Hey, I'm doing an Abseil from #TheFrancisCrickInstitute to raise money for #CancerResearchUK this Sat, 30. Sep. Cancer affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at some point, but the more we research the better we can help fight it!
So,👇🏼

It's a wrap! Thank you all for coming to our 2024 #LIPNsmposium.  We hope to see you next year!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

First up in our last ECR session is Akshay Sabnis! A great presentation showcasing how plasmids maintain low mobility to prevent eradication in nature!

[Jessica Blair @JessicaMABlair]

Thank you so much for the invitation to the @LondonPostdoc network today. I’ve been absolutely bowled over by the cool
Science and fantastic presentations. The future of infection research is certainly bright! 🤩

[Vincenzo Torraca @VinTorraca]

It was great to be part of the discussion panel about careers inside and outside academia at @LondonPostdoc! Lots of great questions from the audience! I hope I defended well the academic path!

It's time for our keynote. @JessicaMABlair has joined us from @unibirmingham for a tour de force presentation on AMR and the "ins and outs" of antibiotic accumulation in gram negative bacteria!

The final talk in this session: @Ines_DdO shows us how Salmonella typhimurium uses SteE to elegantly hi-jack non-canonical STAT3 singalling to shape its survival niche!

Next up: @Priyank35907360 has deconstructed the effector networks during C. rodentium infection. It's all about context!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

All fuelled up for our careers discussion! We are delighted to have Alycia Draper, Caitlin Davies, Rosie Brooks, Vincenzo Torraca, Catherine Kibirge, Ben Johnson and Michela Mazzon with us today! Our panel spans an impressive range of careers! So much food for thought!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

We're starting the afternoon session with a talk by @ChandniStratech from one of our sponsors @Stratech_UK !

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

...(2) Make sure to check out our sponsor stalls (complete the bingo for the prize draw this afternoon) and (3) have a chat with our mental health first aiders to learn how your institutes provide MH support!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

We've got a busy lunch break: Grab some food and drink and (1) head to the poster display area for some more exciting infection science! There is an audience vote for the best poster at the end of the day! ...

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

We're heading straight into our poster flash talks! @JamesBarnacle Amy Jacobs and @Skelly_Dally giving us a brief overview over their findings! Find them for a chat in the poster session!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

Some in depth molecular virology: @ounusantos presents his intricate work about SARS-CoV-2 RdRp and how it interacts with its genome! So much to discover here! Thanks for zooming in when your tavel was disrupted!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

Our next speaker: @souvik_naskar presents his great work on the twisting tales cyanobacter uses ESCRT-III-like proteins can tell and teach us about membrane dynamics and remodelling.

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

Energised into session 2: @mjdelves showcasing his fascinating work on the role of mitochondrial respiration in male and female P. falciparum gametocytes.

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

Great science in session 1! Time for some refreshments in our mid-morning #LIPNsymposium break! We have some great sponsors with us today - don't miss out on chatting to them and participating in our sponsor bingo, there are prizes to win!

[London Infection Network for/by ECRs (LINE) @LondonECR]

Our next speaker in session 1: @ScientIni presenting a deep-dive into the haematopoietic dynamics during CMV infection. Tour de force unveiling how the virus can shape myelopoiesis and govern transcriptomic and epigenetic programmes.

[Chandni_Stratech @ChandniStratech]

Looking forward to meeting you all at #LIPNSymposium 2024 today! Drop by our @Stratech_UK stand to find out about our #research solutions and have a chance to win a @giantmicrobe!
