We've created a new lab website where we'll be updating on the work being carried out in the lab.

Still need to work on the mobile version, but it's getting there!

⭐️New project⭐️

We've been awarded funding for an exciting new project to develop a humane epithelial model to investigate respiratory infections.

This has been funded by the amazing @humaneresearch.bsky.social

The research will be carried out by my new PhD student @scientistdivine.bsky.social 😊
