BacPathLiverpool

Bacterial Pathogenesis & Immunity group led by Aras Kadioglu. We work on host-pneumococcal interactions; carriage & transmission, co-infections, Tregs, vaccines

[BacPathLiverpool @BacPathLiv]

Fellowship candidates! Want to join us and work on pneumococcus, GAS, GBS or Pseudomonas aeruginosa? Interested in host pathogen interactions, infection immunology and vaccine research? Get in touch! We can discuss projects and sponsorship of your fellowship proposal.

[The Pandemic Institute @ThePandemicInst]

Did you know we have a Pre-Clinical Studies Unit? It offers clinically relevant models of infection and disease for testing new vaccine candidates, drugs and therapies. Find out more here: https://t.co/OESQEvzJoe

This was a great collaboration spanning 3 continents (!) and led very successfully by @ShadiaKhandaker - very interesting results too!

How does immune response diversity impact babies' defence against Group B Strep? Our study shows key differences in women from Bangladesh, the UK & Malawi. Could this influence global GBS vaccine strategies? https://t.co/dtXl5meS1d #GBS #VaccineResearch #GlobalHealth @BacPathLiv

🚨New paper alert🚨
So happy to finally share this! now out @CellReports ✨ We explored the hierarchical structure that controls virulence in Pseudomonas🦠, finding a mutational hotspot that acts as a genetic switch for hypervirulence💀 and AMR💊
