Made this one for you James O'Brien

We're pleased to announce we have acquired the manufacturing rights to Bio-Rad Laboratories's IT-LEISH rapid #diagnostic test for visceral #leishmania, to keep this vital test on the market. Read the full announcement here: bit.ly/3RrZ9G1

#Researchers from LSTM, University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Medicine & UK Health Security Agency conducted a study of samples from #patients hospitalised with #monkeypox. The findings are published in The Lancet Microbe #diseases #infection #Researchpaper lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/ne…

Every doctor, every biologist, everyone with any grasp of antibiotic resistance and its development, just clutching their heads and screaming OH MY GOD NO...

Congrats Eve and team LSTM

We're looking forward to travelling to #Stockholm next week to kick off the @innovateUK Horizon Europe programme, HoliCare. Together with @pasteurdakar, we aim to develop #diagnostic technology for #flu, #rsv and #covid.

Great to be part of this UK consortium on #monkeypox

1. The #Ebola Sudan outbreak in Uganda is now the 9th largest Ebola outbreak on record, with 135 confirmed and probable cases, and 52 confirmed and probable deaths. These data are current to Oct. 26, which was the 37th day (ie just over 5 weeks) since the outbreak was declared.

Final paper for my PhD thesis now published in PLOS NTDs ! Results from our #RePST trial showed that PZQ efficacy measurements vary based on the diagnostic method used: egg-based diagnostics show different patterns compared to worm-based diagnostics. 👉🏻 journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

Professor Luis Cuevas 1956-2023 Yesterday we lost our dearest friend and colleague Luis Cuevas. His passion for #EndingTB shone through till the end and inspires us to redouble our efforts in his honour. lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/ne…

My mentor and friend who shared his knowledge, wisdom & kindness to so many. We will all miss him and endeavour to ensure his impactful work continues

You should come if you can! You will hear some fabulous talks, bringing you up to speed in all the cutting areas of clinical science, have the chance to present your work to a friendly but perceptive audience and will likely remember the experience for the rest of your career!

In Luis’ (Papa) memory we (the family) are raising money towards further research and education at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. LSTM justgiving.com/campaign/LuisC…

Super!

A great week here at LSTM kicking off the #Start4All trial. Collaborators from Bangladesh, Brazil, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria and Vietnam braved the cold Liverpool weather to discuss all things TB diagnostic implementation. Watch this space!

We have an exciting PhD position. Know anyone interested? Kenya Medical Research Institute LSTM erecruitment.kemri.go.ke:7070/Home/SingleJob…
