Great to spend the weekend in Budapest at the @eular.org Teaching & Learning Seminar. An inspiring few days focused on how we educate in rheumatology💡 I’m delighted to have recently taken on the role of Lead Author for Cell and Gene Therapies within the EULAR Course 🧬

🥇 Honoured to receive the Best Abstract Award at the European Lupus Meeting in Lisbon 🇵🇹 for our abstract “Functional iron deficiency drives metabolic reprogramming in classical monocytes in #SLE.” Grateful to an amazing team & the patients who make this research possible

Wonderful news to start 2026 with! Access to Obinutuzumab has been granted for patients living with lupus nephritis! www.nice.org.uk/news/article...

Really looking forward to speaking (for the 3rd year!) at the British Society for Immunology (@britsocimm.bsky.social) Foundations of Immunology course on 18 March 🧬 A brilliant one-day online course covering core immunology for all backgrounds 🧪 Register 👉 www.immunology.org/training/Fou...

Humbled to receive the Educational Supervisor Award at the GKT School of Medical Education Awards On rushing from clinic to the award ceremonially I past the med school library, which made me reflect on my own student days & the excitement of learning medicine 💡

Super proud of Rym Abida (MD and PhD student) presenting our data on the work she has been leading on investigating predictive biomarkers of sustained remission in #SLE at the British Society for Immunology conference last week! ⭐️ @britsocimm.bsky.social

“This is what you get, when you mess with us!” Radiohead at the O2. It’s been too long!

After a couple of months of trying, I took advantage of last night’s new moon, and with Saturn in opposition, I was finally able to capture a decent shot from my East London rooftop 🪐

Really interesting & important data here! HCQ does not prevent progression from an at risk state to full classification criteria #SLE ⚡️ I suspect we need to better define molecularly who will progress. My personal feeling is adaptive immunity may be the required target 🎯 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/art....
