Physiologist with an interest in diabetic retinopathy. Often seen walking the family dog. All views my own.

Interesting #physiology research from @tim_m_curtis & colleagues at @WWIEM_QUB exploring the mechanisms of possible drug treatment for diabetic retinopathy.

@LopaLeach @Tim_M_Curtis @WWIEM_QUB @DiabetesUK @physoc Will be interesting to examine in future work if the recently-reported ultrastructural changes in the retinal neurovascular unit with diabetes (https://t.co/VvlVFneYEA) are prevented with 2-HDP.

One more week to apply for PhD to study the role of the #vascular #CircadianClock in #DiabeticRetinopathy @QUBBelfast @WWIEM_QUB @Tim_M_Curtis @AndrianaMargar2 https://t.co/4jVJx1SSgi

[Eleni Beli @belielen]

We have a #PhDposition in my laboratory investigating the role of the #CircadianClock disruption in #DiabeticRetinopathy. The candidate will be working at @QUBelfast among a group of experts on diabetic retinopathy @WWIEM_QUB @Tim_M_Curtis

I am biased but Safi's is doing a fantastic job leveraging a new research model. Some new biology...including (spoiler alert)... the effect of the T6SS...

Do bacteria target mitochondria using the same weapons as they do to compete each other? YES. Check our work on how Klebsiella T6SS targets the mitochondria @NatureComms. We also shed new light into mitochondria located innate receptor NLRX1. https://t.co/YgSLtLqkz8
