NEW PREPRINT! We systematically reviewed molecular epidemiology studies looking at strain discordance in pairs of people with TB disease and history of household contact We found 30 studies from 18 countries. Excluding 4 studies at high risk of bias, we had data on 1544 household case pairs [1/n]

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

“Early this morning, Israeli forces stormed the UNRWA Headquarters, a United Nations site, in East Jerusalem.” Statement by UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

I am thrilled to share that the work from @maxgg.bsky.social team @crick.ac.uk engineering a lung-on-chip from human iPSC is published in #ScienceAdvances @science.org in the new year.

New funding for pre-PhD clinical researchers in respiratory medicine

Very sad. More and more people are dying while experiencing homelessness in the UK, especially in England museumofhomelessness.org/news/new-res...

Exciting PhD opportunity for clinicians interesting in gram negative and Mycobacterial drug discovery (and ready to get stuck into the lab!) www.crick.ac.uk/careers-stud...

Amid a genocide, Starmer is sending diplomats to discuss a new trade deal with Israel. Britain is telling this genocidal government ‘one of the reasons to come to Israel is to demonstrate very strong support from the UK’ It’s revolting. We need sanctions not more trade. 1/2

Nigel Farage still insisting that he has "never ever, ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free". Here's what he's said in the past behind closed doors

Glad someone is systematically assessing this

After a great review process with @naturecomms.bsky.social, I'm so happy to share our work identifying inactive RING E3 #ubiquitin #pseudoligases in the TRIM protein family!! rdcu.be/ehlGW 🥳 🍾 🙌 @katmcphie.bsky.social @diegoesposito.bsky.social @katrinrittinger.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk

Tuberculosis is not going away. If the cutting edge research goes away, #TB will rage on. Harvard is being targeted including the TB Immunology contract and that trickles down to all of us working on these studies. Progress will be halted. And TB will flourish. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/08/m...

NEW: The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines. By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

I too have been dismissed from NIAID Board of Scientific Counselors along with 3 other women and a non-white man

New preprint on how a minimal Salmonella kinase needs a host kinase to activate it. Work led by @timeshpillay.bsky.social and another great collaboration with @katrinrittinger.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

During my PhD at @crick.ac.uk and @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, I explored the molecular interaction between host and pathogen. My question: How have pathogenic bacteria evolved to manipulate their host environment during infection? 🦠https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.01.640964v1 1/11
