Great to see this study published. The dried blood spot experience must have opened up valuable lessons for how we approach testing under pressure really insightful
Excited to be in Sheffield today highlighting dilemmas for immune vulnerable when it comes to measles and MMR live vaccine #UKCVN2025

Multi disciplinary discussion on early stage T1D - so much still to work out and learn with immunotherapy hopefully coming soon to modulate diabetes progression
#EarlyT1Dsummit Amazing overview of the next steps for POC islet antibody testing from @AlexRichter3 @elsadiabetes @parthnarendran
Great to finally get this paper out! The DBS assay has been the bedrock of the ELSA screening program and this paper demonstrates user acceptability and lab accuracy. @DUK_research @BT1DUK @elsadiabetes
DBS is a reliable, accepted method for early type 1 diabetes screening in the community! @Dr_LaurenQuinn @parthnarendran @AlexRichter3 @elsadiabetes
