @unibirmingham sharing her work about selective phagocytosis by MDMs of bacterial communities compared to single strains.

[Team Respiratory UoB @TeamRespiratory]

We’ve sent @kyliebelchamber @MikeyJ @13KaranSandhu to enjoy #BALR2024 can’t wait to hear all about it!

[James D Chalmers @ProfJDChalmers]

The @BALRcommunity British Association of Lung Research meeting starts on monday. Can't wait to welcome our colleagues from around the country to Dundee for 3 days of exciting science

[Lucy Crouch-Myers @LucyICM]

First pre-print from the lab!

@lizzy_darby @roscobacterium @McCarthy_Ronan @StaphLab @alanmcn1 @JessicaMABlair Congratulations Lizzy! 🎉👏🏽

[Mike Cox @MikeyJ]

As @kyliebelchamber says, this is a bit immunology, a bit macrophagy, a bit ageing and lots microbiology!

The interfaces between disciplines are where all the cool things are.

Had a great day teaching Key Stage 2 about environmental contamination yesterday at the Curiosity Cube @merckgroup. Excellent outreach initiative! 🦠 🔬@OutreachUOB

End of #microbio23 for me but these two did us proud

Some great talks, but particularly enjoyed the posters, some really lovely work on display there. @iruka_okeke lecture was just excellent, so too the members panel @MaringerLab @edcoakes

[Team Respiratory UoB @TeamRespiratory]

We're well represented at #microbio23 - Today
@13KaranSandhu
presents poster P268 on macrophage phagocytosis in relation to COPD. And Wed @DaniellaSpittle presents poster P673 on bacterial colonisation in AATD. Come and chat about respiratory bugs! 🫁🦠

[Karanjot K Sandhu @13KaranSandhu]

Super excited for a fun week of science at #MicroBio23! Will also be presenting my first ever poster at an international conference about macrophages and the respiratory microbiome (P268) 😁

[Mike Cox @MikeyJ]

Doing Monday and Wednesday next week and about in Brum between these times in case folk want to say hi! The respiratory microbiome group is represented by @13KaranSandhu on macrophages & the microbiome and @DaniellaSpittle on bacterial colonisation in 𝛼-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

[Team Respiratory UoB @TeamRespiratory]

🚨 We're looking for a Senior Research Technician!🚨To work with @DrAAronScott on a NIHR/ECAL clinical trial into e-cigarette use in COPD patients. If you have experience in innate immune cells, lung research and want to join a fun young team, apply now!

Fabulous day for our cohorts at the annual student symposium. Thank you to all who attended and to the student organisers @Calebgreen96 @emmavscholey @RinadBMahmoud @13KaranSandhu for making the day such a success

[Mike Cox @MikeyJ]

Pleased to say our MRes in Microbial Genomics website is live and will shortly open for recruitment for the 2023/24 academic year https://t.co/2EbZOgsDsd.
Genomics is emerging (has emerged!) as an essential tool for tackling global challenges in infectious disease

[@MRC_AIM_DTP @Impact_Aim_Mrc]

Great afternoon of 🎯, a fantastic way to end the introduction to the MRC AIM DTP. Thanks to our reps @emmavscholey @13KaranSandhu and Pauline for helping out and making the cohort feel welcomed 😊

[Aaron Scott @DrAAronScott]

Delighted to see this paper published! We characterised defective neutrophil fuctions in COVID-19 patients compared to non-COVID-19 pneumonia. @kyliebelchamber @shaun_thein drove this but a massive effort from the team under very challenging conditions https://t.co/1WGzPnUlD0
