🔬 Group meeting!

Our colleague @carlamr27 has presented about her #TBSPECTRUM secondment at #IPMN in Romania, where she learnt about the clinical management of patients with #TB. She also helped setting up the study protocol & REDCap database.

It was a pleasure having Monica from @i3S_UPorto for her #TBSPECTRUM secondment.
She learnt about #TB clinical management & prepped visual materias for a prospective cohort study. She also got to explore #BCN & expand her professional circle!

📢 New paper is out!

We recently published an opinion article in @FrontMicrobiol on the impact of #micronanoplastcis on pathogenic microorganisms.

Here we discuss the main findings up to now, and pinpoint the most urgent gaps to address.

[The Union @TheUnion_TBLH]

The @UnionConference was a vital opportunity for the lung health community to identify solutions to the devastating funding cuts and political instability.

During #WCLH2025, Jose Dominguez spoke to @el_pais about the real world implications: https://t.co/F8VUCyG521
