New #schistosomiasis biosensor for #globalhealth research from @ICStructBio @ImperialInfect and @NHM_London “Species-specific detection of Schistosoma japonicum using the ‘SNAILS’ DNA-based biosensor” @ajwebb1979 @rkelwick @Igniculus1 @PaulFreemont nature.com/articles/s4200…

Reflections from #ISEV2026 🇵🇷Great to see advances in the fields understanding of foundational and translational extracellular vesicle biology. Thankful to @IsevOrg and our research funders including @bbsrc for the opportunity to attend and present @ImperialInfect @ajwebb1979

Having a great time at #ISEV2026 international conference on extracellular vesicles #EVs Already attended fascinating talks on EV biogenesis and engineering. Thanks to @BBSRC for funding our EV research and @IsevOrg for the opportunity to present tomorrow!

Check out our #cell-free extracellular vesicle engineering poster @Imperial_IMSE Engineering Biology Symposium. Our work is published in @ISEV_Journals #JExBio isevjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… and @VesiclesAcids oaepublish.com/articles/evcna… @ajwebb1979 @PaulFreemont

A HUGE congratulations to our brilliant team on winning this year’s University Challenge 🥳 We are now the most successful team in University Challenge history! Suraiya, Adam, Sourajit and Justin - you have done #OurImperial community so proud! Well done!👏🏼💙

Outer membrane vesicles (#OMVs) are attractive vehicles for delivering therapeutic agents because of their ability to interact with host #cells and their natural immunogenic properties. Check out our article which we published last year in @VesiclesAcids oaepublish.com/articles/evcna…

To celebrate #ImperialWomen, we talked to four women from four very different fields 💙 They're all at different career stages & have different experiences – showing there's no one way to be a scientist 🔗 bit.ly/3VexQ7w #WomeninScience #InternationalWomensDay

Section colleague @rkelwick recently presented @imperialcollege hosted event to a @CanadianUK delegation to promote collaborations between Canada and the UK. The delegation was later hosted at an event at Canada House. imperial.ac.uk/news/251754/im…

Reflecting upon World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day @imperialcollege scientists are helping to combat NTDs. Including a schistosomiasis DNA biosensor developed by @ajwebb1979 @rkelwick @PaulFreemont from our own section within @ImperialInfect imperial.ac.uk/news/251054/fi…

Congratulations to Dr Kirsten Jensen from @ICStructBio @ImperialInfect @imperialcollege Kirsten is the latest winner of @Stratech_UK #winaipad competition - and was awarded with an iPad Pro! Kirsten is a senior research officer in @PaulFreemont group working as part of @UKDRI

🏆Our Q3 ipad winner has been annouced 🏆 Congratulations to our latest winner of #winaipad The lucky winner was Kirsten from @ICStructBio @ImperialInfect @imperialcollege 🥳🤩🙌 The next winner will be picked in Jan'24! You can still enter: stratech.co.uk/40th-anniversa… GOOD LUCK 🍀

Really pleased that the 4th instalment of our work to dissect the DNA damage response from @zhang_imperial is out in @PNASNews! Another fantastic collaboration between researchers from @imperialcollege and @WUSTL pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our latest work on the DNA damage response published in @PNASNews is now showcased on Kudos. Check it out here: growkudos.com/publications/1…
