💊 The CSRI, with £4.2Million 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! 🐍journals.plos.org/plosntds/a…
Many many thanks my co-authors for all their amazing work! @keirah_bartlett @laura_albulescu @srhall106 @DaBoiaWest @RachelHClare @CassieModahl @nickcasewell @CSRIatLSTM

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! 👩🏼🔬🐍
Really excited for my first GRC and talk about our work as part of the project to restart production of Fav Afrique! @grcvenom
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!

Very late at posting this but thrilled to see our commincation on ECR views regarding their representation within the IST! Big thanks to @LuddeckeTim, @DammMaik and @SLaxme for their work towards this!

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! 💓

The Medical Research Council & Doctoral Training Partnership, between LSTM & Lancaster University, is open until 9th Feb, 2023. Work in an environment that helps reduce sickness & mortality in disease endemic countries. Apply for this opportunity here: shorturl.at/EFGLU
Enjoyable couple of days #LASA2022 with @LASA_UK discussing our work @CSRIatLSTM looking at reducing animal usage in the production of antivenom. Lots of interesting ideas to take back to the lab!
