Celebrating a second journal cover from the department this month!

Congratulations to BLS Lecturer Dr Stefanie Menzies @MenziesLab who has co-authored research featured on the front cover of Nature Magazine!

[Menzies Lab @MenziesLab]

I’m looking forward to developing these and keeping up the new connections and collaborations.

Had a great time at the AI in the Biosciences (AIBIO-UK) Sandpit at Uni. of Nottingham - many thanks to the organisers. It was really encouraging to see cross-disciplinary conversations turn into excellent project ideas so quickly.

Looking forward to speaking at the IST European Section Symposium today as an invited speaker. @ISToxinology

I’ll be discussing how in vitro assays of human targets help us understand the activity of mamba neurotoxins, offering new insights beyond traditional animal models.

Our special issue is receiving its first papers! I am excited to see it come to life. From natural to AI-designed peptides, I hope this collection will inspire new ways to tackle antimicrobial resistance and other promising applications.

[Andreas Laustsen @AndreasLaustsen]

New article from the lab, where we describe how we developed a "#Nanobody-based recombinant #antivenom for #cobra, #mamba, and #rinkhals bites" our in @Nature!

Modern biotech can deliver safer, scalable & affordable treatments for snakebite - a neglected tropical disease killing 100k+ people annually.

Excited to share a new paper led by @AndreasLaustsen, @AnneLjungars, Tim Jenkins, @ShirinAhmadi11 and Nick Burlet. It was a privelege to be a part of this amazing team!

We showed that a cocktail of 8 nanobodies protected mice against 17/18 African elapid snake venoms - preventing death and tissue damage.🐍
