Next, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow Dr Vanessa @SanchoShimizu - pictured here with her lab members - is supporting the advancement of gender equality by acting as a mentor to other #WomenInSTEM
#womeninscience@imperialinfect work at the interface between the clinic and the lab to understand why some people get more serious infections than others.
@SanchoShimizu explores the risks underpinning severe disease, recently demonstrating genetic susceptibility to #COVID19
We have been silent for a while because our lab and the CHGE were entirely focused on finishing 'twin papers' in @ScienceMagazine about inborn errors of type I IFN or auto-antibodies to type I IFN in nearly 15% of patients with life-threatening #COVID19 😀 https://t.co/E85pF1Kg88
It’s been the best and most intense few months of my life scientifically speaking. Have a read so all our sleepless nights, and blood, sweat, and tears are worth it 😊
Fascinating findings at an incredible speed.
Massive congrats🍾 to the @ImperialInfect team: @SanchoShimizu@HodeibStephanie@IraSabli
*15% of severe COVID-19 have either type I IFN inborn errors or type I IFN auto-antibodies
*94% of the patients with auto-antibodies were male!

@CrossFitGames My first ever attempt on Friday. Joined CrossFit a month ago, not fit and still working on forms. Scored 76 reps: 4 rounds and 4 reps. not sure what was the threshold for newbies 😂
