@Breath_COPD Success: Dr Fawziye Tarhini graduates with lead supervisor Dr Gary Litherland outside Paisley Abbey.

@UniWestScotland and Antibody Analytics have secured a £260k KTP award. Dr Litherland (Knowledge Base Lead), Dr Crilly (Knowledge Base Supervisor) and Prof Lockhart (Supporting Academic) will work with Antibody Analytics to develop patient-derived tissue explant models of disease

Congratulations Dr Carly Woods! PhD now secured as passport to future success. Time to celebrate! breath-copd.org/breath-success…

Harrison the Piper in the UWS studio laying down the sound track for our video commemorating 25 years of CMS earlier. Great job Harrison, a talented lad!

@ASHScotland highlighted a topical debate on disposable vapes. All parties did appear to agree that upsurge in vaping use in the young is most concerning. youtube.com/live/zr0NuPkdr…

@Breath_COPD PhDs Dr Bryn Short and Dr Kirsty McCallum celebrating their @UniWestScotland graduation with supervisor Dr Gary Litherland at Paisley Abbey.

This week is #pulmonaryrehabweek “Scotland has one of the highest respiratory death rates in Europe & although we are grateful that we have a national action plan, we're concerned about the lack of progress" Head of @asthmalunguk Scotland @joseph_ALUK asthmaandlung.org.uk/media/press-re…

We were delighted to welcome school students from across Renfrewshire to UWS Paisley campus earlier this week for our UWS Foundation Academy event, where they discovered more about UWS, and tried their hand at a wide range of skills including health, engineering, design and more.

Brilliant news. Well deserved Gerard!

Congratulations to Prof Gerard Sergeant who received the Established Investigator Award in @dkit today from @DkIT_ie President, Diarmuid O'Callaghan. Thoroughly well deserved Gerard!!

“With the Scottish Government refreshing its tobacco action plan later this year, it is vital that Scotland matches the level of bold and ambitious measures set by New Zealand & Australia in recent months, if we are to achieve the goal of a tobacco-free generation by 2034." 3/3

“Tobacco remains the biggest preventable killer in Scotland, causing 9,000 deaths and 100,000 hospitalisations each year, and this demands an acceleration of progress towards taking on the profiteering tobacco industry and its lethal products." - Chief Exec Sheila Duffy 2/3

We need to ensure staff and pupils have the support they need to prevent more young people from taking up vaping and help those who are. As part of our campaign we'll be reaching out to parents, pupils and unions like @EISUnion to get their input. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
