Introducing our distinguished speaker at #ISSAD2023! 🌟 🎤 Shabir Madhi 📜 Talk Title: "Exploring association of Group B streptococcus genome diversity and early onset disease" 📢 3rd International Symposium on ‘Streptococcus agalactiae’ Disease 📅 October 16 - 18, 2023

Super thrilled to be at the Issad.org 2023 symposium in Brazil. The focus remains on discussing all facets of #GroupBStrep disease and making it a global priority #ISSAD2023 #maternalchildhealth

Key takeaways Session 9, part 1: 🧬The microbiome may be a testable and modifiable factor in improving reproductive health. 🧬 High risk vaginal microbiota compositions and excessive complement pathway activation is a common feature of preterm delivery. Ina Schuppe Koistinen David MacIntyre

Our recent paper highlighting the role of maternal Copper as a potential biomarker of preterm birth! More here 👉🏻 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So excited to have become a member of @PreconceptionUK The Network is part of a wider network of Health in Preconception, Pregnancy and Postpartum Early- and Midcareer Researcher Collectives (HiPPP EMR-C) to support opportunities for international engagement and collaboration.

Placental biomarkers such as PlGF are potentially useful to predict preterm birth in both growth-restricted and normally grown fetuses. obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Our metagenomics team just sequenced the newest #SARSCoV2 variant: JN1. Dawn.com's Wara Irfan just reported it after talking to M Imran Nisar . Here Samiah Kanwar looks at the Pakistan specific SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic tree and Furqan Kabir stands next to Illumina that spat

Always working together to make steady strides towards the improvement of maternal and child health. Our EMP study, funded by Gates Foundation reconceptualizes maternal and infant health from a microbiome perspective!

Not everyday that bioinformaticians and experts in pathogen genomics from Aga Khan University act as lead facilitators at a regional workshop in #Ankara. AKU Paediatrics going places with their research training and skills Research at AKU

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Today – and everyday – we recognise the invaluable contributions of #WomenInScience 👩‍🔬 Join us in revisiting the incredible work of our #ThreeWiseWomen 👇 imperial.ac.uk/Stories/three-… #WomenInSTEM #IDWGS

Honoured to have been taught by Prof Franks while Imperial College London learnt about PCOS from him. He continues to talk about this very common disorder which can still remain undetected.

Out today! Big data analyses 126.5 mill births of #stillbirth risk by size for gestation with rigorous approach for denominator. Wonderful teamwork from 15 countries. #smallvulnerablenewborns MARCH Centre, LSHTM BJOG Aris Papageorghiou rcog International Confederation of Midwives

Just returned from an incredible 3 weeks in Florence at the 36th European Educational Programme in Epidemiology! I was fortunate to be awarded a fellowship from the organisers to attend this course. Truly an enlightening and transformative experience! #Epidemiology #EEPE

Thrilled to be at this conference organized by the Benzon Foundation; cross cutting across precision proteomics research in human health. “You have to be very smart and very nice to be here” - quipped Matthias Mann, the organizer from Max Planck Society. My team and I working with

Thrilled to be at the Gates Foundation Institute of Disease Modelling Symposium 2024 in Seattle 🌍 Shared insights on using machine learning to link maternal characteristics & biomarkers with newborn outcomes. We also showed metabolomic profiling of stillbirths from AMANHI 🌟

One of the most controversial issues in microbiome research is the definition of a ‘healthy’ human #microbiome. Enjoyed contributing to this perspective on the progress made and the key gaps that remain to be addressed to fully harness the benefits of the human microbiome.
