Excited about welcoming colleagues to Bristol tomorrow for our ⁦@The_MRC⁩ Psychosis Immune Mechanism Stratified Medicine (PIMS) Collaboration ⁦annual meeting. Guest lecture from Prof ⁦⁦@MondelliValeria⁩ ⁦@RachelUTG⁩ ⁦@MrcPims⁩ are you ready?

PIMS study open and running- first participant randomised! @IMH_UoB @TheCHBH @uhbtrust @BWC_NHS

Thrilled to see Fabi @_Fabi_CZ presenting a fantastic topic today on the role of immune regulation in psychosis and mental health @MIDASUoB excited to be part of this work @MrcPims

@golam_khandaker discusses temporality, comorbidity, and confounding in #psychosis and #depression, stressing the importance of patient stratification in future #immunotherapy trials. Join the discussion this afternoon at my poster (G12) 🗣️ #BAP2022 @BAPsych @mrc_ieu @MrcPims

1/7 Delighted to share our latest paper in @WellcomeOpenRes - Research priorities for neuroimmunology: identifying the key research questions to be addressed by 2030 [awaiting peer review] wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/6-194…. #wellcomeneuroimmunology @wellcometrust A thread:

with @golam_khandaker @bdeako @b_neuro @StephenWood8 and other non Twitter pals!

On 6th July we had our 2nd virtual away day where we had a fantastic line up of ECR talks. To find out more, you can access our latest PIMS blog here ⏬ birmingham.ac.uk/research/menta… @MrcPims @IMH_UoB

Our PhD Student, Alex Murray's, selective review of role of inflammation in psychosis @InstituteMH @UoNresearch @ResearchNotts @NottsHealthcare

We conclude the day with fantastic talks on cell and animal models, imaging, and population samples! Thanks @EdPalmer5, Connor Dunleavey, Alex Murray @IMH_UoB and Rebecca Woods (Manchester) Thanks to all presenters and those who dialled in!

@MrcPims experimental medicine study looking set for study recruitment later on this year @golam_khandaker @eimear_foley1

Our very own @MrcPims post doc Andrey Barskey talks about unpacking the black box of ML, and applying generative deep learning to explicitly model structural brain differences and their relationships with key biomarkers.

Great example of @orygen_aus and @IMH_UoB collaborations demonstrated by stellar PhD students @P_Lalousis and @herniman_sarah! Fantastic work using ML and network modelling to map psychosis symptoms and inflammation.

The 2nd PIMS virtual away day is about to kick-off! We have a fantastic line-up of ECR talks throughout the morning! First up is @benjmnperry presenting his work on 'Inflammation as a cause of insulin resistance in schizophrenia' @IMH_UoB @RachelUTG @golam_khandaker
