Blog: Environmental AMR surveillance in clinical settings – insights from two metagenomic case studies

The team at @zymoresearch.bsky.social have written a blog about the use of environmental #metagenomics in two of our recent papers, highlighting its use for #AMR #surveillance across #OneHealth settings www.bioscience.co.uk/blog/environ...

Some of the CCM clinical trials team joined the PanACEA annual meeting in Cape Town, South Africa 3-5 June. A celebration of all the work achieved, and a look forward to all of the things we can work towards with PanACEA3!

In our final video on #clinicaltrials, @linzyelton.bsky.social explains what a site coordinator does when they visit each of the labs! Coordinators work closely with the lab teams to help make sure that all work is being done according to the trial guidelines, making the data robust.

Next up in our series of videos on #clinicaltrials, @linzyelton.bsky.social explains what a day in the life of our laboratory scientists looks like! We work with sites all over the world and each trial is different, but with many hundreds of #tuberculosis patients enrolled, it's always busy!

Thanks Gabriele! I did a media fellowship (supported by @ucl-global.bsky.social) and learned how to better use digital media for my research purposes!

(1/4) The research I led looking at #AMR in #COVID patients was highlighted at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly at the High-level Meeting, so we thought we'd create a short video highlighting our work in Sudan and Zambia. Links to the paper and resources in thread below...

We're part of many #tuberculosis #ClinicalTrial studies, and site coordinator @linzyelton.bsky.social has made a series of videos to try and dispel the myths about clinical trials! First up, a look at OptiRimox; why (and how) it's run, and why trials are so important!
