๐ The CSRI, with ยฃ4.2Million from @open_phil, is launching a clinical trial of two new oral treatments for snakebite envenoming, potentially offering safer, more accessible care for millions in rural areas.

Thrilled to start the week with the news my PhD research looking at the extensive venom variation seen across the geographical range of the puff adder (Bitis arietans) has been published! Getting this paper out has been a long time coming! ๐https://t.co/471Fs09BMa
Hey fellow venom ECRs,
At the last IST conference in Singapore, a major topic was the need to establish a better networking platform form the next generation of toxinologist. As such (with some delay) I have set up a dedicated X community for us, where we can exchange on all topics relevant. The content needs, of course, to be posted from its members, so a first step would be to catch as many venom/toxinology ECRs as possible.
So please, follow the link below and join in if you are interested. This could be a first step towards a better network among the young venom researchers!

Heading home after a great week @grcvenom and #grsvenom! Wonderful opportunity to share the work we've been doing @CSRIatLSTM assessing antivenom efficacy! Leaving with plenty of new ideas for the next stage of my research! ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ฌ๐
Dr. Charlotte Dawson (@CDawson171) is a 2ndyear postdoctoral researcher at @CSRIatLSTM!
Their talk "Assessment of Antivenom Efficacy as Part of the Reintroduction of Fav Afrique to the Global Market" is in our Technologies and Applications for Venoms Session #GRSVenom24
NEW POST: Isabella Hubbard from LSTM raises awareness of scorpionism.
SCORPIONISM? Why haven't I heard of that? Bella explains exactly what and why!

We are looking for a PDRA to join our team to work on our new AMS Springboard grant with @CassieModahl to establish organ-on-a-chip and organoid models of human skin and kidney to investigate tissue damage by snakebite.
Would you like to know more?

Snake venom may have a bad reputation but #DidYouKnow that scientists have used venom as a source of new medication? The first venom derived drug was captopril, sourced from the Brazilian Viper, designed to treat cardiovascular problems like hypertension! ๐
