Chronic inflammation impacts mucociliary clearance (EMBARC BRIDGE data) Amelia Shoemark

End of another busy day at #WBConf24 in Dundee with some fantastic sessions. Help us take bronchiectasis research to the next level by becoming part of EMBARC. Find us outside LT3 tomorrow to get involved and join the registry.

For most of the past 3 decades, bronchiectasis has been treated as an infectious disease. A new Review in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine argues that bronchiectasis is primarily a chronic inflammatory disease and introduces a novel concept of disease activity: hubs.li/Q02FqqBl0

The understanding of bronchiectasis pathophysiology is challenging given its clinical and biological complexity and heterogeneity. Here we review current knowledge and propose a scientific roadmap of how genomics can identify new bronchiectasis endotypes. bit.ly/44zvxif

1 week to go until NHS Tayside Gastro Team run the Dundee 1/2 marathon - I am feeling more than a little nervous! We are raising money for Myeloma UK , a condition that has recently affected a member of our team. If you want to donate a few ££'s you can at justgiving.com/page/amy-koush…

Wow. Thank you so much to the Lancet for this profile, it is a real honour. Medicine and Science are team sports and i've had amazing mentors, collaborators, clinical colleagues and the best team in Dundee that anyone could ask for. I feel very lucky and very grateful Thank you❤️

New data released today in The Lancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050. Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
