Still can’t quite believe it, but VERY happy to say I passed my PhD viva without corrections! HUGE thanks to the ultimate trio of supervisors, @_myrsini_ @jetpackjeth and Mike Levin, and many many thanks to Dr @gpollara and Prof Becca Asquith for examining my thesis! 🎉 🍾

Very happy to share our paper published today in @LancetDigitalH describing a host protein signature for diagnosing bacterial and viral infections in febrile children. This work formed a huge chunk of my PhD so it feels great to see it out in the world at last!

📢Our latest paper describing a blood-based host protein signature for distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections in children with fever from the @PERFORM_2020 @EU_Commission study is out in Lancet Digital Health @LancetDigitalH https://t.co/o3j7XO6NJP. A thread🧵1/12

I’m pleased to share a pre-proof of our latest paper in Journal of Infection, led by @DrMahdiMoradi
We identified mechanistic correlates of #SARSCoV2 viral load in the upper respiratory tract https://t.co/fUVMQQa2iD
This was a great collaborative effort between many researchers

1/13 Excited to share our study describing a 161 gene signature able to simultaneously classify 18 paediatric infectious & inflammatory diseases using multi-class supervised #Machinelearning. Out in @MedCellPress after a few years in the making 📰 https://t.co/ijqGAyXKds

[Rebecca Sarah @Becca_Womersley]

An enormous thank you to the organisers of @MedResFdn_AMR for another fantastic conference bringing together students studying Antimicrobial Resistance!
Thank you for inviting me to speak about the @PERFORM_2020 project and how it fits into the AMR issue. @_myrsini_

@drjfcrodrigues Thank you very much!

[Heather Jackson @hrjackson_]

Very pleased to finally share with your our paper describing a 5-gene signature for distinguishing MIS-C from bacterial infections, viral infections and Kawasaki disease, available here: https://t.co/Q59gQXsqMC.
