Pneumococcal #pneumonia kills >1 million annually—mostly young children. Research using a new crystallisation method reveals how a novel antibiotic targets the #bacteria behind it, with atomic precision 🔬🧫 @ImperialMDR @impchemistry #PublicHealth imperial.ac.uk/news/265335/re…
Great to see this work from Shiv Radhakrishnan and colleagues out in #GutMicrobes - using network analysis to explore #microbiome #metabolome interactions in an #IBD inception cohort: doi.org/10.1080/194909… @IHepatology @ImperialMDR @KorcsmarosLab
Here at NIHR Imperial Genomics Facility, we continue to extend the limits of what is possible with genomics. Earlier this month, we became one of the first to run the Bruker CosMx Whole Transcriptome panel. Find out more about this work: linkedin.com/pulse/single-c…
Imperial researchers develop an #AI system that personalises treatment for Helicobacter pylori - the world’s leading cause of gastric cancer. Find out more⬇️ imperial.ac.uk/news/266353/ai…
So excited to share a new paper from my lab just published in Nature Communications! We showed that vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) occupied distinct intestinal niches in the antibiotic-treated intestine. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Awareness Month is a time to increase understanding of Group B Streptococcus (also known as GBS, Strep B, or Streptococcus agalactiae) and the serious impact it can have on pregnant women, newborns and their families⬇️ blogs.imperial.ac.uk/mdr/2025/07/09…
Children from ethnic minority backgrounds and impoverished areas have a higher likelihood of dying in intensive care. S&C led research analysed 14 years of data on more than 160,000 critically ill children living in the UK. Find out more ⬇️ imperial.ac.uk/news/266073/et…
A great privilege to work with @JulieAKMcDonald lab @CBRB_Imperial on this new paper, now out in @NatureComms - how #antibiotic-related changes in gut #nutrients and #metabolites promote #VRE colonisation: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… @IHepatology @ImperialMDR @BRCinfection
Yesterday, Daria Bukhman from Bukhman Philanthropies visited our researchers at Imperial College London. This comes after their generous grant of £100,000 towards the centre. The grant will help give parents & babies the best possible start in life: bit.ly/44zcchu
July is Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Awareness Month, a time to increase understanding of the serious impact it can have on pregnant women, newborns & their families. In this blog, MDR’s Dr @ElitaJaun discusses the life-threatening infection ⬇️ blogs.imperial.ac.uk/mdr/2025/07/09…
Ageing and Nutrition Sensing Network has been one of the most favourite parts of my research career so far. Here is our paper published as a network on ageing and nutrition sensing 🙌@ageingnetwork #ageing #nutrition #ageingresearch #nutritionsensing onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nb…
Delighted to work on this piece with excellent colleagues from @georgeinstitute & @imperialcollege. Building on this, we are holding our first MESSAGE Maternity session this week to explore the ethical, legal and regulatory barriers to including pregnant women in clinical trials.

Our findings reveal increasing recognition of MASLD in patients with chronic Hepatitis B across Europe. Varied screening, diagnosis, and management practices highlight the urgent need for harmonised guidelines.@EleanorBarnesOx @bhmullish @ForlanoRoberta @MarkThursz and friends
How common is #MASLD in those with chronic #HepB, and how does this impact #fibrosis and outcome? The research, published in @AGA_CGH and led by MDR's @penny_manousou @ForlanoRoberta and colleagues, looked at results from a large European cohort ⬇️ cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…
