1/7 Excited to share this story on the role of the glucocorticoid-activating enzyme HSD11B1 in modulating 11-ketotestosterone biosynthesis. Find out why this is vitally important for HSD11B1 inhibitor studies below: dx.doi.org/10.1096/fj.202… @StellenboschUni @IMSR_UoB @MRC_LMS

I’ve decided to move over to BlueSky. It’s only been a few days but already better than X/twitter. I encourage all scientists and journals to do the same.

Join the fierce competition to gather the most endocrine specialists @bluesky (according to my calculations, adrenalists are in the lead) @ESEndocrinology @TheEndoSociety @EJEndo

Enjoyed presenting our work on steroid hormone metabolism in Hormone Dependent Cancers at the first @ICGEB CRP awardees meeting for Africa in Cape Town today @ICGEBCapeTown @scienceSUN

Double bioluminescence! As a biochemist I’m geeking out about this shot. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I’d have an opportunity to photograph two bioluminescent species in one shot! #bioluminescence #luciferase #biochem #landscapephotography

@AlePreteUoB Congrats, well deserved! Looking forward to attending your lecture in person!

Humbled to have received the 2025 ESE Jens Sandahl Christiansen Award for clinical science. Looking forward to present my work on adrenal tumours at the next ECE conference in Copenhagen 🇩🇰

Southern Lights (Aurora Australia) from the very tip of Africa where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. There are usually decades between Aurora sightings from Africa, so this was a very special and surreal experience. #auroraaustralis #SouthernLights #SouthAfrica @scienceSUN

Delighted to share our research on 11-oxygenated androgen biosynthesis. Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially support from @KarlStorbeck @MickOReilly1980 and Prof Mark Sherlock. @RCSI_Irl @ICATProgramme @hrbireland academic.oup.com/jcem/advance-a…

@BrownLab_KUMC @uthsc @KUcancercenter @KUMedCenter @drSamDJ Congrats!

Today, I was honored to be named the 2024 Della Faye Reichert Distinguished Visiting Professor @uthsc . Great time giving Medicine Grand Rounds and the Endocrinology Research Seminar, and meeting with faculty, fellows, students and staff. @KUcancercenter @KUMedCenter

Pacrim Breast and Prostate cancer conference, Darwin, Australia. Amazing location and even better Science.

@NimaSharifiMD @CellRepMed @AarmstrongDuke @AzadOncology @AStenzl @dsui_miami_uro @SylvesterCancer @PCF_Science Great work @NimaSharifiMD and Team!

1/6 Very glad that our story on HSD3B1 and clinical outcomes with ADT+enzalutamide in ARCHES is finally out in @CellRepMed with @AarmstrongDuke @AzadOncology @AStenzl @DSUI_Miami_Uro @SylvesterCancer @PCF_Science! cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Great review on Androgens and immune cell function by @douglasagibson and team from @EdinUni_IRR doi.org/10.1530/JOE-23…

Massive congratulations to @WiebkeArlt for being selected to deliver the Keith Parker Memorial lecture at the International Adrenal Meeting @A5_Adrenal Your support of the next generation and #Teamscience is beyond measure! @Jhawleybiochem @VChortis @SchifferLina

So proud of my good friend and collaborator for being promoted to Full Professor. Richly deserved!!! @scienceSUN @AfricanderLab

Really looking forward to this meeting next week!

So good to be visiting the @WiebkeArlt and @CarlJenkinson20 groups at the @MRC_LMS this week. Congrats on the recent installation of the two shiny new mass spectrometers! Exciting things to come!

@MariaTomkins @EUWIN_ESE @ESEndocrinology @MickOReilly1980 @ICATProgramme @RCSI_Irl Congrats Maria! Trust it went well!

Delighted to present some of my PhD work on 11-oxygenated androgen biosynthesis in CKD at #ECE2024 @EUWIN_ESE @ESEndocrinology With thanks to support from @KarlStorbeck Mark Sherlock @MickOReilly1980 @ICATProgramme @RCSI_Irl

While not as spectacular as all the images of the northern lights doing the rounds, I captured what is a very special image to me of the Southern Lights (last visible in SA 20 years ago) from the southern most tip of Africa yesterday. #aurora #AuroraAustralis #SouthernLights
