Check out some of the findings from my PhD focusing on the role of Tribbles1 in mycobacterial infection! 🦠⬇️ Thanks to @elkslab_sheff @EndreKissToth1 and all the authors!
Very happy to have our new findings on Tribbles1, uncovering roles in host-pathogen interaction, out in @elife. Fab work by @ffionruth and great collaboration with @EndreKissToth1 and @mnoursad labs! Full manuscript here: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.95980, @ShefUni_ClinMed @BatesonCentre

Thanks @IneosOxford for highlighting my recent work using ultrasound contrast agents for molecular imaging of bacterial infections!
Can ultrasound imaging probes diagnose bacterial infections? @sarabkeller Research Fellow at @UniofOxford is developing new tools for image-guided interventions to mitigate unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. #AMRatOxford Read about Sara's work here: ineosoxford.ox.ac.uk/amr/new…
