Meet Olivia Hepworth 👋 In this video, Olivia tells us about her current work in analytical #chemistry and what inspired her to pursue a career in #research 📚⚗️🦁 #2minsNMS King's Chemistry #STEM #uni #PGR #WomenInSTEM #analyticalchemistry

Proud mate moment. Olivia Hepworth explaining the stupidly clever work she does as well as using more long words in 2 minutes than I've used in the past 25 years. (I'll return to the rubbish word play and Matt Hancock bashing now)


To finish off the Faraday Discussion: Peptide membrane-interactions we have the poster prizes! Faraday Division Prize: Fabian Keller Universität Münster RSC Chemical Biology Prize: Olivia Hepworth King's College London Congratulations both! #FDPeptide

Out Now! The candidalysins are a family of peptide toxins, the first family of peptide cytolysins in human pathogenic fungi! Great work by many people Microbial Pathogenicity Mechanisms, The Moyes Lab, Jemima Ho, Olivia Hepworth, Christophe d'Enfert. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…. Short thread follows.

Out in BioRxiv. EGFR-MAPK adaptor proteins mediate the epithelial response to Candida albicans via the cytolytic peptide toxin candidalysin The Moyes Lab @slg1717 Jemima Ho Olivia Hepworth Lea Lortal submit.biorxiv.org/submission/pdf…

I was very happy to give a talk about CRISPR in C. albicans at #HFP2022. Thanks all for your feedback and discussion! 😊 The Naglik Lab


The best week at #HFP2022 - so many incredible talks/posters and a wonderful opportunity to present my PhD work on the structure and mechanism of toxicity for candidalysin! A big thank you to the organisers and to The Naglik Lab! Now to sleep for a week! 🧪🔬👩🏻🔬


Back Home. Together with Traven Lab and Oliver Kurzai I would like to thank all the partipants of the #HFP2022. Science has been outstanding and the interactions fantastic! Hope to see you all at the #HFP2024!


Final hoorah! Curing our bodies and souls after #hfp2022 with more wine! Jakob Sprague Lea Lortal Christoph Saffer Antzela Tsavou Don Navod Wickramasinghe


From one Olivia to another - wishing Olivia Paulin the best year abroad in Singapore! Two peas in a pod. Two Olives on a stick. You are the p to my H 🧪 We will miss you!

Delighted to share our paper led by Nicole Ponde together with @slg1717with on how Candida albicans and its toxin candidalysin activate EGFR-MAPK adaptor proteins in oral epithelial cells Lea Lortal Antzela Tsavou Olivia Hepworth Don Navod Wickramasinghe Jemima Ho The Moyes Lab pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36037968/



Olivia Hepworth presenting her PhD work on #candidalysin’s mechanism of toxicity at #LakesidePTE2022!


Had an amazing time at #LakesidePTE2022 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin! 🌳 Amazing and inspiring science! 🤩 Olivia Hepworth #LakesidePTE #toxins


Very proud of our PhD student Lea Lortal presenting her work at #Candida2023 on the role of EGFR in C. albicans oral infection! Microbiology Society


This evening I am a very proud auntie. Congratulations Dr Olivia Hepworth
