👉We asked: "What's a 'normal' COVID vaccine response?" 🤔

Turns out there's 2 kinds of 'normal' in healthy adults 🧐 — and this has implications for protection vs. future variants 🤒.🧵 1/n

@DrDanikaHill Congratulations! Look forward to hearing all about it.

[Danika Hill @DrDanikaHill]

I’m so grateful to have been awarded 2 Ideas Grants ($2.8M total). I’m really excited to grow my team and see what we achieve over the next 4 years.

Both projects are on Streptococcus pyogenes: 1) studying immune responses after infection, 2) developing a man therapy for iGAS.

[EdjCarr @EdjCarr]

@Hermsnz Oh dear. Hope you’re ok.

[Kidney Research UK @Kidney_Research]

Now open!

Incl an IgA nephropathy project in my group.

We will fill in gaps in pathogenesis, aiming to better match new/upcoming drugs to each patient, and to find angles for next generation of treatments to remedy.

Please get in touch if you want more info.

100% out of my comfort zone, but an honour & a privilege to be asked to speak at #Drivingdiscoveries today.
Sharing my inner most thoughts & fears was hard, but essential to do so to give an understanding of why the research funded by @Kidney_Research is so imperative.

LFDs are of course great for lots of pathogens. But we tested 5 different commercial #Mpox *antibody* LFDs to see their utility for diagnostic/surveillance use, and they aren't great...from 0% to 56% sensitive!

Incredibly excited for the launch of Pathoplexus, which I've spent quite a bit of time helping with over the past year. New, open-source, infrastructure for sharing viral sequence data!

[EdjCarr @EdjCarr]

@SamBarrell1 @TheCrick Thanks 🙏 Sam.

[Professor Alex Richter @AlexRichter3]

Lots of summer #Covid about. If your are immune vulnerable and eligible get some tests in to ensure you get treatment early if you test positive 👇

[The Francis Crick Institute @TheCrick]

Crick researchers in @bealelab have figured out how cells can detect when their compartments get damaged or infected.

Our latest study: beginning to highlight the difficulties caregivers can face picking up their child’s prescriptions. We need to have a conversation about how to tackle this issue
