Our recent review on the potential role of autoimmunity in Long-COVID is out now in JACI - do have a read! @p_openshaw @InThwaiteImmune @HarkerImmuno
The diagnosis of long COVID is hampered by an incomplete understanding of pathogenesis. Here’s a review of the interplay between viruses and autoimmunity, with a particular focus on the potential role of autoantibodies in acute COVID-19 and long COVID. bit.ly/4i5pC9C

I always say jobs in my lab are great opportunities but this one really is. The last incumbent published 3 1st-author @Nature papers, found a treatment for Covid, and now has a senior job in pharma.

Extremely excited to see our paper out in @Nature!
How does the body respond to SARS-CoV-2, and what happens if you don't get infected after exposure?
We unravel the exact timeline of the cellular responses to inoculation with SARS-CoV-2 in humans. (1/4) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Wonderful to see our paper out in @Nature today! What happens if we experimentally challenge young healthy seronegative adult volunteers with SARS-CoV-2 and apply single cell multi-omics? Not everyone subsequently gets COVID-19! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new research - showing that babies lack nasal protection against Respiratory Syncytial Virus, due to their low levels of cathelicidin expression - is now published in Scientific Reports.

We are really please to have our paper on Long Covid subtypes out today in @NatImmunol. This project worked with @PHOSP_COVID cohort to delve into what is different in those with persistent symptoms. nature.com/articles/s4159…

In this @RESCEUproject @PROMISE_IMI binational cohort study, we find that 8.7% of community managed COPD exacerbations are associated with #RSV infection atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

We also found that no single diagnostic approach (PCR on nasal swabs or sputum, or serology) picked up all cases, so we may even still be underestimating RSV burden in COPD exacerbations
