My blog covering the plain language summary of our recent paper is now out! Learn how we used metagenomics to identify #AMR genes and clinically relevant bacterial species in a companion animal hospital in London! linzyelton628749128.wordpress.com/2025/02/17/pla…

Alright so here we go! We conducted a clinical trial in children under the age of 1 who were HIV positive and had severe pneumonia. The mortality rate in these children has been unacceptably high even with empirical antibiotic treatment.

We're part of many #tuberculosis #ClinicalTrial studies, and site coordinator Linzy Elton, PhD has made a series of videos to try and dispel the myths about clinical trials! First up, a look at OptiRimox; why (and how) it's run, and why trials are so important!

Next up in our series of videos on #clinicaltrials, Linzy Elton, PhD explains what a day in the life of our laboratory scientists looks like! We work with sites all over the world and each trial is different, but with many hundreds of #tuberculosis patients enrolled, it's always busy!

In our final video on #clinicaltrials, Linzy Elton, PhD explains what a site coordinator does when they visit each of the labs! Coordinators work closely with the lab teams to help make sure that all work is being done according to the trial guidelines, making the data robust.

COYS!!!

In a collaboration between @HerpeZ, Centre for Clinical Microbiology UCL and Barts Health, researcher Rosalind Rosalind Tucker PhD has spent 3 weeks in Zambia helping to develop Oxford Nanopore #metagnomics for non-malarial febrile illness diagnosis from blood samples!

The team at Zymo Research have written a blog about the use of environmental #metagenomics in two of our recent papers, highlighting its use for #AMR #surveillance across #OneHealth settings bioscience.co.uk/blog/environme…

We held our Lab Olympics today, congratulations to all competitors, especially team 'Number one' for coming first!

Published! Our paper utilising #metagenomics to look at #pathogens and #AMR in the veterinary environment, and how it relates to clinical infections: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Don't forget, there's a plain language summary of our recently pubished paper utilising #metagenomics to identify #pathogens and #AMR in veterinary hospital environments on my blog: linzyelton628749128.wordpress.com/2025/02/17/pla…
