Why do some people avoid COVID-19 infection despite high levels of exposure? We discovered an ultra-early, interferon-associated immune response in 'resistant' individuals that might halt the virus before it gains a foothold https://t.co/djlWx5hS5E

@_emilyconibear And last but definitely not least, our amazing Research Fellow Joe is at Poster 84 sharing a transcriptomic signature of abortive COVID-19 infection 🫁 #BSI23

[NIHR HPRU in Respiratory Infections @hpru_ri]

Big day for the Lalvani group today, 3 posters all about our COVID-19 research! 😷

[NIHR HPRU in Respiratory Infections @hpru_ri]

Next up is our Technician Emily (@_emilyconibear) at Poster 160 who is discussing the transcriptomic innate immune response to COVID-19 🧬 (let's all pretend this emoji is RNA) #BSI23

[NIHR HPRU in Respiratory Infections @hpru_ri]

Come and chat with our lovely Postdoc Seran at Poster 255 to learn all about how important zinc is in mild COVID-19 🍖🦪 #BSI23

[NIHR HPRU in Respiratory Infections @hpru_ri]

First full day of #BSI2023 talks and very excited to see a whole session dedicated to public engagement. Feeling very inspired about all the amazing ways to share research!

[NIHR HPRU in Respiratory Infections @hpru_ri]

Excited to share our latest publication in collaboration with the University of Oxford. We combined INSTINCT and ISAR4C forces to investigate gut mucosal responses across a spectrum of COVID-19 disease outcomes 🤧💩. Check it out here: https://t.co/wPT6KKMdmZ
