Such a pleasure talking with you today – about science and everything in between! Really looking forward to seeing where your ideas go – exciting times ahead!

Thank you for sharing Pauline - and I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. Stories like yours are a big part of why we do this work! We’re hopeful that this research is a step toward real solutions for long COVID, and we’re not stopping here :)

A novel PLpro inhibitor improves outcomes in a pre-clinical model of long COVID - Nature Communications A novel antiviral targeting the SARS-CoV-2 PLpro protease shows strong efficacy in a mouse model, preventing lung pathology and reducing brain dysfunction. The study provides proof-of-principle that P...

Excited to share that our collaborative work on PLpro inhibitors is published! Using a model that replicates symptoms seen in long COVID patients, we show that a potent antiviral can prevent long-term disease. A big step forward in long COVID therapy. #LongCOVID #PLpro #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #Antivirals

A fantastic morning hosting 2 exceptional #celldeath researchers at the 2025 #ACDS Welcome Seminar!

Seth Masters shared his exciting research program exploring NLRP mutations in patients with inflammatory disease. Similarly, Aysha Al-Ani showed us the power of combining bedside-bench IBD research 🔥

So honored to have been awarded an NHMRC investigator grant! 🤗

Thank you to my mentors, our amazing lab team, and everyone who has supported my journey.
I’m looking forward to the work ahead! 🌍🔬

What better way to make my first post on Bluesky than to celebrate a blue sky win? 🙃 Thrilled to receive WEHI’s Award for Blue Sky Research, to develop a whole-body imaging platform to visualize inflammation in long COVID🔬Huge thanks to Jenny Tatchell for helping turn our ideas into reality!
