Huge congratulations to Dr. Rebecca Sagar who has just been awarded a BHF Clinical Research Training Fellowship grant which will be supervised by Prof Khalid Naseem. This is for the #research project "Diabetes driven immunometabolic reprogramming of blood platelets" #LICAMM #BHF

The conference is flying by, we've just had our last coffee break where registrants are making the most of the poster time! Next oral session is "Reaching out (to other cells)".

Good week in Glasgow at the ECTH for the Naseem group The Platelet Society sessions! #ECTH2019 #LICAMM #Platelets

Last minute preparations for the #NVBF2019 meeting with Dr Prachi Stafford, @dodoscientist.bsky.social & Daniel Kelly ... Thank you to all our sponsors for making this event possible. Looking forward to welcoming all delegates tomorrow for a fantastic day of science.

Many congratulations to Dr Matt Hindle for passing his PhD viva, very well deserved! LICAMM University of Leeds @LeedsPGR

Thanks to the British Heart Foundation research like this is funded... but Covid-19 presents a big risk to research like this. Without Govt action, charity-funded research faces devastating cuts, delaying life saving medical discoveries. Joe Dunster @AmandaUnsworth1 Connecting Research

Fantastic , really enjoyed this study
