Today is wear yellow day for Cystic Fibrosis Trust #cysticfibrosis. Future Imperial Medics doing a Clinical Research & Innovation research experience with Precision-CF Innovation Hub @cftrust @domhughesy, @PhysiologyChris @luke_allsopp @ImperialNHLI @ImperialMed

Today is wear yellow day to raise awareness of and fundraise for #cysticfibrosis. Precision-CF Innovation hub in yellow! Researching towards unlocking a life unlimited for people with CF, @cftrust @domhughesy, @luke_allsopp @ImperialNHLI

Great kick off meeting for the Precision CF Innovation Hub @ImperialNHLI Awesome talks and a real energy. Thanks to funders @lifearc1 and @cftrust

How do meta-analyses transform clinical practice?

Join us for the next NHLI Masterclass on 22 October with Prof Jonathan Emberson @Oxford_NDPH, exploring how carefully designed meta-analyses provide reliable evidence that changes care worldwide.

A deep dive into #T6SS effector diversity in #pseudomonas out now in @NatureComms lead by Antonia Habich from the Unterweger Lab. Great science and great collaboration. @MPI_EvolBio @ImperialNHLI nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our latest study shows that the anti-biofilm peptide DJK-5 makes Staphylococcus aureus vulnerable to colistin in co-biofilms with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A promising step in the fight against chronic co-infections! #AMR #Biofilms nature.com/articles/s4152…
