I really enjoyed this meeting for the Emerging & Zoonotic Infections Health Protection Research Unit. So much great science, and a fantastic training environment for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. I feel very fortunate to have been involved, and I'm sure its 3rd iteration will be superb
Proud to lead the NIHR HPRU in Emerging & Zoonotic Infections, refunded for 5 more years with £5.5m. Since 2014, we've leveraged £10M to generate >£120m funding, trained 28 PhD/postdocs, and produced >500 publications. Vital in UK response to Ebola, Zika, and Covid-19. #InfectiousDiseases

Diversity in naturally acquired immunity to Group B Streptococcus: A Comparative Study of Women from Bangladesh, Malawi, and the United Kingdom
Significant disparities in Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonisation and neonatal disease rates have been documented across different geographical regions. For example, Bangladesh reports notably lower rates compared to the United Kingdom (UK) and Malawi. This study investigates whether this epidemiological variability correlates with the immune response to GBS in these regions.

Today, we conducted a simulation admitting a person with mpox into our Emergency Department & then critical care. Royal Liverpool Hospital is one of a handful of hospitals designated to look after people with Highly Infectious Diseases, like mpox, & it's important to regularly test our readiness.
