Haha thank you! Absolutely agree…as it should be! ☺️

Great day presenting my poster at UTIGA conference in Nashville. Loads of positive feedback and amazing collaborations! What a great community to be part of!
More importantly, a massive well done to @victoriachu.bsky.social for a brilliant talk today! Nailed it! 👌

So proud of the team, presenting our work on #UTI using human-cell modelling. First, @victoriachu.bsky.social gave a fantastic podium presentation on her kidney-ureter-bladder chip to study ascending infection #UTISky #UTICONF2026 1/2

It was wonderful working with such a diverse group, from patients with lived experiences, clinicians to researchers on this. More detail on the approach, top 10 priorties, priorties outside the top 10, etc if you follow the link below (3/3)

Here, we present the top 10 priorties for recurrent and chronic UTI research. These are areas which are important to patients suffering from recurrent and chronic UTIs, their families and careers and healthcare professionals and were (2/3)

Recurrent and chronic UTIs have a huge impact on patient's quality of life and is an area of research which is often overlooked and understudied. There are massive gaps in our understanding which we can fill to... (1/3)

It’s been brilliant having a visiting delegation all this week from the labs of @nicoledenisco.bsky.social & @chelsamicro.bsky.social, who’ve come all the way from 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇧 to learn how to grow our 3D-UHU bladder model. The lab is bursting at the seams but we’re having a lot of fun! #UTISky #UTI

Proud to present my work at the UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting earlier this week. Lots of great feedback and some very interesting talks! Congrats to all the speakers. Well done @microberamon.bsky.social for representing the lab. I like the rainbow title slide 😂 @jennyrohn.bsky.social

Effect of host microenvironment and bacterial lifestyles on antimicrobial sensitivity and implications for susceptibility testing - npj Antimicrobials and Resistance npj Antimicrobials and Resistance - Effect of host microenvironment and bacterial lifestyles on antimicrobial sensitivity and implications for susceptibility testing

Absolutely thrilled this is out🥳Our review explores why antibiotics often fail even when bacteria is susceptible in the lab. From phenotypic resilience and biofilm formation to host microenvironment, we dive into many factors behind these discrepancies
