#savethedate 26/Jan/2023 CSRI will be hosting a half day online mini-conference focused on discussing the history, achievements and future requirements of the standard mouse model for assessing envenoming therapy efficacy! REGISTER HERE👇 eventbrite.co.uk/e/improving-in… @Eventbrite

Very happy to have received an Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene ECR grant funded by @HamishOgstonFdn to look at how venoms impact wound healing 🐍 excited to get started in the lab! 👩🏼‍🔬

NC3Rs project grant holder @stuains is organising a free online meeting to discuss the current snake venom lethality murine model, and potential improvements/new models. 📅26 January 2023 Register now: eventbrite.co.uk/e/improving-in…

Enjoyable couple of days #LASA2022 with Laboratory Animal Science Association (LASA) discussing our work Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions looking at reducing animal usage in the production of antivenom. Lots of interesting ideas to take back to the lab!

The Medical Research Council & Doctoral Training Partnership, between LSTM & Lancaster University, is open until 9th Feb, 2023. Work in an environment that helps reduce sickness & mortality in disease endemic countries. Apply for this opportunity here: shorturl.at/EFGLU

Snake venom may have a bad reputation but #DidYouKnow that scientists have used venom as a source of new medication? The first venom derived drug was captopril, sourced from the Brazilian Viper, designed to treat cardiovascular problems like hypertension! 💓

Really excited for my first GRC and talk about our work as part of the project to restart production of Fav Afrique! GRC Venom

Heading home after a great week GRC Venom and #grsvenom! Wonderful opportunity to share the work we've been doing Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions assessing antivenom efficacy! Leaving with plenty of new ideas for the next stage of my research! 👩🏼‍🔬🐍

Hey fellow venom ECRs, At the last IST conference in Singapore, a major topic was the need to establish a better networking platform form the next generation of toxinologist. As such (with some delay) I have set up a dedicated X community for us, where we can exchange on all
