@biorxiv_cellbio Very excited about our latest work

Neuropilin 2 stabilises adherens junctions and protects against endothelial activation by promoting the interaction between VE ... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_cellbio

Very excited to share our latest paper describing crosstalk between αvβ6 integrin & HER2 in breast cancer invasion & drug resistance. Great work by @HJMald & many others science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ScienceAdvances @LivUniISMIB @AdamHurlstone Many thanks to @BCCare @NorthWestCancer

Paper from my #PhD is out! We profiled the gut and oral #microbiome of metastatic #breastcancer patients. This project was a long one in collaboration with @wearemedsir. Thanks @TheQuadram @bigctweets for supporting my studentship. It's published 🎉. oaepublish.com/articles/mrr.2…

Delighted to share that I’ll be joining the @QuadramInstitute as Director & CEO in April 2025! I am honoured to work with an incredible team and partners to push the boundaries of gut health, microbiology, and food science research.

🥳I'm incredibly honoured to receive the @MicrobioSoc Peter Wildy Prize 2025 for #scicomm, a true team prize! Huge thanks to those who nominated me & to incredible collaborators & team members. So many people to thank - I'll be highlighting them all in my prize lecture!🦠

I'm glad I don't have to write an endorsement piece, because I really wouldn't know how to go about it. Ever since 2015, when Trump descended the escalator, I have had the same feeling, which I've never quite seen articulated, so I will briefly try:

🚨 Exciting opportunity at @unibirmingham @unibirm_CMH! 🚨 Offering a 2-year Springboard Fellowship designed to support high-calibre #PDRA researchers in developing strong proposals for fellowships like ERC Starter Grants, Future Leaders Fellowship, Wellcome/MRC CDA, and more.

@ThrashTalk @Yale Whhooooo

I successfully defended my thesis for my PhD in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from @Yale, so I’m Dr. Thrasher now! I’m so proud of myself :) #PhDone #LGBTQinSTEM #QueerScientist

Check out this exciting thread featuring a new preprint from @RobinsonLab_QIB 👇 Thrilled to share our collaborative study on #Bifido and #BreastCancer, now preprinted! We explore the "sweet spot" of EPS-driven #anticancer immune mechanisms. #GutHealth #CancerResearch

Check out the full preprint for more details! 🧬 #cancerimmunology: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

3/ Think of it as bacteria with a “sweeter” edge - the sugars in the EPS are driving immune responses that fight tumours. This unique mechanism positions Bifidobacterium EPS as a potential new class of therapeutic compounds in cancer treatment. 💥 #immunotherapy

🧵 Exciting new preprint! 🚨 We’ve uncovered how Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum capsular exopolysaccharides (EPS) can enhance systemic anti-tumour immunity in pre-clinical breast cancer models. Here's what we found 👇 #cancerresearch #microbiome

@MrSharkey @phillipthesmall Cuuuute

Jealous of Phillip being able to nap while I’m in class. 🫠

@chrtucci Beautiful

Painted this

SO pleased to see this study now published @MolMetab - led by the fantastic @JLopTello! Jorge is currently setting up his own lab @UAM_Medicina so definitely keep an 👀out for further exciting work in this area and research opportunities!

@DHefferle If you want to venture outside of London, you are welcome in Norwich

Leaving for London tomorrow. Any oomfs wanna link up or advise me on sights to see?

@philford 😂

How can I be 36 and still not have fully mastered douching. Fml. I'm gonna become a top.
