Thanks again to @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social for the invitation to speak at their excellent annual symposium.

A really positive community of impressive ECRs.

5 star review!

Thanks for coming to our #LINEsymposium2025! What a great day!
Congratulations to the winners of our attendees' vote for best presentation and poster: @wjbranchett.bsky.social @immun0liver.bsky.social @ziqizhou.bsky.social @dylanpostmus.bsky.social

It is a wrap! A big thank you to all of you for coming, sharing your science and making this day the vibrant exciting event that it was! We are hoping to see you again next year! #LINEsymposium2025

This has been a fantastic day! We’re excited that we are ending on an inspiring keynote by @amayabustinduy.bsky.social @lshtm.bsky.social on her science focussing on schistosomiasis and reflecting on her journey as a clinical scientist. #LINEsymposium2025

Our last (but not least) selected speaker for today is @immun0liver.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk with a great talk on how ADP-ribosylation poses an important barrier to infection that viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have to overcome. #LINEsymposium2025

Our next speaker in this session is Audrey Peters (@imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social showcasing her work on phage-bacteria interactions in complex environments, spanning in vitro and in vivo models. #LINEsymposium2025

We are heading straight into session 3 of our selected talks. @wjbranchett.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk is up first, focussing on M. tuberculosis infection. #LINEsymposium2025

We’re excited to have @laurawolz.bsky.social and @carterlj.bsky.social from @carersinstemm.bsky.social with us today to tell us about their important work advocating for equitable and accessible support for those balancing caring and career. #LINEsymposium2025

Time for our career panel: Tina Chowdhury (Reader, QMUL), @peterwshill.bsky.social (Group leader KCL), Cat Gale (Producer/Director), Henry Blest (Co-founder @polarilabs.bsky.social), Catrin Beetham (Policy adviser) and Aimé Palomeras (Clinical Project Manager @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social).

Straight to the poster flash talks ⚡️: Baptiste Pradel (@crick.ac.uk) @dylanpostmus.bsky.social (@lstmnews.bsky.social) Felix Scharte (@mrclmb.bsky.social) Jack Mellors (@imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social)!

Energized into session 2: How do antibiotics kill bacteria? @ejadouglas.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social  is casting light onto the mode of action of polymyxin. #LINEsymposium2025

Next in session 2 is Chloe Rees-Spear @ucl.ac.uk presenting her work using a novel tonsil organoid system to study human antigen-specific germinal centre B cell responses to viral infections. #LINEsymposium2025

Our third speaker in session 2 is Wenye Ma @bristoluni.bsky.social who is studying interkingdom interactions between fungi and bacteria with the aim to combat Group B Streptococcus neonatal disease. #LINEsymposium2025

Closing session 1 is Raul Y Sanchez David @qmulfmd.bsky.social. A fascinating talk on self-amplifying mRNA, its interaction with our innate immunity and how we can exploit and modulate its function!

Next up in session 1: Tom Williams @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social presenting his work on fungal infection in the airways to understand key immunological pathways that drive airway disease. #LINEsymposium2025

Excited for the LINE Symposium 2025!!! @mariondelphin.bsky.social @londoninfectionecr.bsky.social

We’re starting off with the invited plenary by @grovearmada.bsky.social (@cvrinfo.bsky.social). An inspiring tour de force about using AI for discovery science to understand the virosphere! #LINEsymposium2025

TGIF! Happy Friday!
Our symposium is just around the corner!
The FINAL PROGRAMME is out! Take a look: londoninfection.wixsite.com/home/lipn

Clinical Trials for Hepatitis Delta Virus in the WHO African region: A neglected virus among neglected viruses We set out to evaluate the extent to which Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Clinical Trials (CT) include populations from the World Health Organisation (WHO) African region, aiming to highlight inequities ...

Viral #hepatitis is a neglected public health threat.
Right at the bottom of the pile is #HDV #Delta virus, which coinfects with #HBV. As so often, #clinicaltrials are least done where most needed.
