A fantastic morning today, hearing from our Community Advisory Board and a study participant's perspective, reminding us of the importance of ensuring we translate our work from bench to bedside, to #endcryptodeaths

Our second Investigators Meeting starts in Cape Town today! Wonderful to have so many team members here in person, looking forward to a fantastic few days of reflection, collaboration and inspiration for the way forward to #endcryptodeaths

Is fluconazole enough for cryptococcal antigenaemia? The @EffectTrial is exploring the impact of flucytosine plus fluconazole in South Africa and Tanzania. Thrilled to be part of this wonderful team!

Incredible week at the #ICCC in Kampala. Glastonbury for #cryptococcus! Great to connect with amazing colleagues, make new friends and discuss future collaborations. Phenomenal organisation by the team!

Valuable insights from @drdavidlawrence on patient perspectives of the @ambitioncm2020 regimen. Bottom line: staff and patients prefer a single dose of L-Amb. "They want one yellow, not 7 yellows"💉🟡 Now to push for implementation with @SHARECM1 and @IMPRINT_NIHRGHR 🧫🦠🧠

@JNJarvis76 taking us through the "bench to bedside" pipeline for the @ambitioncm2020 An excellent model, and reminder that the work is far from done when the clinical trial is finished. We need access, advocacy and engagement if we want to #endcryptodeaths by 2030🧫🦠🧠

Our co-CI @neleshg presenting on CrAg screening programmes, in which the EFFECT trial is embedded. Our other co-CI @Molloy_Sile presented @EffectTrial earlier this morning during the #ICCC2023 Clinical Track CrAg Screening sessions. Working our way to #endcryptodeaths by 2030💉💊

Many of our investigators are participating in #ICCC2023 in Kampala this week. Today, a master class in the clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis with @drdavidlawrence @KylaComins and colleagues from @SHARECM1 discussing implementation of the @ambitioncm2020 regimen 💊💉

I am so excited for this trial taking place in Tanzania for a probable better treatment for PLHIV with Crypto….
