In a recent study published in Open Biology, researchers from the Franklin, @UniofOxford, @UZH_en & @LivUni describe the isolation of new nanobodies that are able to neutralise Omicron strains of Covid-19. Read more about the research here: zurl.co/vNla

First paper of 2024 published in @PolymChem today! Congrats to all authors @BhebheLorraine @JungyeonKim92 @Luke00260 @ESuper42 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Antiviral mechanism change of poly(styrene sulfonate) through gold nanoparticle coating†

Viruses are pathogens capable of causing serious global health problems and therefore the development of interventions against them is of paramount importa

So if you become a new PI do you automatically get one of these chairs for your office? Asking for a, erm, colleague.

Had a fantastic time at #Microbio23. Enjoyed presenting some of our latest #nanobodies work, and everywhere you looked there was great science, talks and posters. Met some wonderful people, and really enjoyed seeing old colleagues again.

Great talks by colleagues @Carroll_Lab_Ox at #microbio23 about #SARSCoV2 antibody responses using nanobodies as therapeutics in virus neutralisation assays (@Luke00260), and the importance of Fc-mediated functions using ADCD (@JackMellors2) 👏🏽 @MicrobioSoc

Thrilled that the first article based on my PhD work @Pirbright_Inst is now published! Here we characterised AHSV pathology in a small animal model. Many thanks to my co-authors (none of whom are on twitter!), who all trained me in their own ways. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

So I was cleaning out my childhood bedroom over Christmas - as you do - and came across this book with this image that I had no memory of. Maybe I was subliminally primed to get into #immunofluorescence from a young age? Made me smile anyway.

Shockingly this children’s book doesn’t list the fluorophores used, but looks like DAPI and perhaps phalloidin 488 on neurons(?)
