PhD-done ✅ 🙌 Huge thanks to my examiners @profmarciniak.bsky.social from University of Cambridge and Dr. James Harker from @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social for such a thorough & engaging viva voce - a journey thru immune mechanisms of fibrotic lung disease Grateful & excited for what’s next! 🎓✨

Brilliant use of AI!

An important day of remembrance — not just for the USA 🇺🇸 but for all of us around the world 🌍. I was at Yale last year on 9/11 and was deeply moved by how they marked the occasion. #911Memorial reminds us of the value of unity, resilience, and compassion in the face of tragedy

Really pleased to hear that our #EULAR2025 symposium was covered by the European Medical Journal (EMJ) A Podcast with all the speakers in the session, including Prof Gerd Burmester covering mechanisms of methotrexate use wrt vaccines and me covering the Lungs 🫁! lnkd.in/en6vw26j

Forgot to post this! Shout out to my awesome friends, colleagues, collaborators at #EULAR2025 Very pleased to have delivered 2 talks and caught up with amazing people from all over the world!

Finally out! The first AI regenerative model applied to IPF & PCLS single nuclear sequencing data is out & it works!! See 🧵 below and paper here www.nature.com/articles/s41... #CureIPF #ScienceMatters

Can’t wait to read!

Totally right!!!

How to do differential expression with scRNAseq data? State of the art is "pseudo-bulk" analysis with RNA-seq methods like edgeR or DESeq2, where "cell type" is encoded as discrete categories. Biologically, discrete categories are not always the most appropriate concept.(1/3) doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Love this

@nisreenalwan.bsky.social so pleased to find you here

Heidelberg is indeed beautiful - I did a bioinformatics secondment in GSK Heidelberg during my PhD - lovely people and the Philosopher's walk was enchanting!

Really enjoyed chairing the spoken posters ‘Call of the ILD’ at #BTSWinter2024 with Joe Ball. Two hours, 12 posters of great scientific and clinical data!

This is completely astonishing and will hopefully generate many potential targets for new therapies…. Atlas of cells transforms understanding of human body www.bbc.com/news/article...

And the global networking continues. If you are attending an international conference, you can use that time to have a meal with your colleagues from around the world. This is part of rheumatology. #ACR24

Very cool lecture by @KaminskiMed - an odyssey through the lung using scRNAseq!! It really is a skill to present such complex data with effortless flair...! #MasterClassInSingleCellILD

Hello Rheumatology, Pulmonology, ILD peeps. Hit me up and I’ll follow you back xxx
